Birthday

So before I start I just have to say how much I love my new blog layout! It took me forever to figure it out..and I honestly think I was making it way to harder than it really was. So thank you Courtney and Alicia for taking the time to explain it to me! :)

My 24th Birthday is next week...which is so weird to me...24!!! When did that happen? Where did all the time between 18 and 24 go?  I know 24 isn't OLD..but it's really starting to scare me that the next birthday is 25! Then that means 5 years before I'm 30..whew..the numbers just get scarrier. The reason for bringing this up is because I was on the phone with my Dad this morning and he asked me what I wanted for my birthday.  I really hadn't put too much thought into it...I knew I could come up with some little things that I would like or want..but when I really sat down and thought about it...the things that I want no one can give me except for Heavenly Father...which isn't necessarily a total bummer..but I'm thinking that he isn't going to bless me all those wants and wishes by next Thursday. :)

These are the things that I really want though..I want for Andy to get the job that he wants..the one that he has been trying to get for 3 years now. The job that will offer medical coverage with maternity so that we can have a baby.  I want a baby...so bad that it hurts sometimes. I want to get a full time teaching job so that if Andy doesn't get his job we will still be ok.

These are the things that I want for my birthday..this would make my 24th Birthday the best  birthday ever. However, I know it's far fetched..and I know that it's not on my time it's on Heavenly Father's time..but boy waiting is so hard. So I guess from my friends and family..all I want are prayers. Prayers that our prayers will be answered..that things will work out the way they are supposed to. :)

Help Wanted

This is to all my blogging friends. I need your help! I am really wanting to give my blog a face lift..but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do everything. I know I don't update my blog as often as I should...but I keep telling myself that if I update it just a little that I might enjoy it a little better :)  These are some things that I had in mind. I really like the 3 column layout. I have tried downloading this but for some reason I cannot get it to work.  I also like how you can see the title of the most recent blog and when it was posted on your friends list. How do I do that? I'm debating on whether I want to leave the music on there..I'm thinking of taking it off. I have to admit..Alicia, I love how you make certain words bigger and some words link to other pages. I also follow a few blogs and I made a link list for me to click on..but is there a better way to do that or no? Also, do you guys receive e-mails everytime your friends update their blog..or do you just check it periodically? I just check mine randomly and go down my friend list to see who has updated..since I don't have that neat post where it just tells you. So I am asking/begging :) for your help is this matter. Thanks in advance..and I look forward to your feedback!
