Thankful for Chuckie Cheese...

We took Eliana and Finn to Chuckie Cheese's in Layton the other day. They had a ball...and so did Andrew and I. (And it did not disappoint... I was ill almost immediately after I finished my 2nd round of salad and first slice of pizza.) Now every time they say a prayer...whether it be at dinner or before bed, they always say to please bless Chuckie Cheese's. Finn sometimes even throws in a I am thankful for Chuckie Cheese and the games there. I have to really concentrate not to laugh.

The McClellan Family...

February 13, 2009
Just a little introduction to the McCellan clan. Andrew and I have been married about 5 1/2. We were married in the Salt Lake temple July 18, 2003. We had our first baby Eliana MiShelle May 1, 2004 in Hillsboro Oregon. (Yes, we wasted no time...not exactly planned.) Almost 2 years later we had Finn Andrew...born January 27, 2006 in Olympia Washington while we were on vacation 5 1/2 weeks early. It was quite the adventure.

Andrew and I lived in Oregon for 3 years. Then we moved to St. George for 2. (It was like a dream come true.) Now we are currently living in Vernal, UT (where we grew up.) St. George is going through a real slow time economically and Vernal is booming with oil. (Yes, oil is what brought us back here.) If you are from Vernal then you know exactly what I am saying. We are living in a rental condo with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Ellie complains frequently that she is sick of sharing a room. At first I felt bad for her, but now I think it will be a good experience for her.

So...that is us in a nutshell. Andrew and his brother Brady have started a water trucking company call Gold Spur. I have been working a little driving a pilot car...Action Pilot Car Services to be exact.

I have contemplating going back to school for my masters in school counseling. However, instead of making a decision I have been indecisive, dragging my feet. If I keep this up, the decision will be made for me and I won't have a choice. (I just won't get into the program...therefore the decision will be made for me.) Procrastination. I think I am scared of making the wrong decision and having regrets...so in turn I do nothing. Not the brightest way to go about it. It's like I am just waiting for some sign or something big to happen that will give my answer. But to be honest I am not even really looking for a sign. I guess I just hope something will smack me in the forehead and I will somehow know just what to do that will make me happy and content in my decision.
