10. My computer has been upgraded and is still not set to post pictures #$@%!!

I always feel I should post only when I have pictures- what's up with that? I've been feeling pretty good lately and like I finally have some kind of handle on my life- in recent years I was not able to say that. I cancelled my facebook page for many reasons but mostly I just ended up spending so much time looking at people pages and peaking into their lives I was ignoring my own so back to the blog it is. I'm a bit freaked out about school- I know it's only one class but seriously when I was filling out the online form for the military program for tuition the lady couldn't find my info - she finally found it only to tell me I had spelled my last name incorrectly and then asked if I was sure I am ready for this college thing! Well, no I'm not sure but I'm doing it anyway:) We had a lesson this Sunday about how we are here on earth to have joy and be happy- it made me think about our recent past and how unhappy I was during those trials. I don't know how people remain happy during those hard times maybe it is just that they have a sense of peace. I do know that although we still have some issues going on with our oldest son I am happy so maybe I'm learning something!
