growing up allison now has 2 teeth and rolls and scoots all over the floor i can t believe my little christmas miracle is 7 months old i love my girls so much and i am so lucky to be a mommy to 3 beautiful and healthy baby girls posted by josh emily burk at 8 51 pm 0 comments saturday april 16 2011 challenge day 3 day 3 your first love i don t remember exactly who it was but i do remember as far back as 1st grade that year i was on a co ed tee ball team there was a little redheaded boy that had the same birthday as me i guess that was the selling point for me i cried the day i had to tell him i was moving from reno nevada to plano texas he must not of meant too much if i don t remember his name i haven t thought of that story in awhile guess this little challenge really makes you think oh to be young again posted by josh emily burk at 9 16 pm 0 comments friday april 15 2011 challenge day 2 day 2 meaning behind your blog name this is one of my favorite quotes in life there are so many ups and downs but it all comes down to how hard you work to improve i try to focus on how i can make my life better instead of waiting for it to change in each of my blogs as i reflect on past memories i hope to see that in time i have been trying harder and being a little better each day posted by josh emily burk at 9 25 pm 0 comments thursday april 14 2011 challenge day 1 day 1 introduce recent picture of yourself 15 interesting facts seeing that i am going to be putting up 15 interesting facts i don t real feel the need to introduce myself if you re reading this chances are you pretty much know who i am so onto the 15 facts fact 1 i have to sleep with my bedroom door closed i know having 3 kids might change some things wanting to hear them if they cry having it be easier for them to find me if they wake up in the middle of the night but no it doesn t matter if i am falling asleep alone for a nap or for the night i have to have my bedroom door closed fact 2 the hardest part about being pregnant for me is not being able to sleep on my stomach for as long as i can remember i have always fallen asleep on my stomach and if i don t i have a hard time staying asleep i lay on my stomach until its absolutely not possible anymore during a pregnancy oh and after i have my babies the first night in the hospital i go right back to sleeping on my stomach fact 3 i love kids i have always wanted a big family and i am making a pretty good start i love the way kids minds think how simple and joyful their lives are there is nothing that makes me happier than seeing a child playing and learning fact 4 i enjoy running i haven t always actually there was a time in my life i quite hated it but after having kids and gaining a little weight i find that it is the fastest way to drop those pounds and it makes me so much happier i love the energy it gives me and how helpful it is when i need to clear my mind fact 5 i can t put my face into the water coming down from the shower head i hate water on my face the only time i can have it on my face is when i am washing it lets just say i was traumatized when i was younger and now i avoid water whenever i can fact 6 strawberry ice cream with real strawberries in it is my favorite fact 7 i want to get my masters in counseling balancing school and a family can be difficult but i love helping others i eventually want to be either a marriage and family counselor or a child and youth counselor fact 8 i was married when i turned 18 and i would never change that i found the man of my dreams and have spent the best 5 years of my life with him fact 9 i love to bake and cook i may not be the best chef when i am down rather than eating i start working to make something in the kitchen that will most likely be sent with josh to work fact 10 my house is the cleanest when i am the most upset when i get mad or frustrated i start to clean not the pick up toys do laundry kinda clean but the wash the toilets clean the floorboards kinda clean fact 11 i have a fetish with rearranging furniture even growing up i didn t like my room to be the same for very long no room is safe and there no guarantee that it will be the same from one visit to the next fact 12 i sleep with my feet hanging off the bottom of the bed i know i realize i put a lot up about my sleeping habits maybe that s just because i am sleep deprived and its on my mind a lot but really i do sleep with my feet hanging off the edge of the bed its a crazy little comfort thing fact 13 i love music i love to play it sing it dance to it listen to it unless the kids are sleeping and sometimes even then there is music on in my house i love how there is something that matches my mood and its something that can calm my mind and help me unwind and relax fact 14 i love to travel having 3 kids makes traveling a little more adventurous but there s nothing like hoping into the car and driving for hours i also love plane rides i hope one day to travel to europe with josh fact 15 i stand with my legs crossed josh calls it the emily pose i know its probably not the best for my posture but it is pretty comfortable posted by josh emily burk at

comments tuesday april 12 2011 balance i have always wanted to be a mom i have always wanted to graduate with a bachelors in what i was never quite certain but never did i think i would be doing both at the same time juggling these two crazy but wonderful things i have seen how far a person can be stretched i thought it was hard being a student growing up i felt there was a lot of pressure to get things right and to always be the best that is something that i haven t out grown i guess in time maybe it wont matter but then and now it does since starting my bachelors this past fall i have received all a s then during the winter semester when allison was born and 4 of us got the flu i got an a i never thought i would feel so disappointed over that but i was spring semester has proven to be back up to par in my eyes but i think that over achiever part of me is waring pretty thin i find it harder and harder to satisfy the demands of an a student full time mom and a wife i find it hard to be 100 in every area everyday the girls are all growing up so quickly natalie is starting full time preschool next year chelsea is almost 3 and allison changes everyday i look back and wonder if i made the right choice to go back to school right away don t get me wrong it feels great to be back in the books and analyzing actions and motivations learning and studying but with everything there comes a price something has to be sacrificed no matter how much i want it i can t add hours to a day or days to a week i have to split my time between my school my girls and my husband i know that in the end everything will work out but i hope i can work it out the right way i guess i am learning more and more about how hard a balancing act is what is the right amount of time to devote to this or what is the right amount of effort that needs to be put into that this has been one of those weeks that is stretching me more than i thought i could final papers for my psychology class rambunctious toddlers and a teething baby all while my wonderful husband works hours of ot to support the family so i can stay home days like today i wonder how i get through i know i could not do it without the wonderful support of josh loving and very forgiving daughters family members who help give me that extra push but most importantly a loving heavenly father his love for me as his daughter and the strength he gives me to carry on each day to learn and grow i am so grateful for the trials in my life that help be become the most i can be one day when i ve made it through the refiners fire i hope to be an example to my girls of what they can become and their worth in my eyes and especially the eyes of their loving heavenly father posted by josh emily burk at 7 33 pm 0 comments older posts home
