2006 is going to bring a lot of changes to this life of Amanda Elizabeth!

So I am hoping that certain friends start to get into the groove of this.

I have also started one of my goals - knitting! Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas next year!!! hehehhehe Im so excited! I have only been working on one project...but I know this is going to be addicting! Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year :)

One of the biggest changes that people will see is that 2006 is for me. I took a big breath of fresh air this morning when I was out with Shayde. Life has changed. New outlook. I am becoming more spiritual...I can tell in my thinking and writing. I
Change does scare me...especially with all of my new outlooks and approaches. But...my old ones werent working in the past. I was existing and not living.

It is sad to say...but some people that were in my life, and rather significant parts of my life...couldnt seem to handle this. I really cannot imagine someone claiming to a true friend but being upset when my life gets busy...ok ok...rather hectic because I am making changes, pursing my goals and working on me. I am sure that all of my friends would like to see more of me...hell, Id do anything for all of us to live in the same city, around the block and all work the same shifts. But that isnt life.

So as of today....
I am working for a wonderful family as their Nanny. The two girls are awesome! The girls are 2 and 4. We are super busy when Im there. Between gym, playgroups, skating, exploring, crafts. Its too much fun!

I am also working on FOUR courses:
-Human Anatomy and Physiology
-Sociology of Families
-Children and the Media
-Developmental Psychology

I am also enrolled in the First Aid and CPR Intructors Course. I really want to take this...but there are some problems. Two women that my boss, Mary, knows are interested in me doing some Nanny work for them. One woman is for sure, starting in April for one day a week - and the child is an infant. But this one is only temporary as the family is moving to Ottawa in July. Cant say no to that one! The other woman has two children - 3 and almost a year. I know I cant do it all. I am thinking of withdrawing from the Intructors course and being put on the list for the next one.

I have also been dating...but I wont be saying too much about my dating life on here yet. Sorry!

Hopefully that brings you up to speed. I also hope that everyone posts and creates their own journal/blog!!!
