Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving. I love being with family, the food, and enjoying others company. I feel blessed with life, and the opportunities that have presented themselves. I look forward to see what opportunities will come about.

Fall

Fall is just arount the corner. School has started, all four boys are enrolled. I was kinda sad to not be homeschooling this year; but will continue to collect things so if the boys want to homeschool they can. I have been working on organzing the house and "purging". I'm glad I have several days off coming up; we have collected too much stuff. I got a bunch of canning done. This year I made applesauce, pear butter, tomatoe sauce, and nectarine jam.

New Chapter

I am looking forward to this week. Jason and I completed our temple classes; and will be getting our endowments on Thursday and sealed as a family on Friday. I am so excited. It will be nice to be able to go to the temple. Andrew made a statement the other day that made me happy; he told one of his brothers he was excited because he would be old enough to remember this event.

March

Things have been going well here.  Jason and I are working on our temple prep classes. My goal is to be done in April with the classes, so we will see. I would like to get sealed in May, but I dont think that is going to happen. My aunt will be back in June, so hopefully she will be available. Homeschooling is going well. I enjoy having the kids home. I also like how they are not exposed to the "drama" and "nonsense" that goes on in public school. Andrew,Thomas, and Morgan ( my niece) are doing track. They all enjoy it. I have a week and a half of school left. I look forward to having my Saturdays and Tues/Thurs evenings free. Jason and I have lots of goals this spring/summer for the house, so we will see what opportunities will come. Jason also graduates this quarter from GRCC :). Hopefully he can get into the UW. There are times that this process feels as if it has gone on forever. I look forward to spring arriving, so I can garden.
