It's February

Well ya I said I would update but Facebook has me by the throat and makes me spend all the time there!
The end of November when I was released was so hard. I felt like something inside of me had died and I seriously got depressed. School totally fell apart and I didn't want to do ANYTHING! Fast forward a couple weeks I enrolled my kids back into Majestic and started my annual Charter Applications. Christmas was soo great I love when my kids are so happy. we didn't have a big Christmas, not like last year which was nice. On New Years to lift my spirits I invited some of my good friends over, We had 4 other couples over! the boys watched video's and the girls sat around and chatted and the kids all played! January the kids were so excited to start school but Cora asked with in the week to be homeschooled again, I told her no :( I knew I shouldn't have put her back in. The first of January brought so more exciting news, the kids were all accepted into Hawthorne Academy! It is a brand new school (not even built yet) that is only about 10 minutes or less from my house! plus a few of the neighborhood kids were also accepted! The sad part is that I also had to enrool Owen. I can't believe he goes to school next year!! AGG!
January also brought slow work, with the economy DOn has been really slow at work and has been sent or came home voluntarily countless times the past 6 weeks, which would be har dbut he has been soo busy with other people needing him it has beena huge blessing. He buys from a company who's owner has been wanting Don to tak eover one of his shops. HE worked on his coach (Huge motorhome/bus) and then he left town. HE came back and DOn go t int ouch with him for payment but he left again. DOn fianlly got a hold of him and went and met with him last night and he told DOn. Let's stop stalling I'm gonna find you a garage and made us a HUGE offer to start his own Garage!! (We have looked at a few of his shops already and they haven't worked out) Anyway I think it makes Don feel soo good to have someone have that much confidence in him! So we are in for a big change this year! In Ddecmeber Don was also released as the executive secretary and we had a few people think we were moving. Which we won't be.
hmm. On January 10th we threw my mom a 60's birthday party! It was a surprise and it was soo awesome that she had no clue!
As far as church goes I am happy to go to Relief Society, it is quite the change and I am feeling much better int hose aspects in my life. I had some major issues with the whole thing. The kids are happy and we finally had colds roll thru our house a week ago.
Jacob turns 10 next week!
Cora is happy and thinks she is 16! aggg
Owen has had his kindergarten check-up, That was sad. but it is life
Sadie is potty training now and it is finally going good!
I love life! I am happy and anxious for this year ahead! I promise not to be away so long!

Thanks for the update. We need to get together and visit. I only have 1 home from school this year and next. It's a big adjustment.

Good luck with work stuff for Dona dn all the other fun changes going on.

I always have to remember.....Change is good and a great growing experience. But it SUCKS! lol
