another year goes by...

I can't really believe it has been a year since I last wrote on here! Life has changed dramatically. I have been so busy with other stuff that my blog has gone away to the side.
We decided after much prayer to close our shop. It really was such a struggle financially and emotionally. We did this right before Christmas. Don was told he could come back to his old job but when it came down to it they wouldn't bring him back on. Because we never paid ourselves we could not collect unemployment and Don did what he could out of hour garage at home till he finally secured a job in March with Water Movers in Salt Lake. He has been happy there so far. Right before he started a job I got him out running with me occasionally and he has also taken up cycling. He ran a 5k in February and March with me, February I beat him and March he beat me and I haven't been able to catch him yet. I started bringing him to a running club I meet with and he has made some good friends and was able to join their team for this years Ragnar next weekend.

Jacob- Oh boy! He is growing up so quickly! He turned 12 in February and LOVES young men's and has really done well in school this year. He starts Junior High next year and really wants to play the Trumpet.

Cora -She is the same old Cora with a little more attitude-tween.. that's all I gotta say. She is loves going to school and has made some new really great friends this year!

Owen-Has finally put on a couple inches! He had a great year at school and has really started to become his own person. He is being baptised this fall! I can't believe it!!

Sadie-My baby, my last child. She turned 5 a month ago. And she starts Kindergarten this fall boohoo!! She is soo excited!
