Hello everyone. Things here are a little hectic. We started packing so we could move and now that most of the stuff is packed, we found out that we won't have to move for at least another month. So I guess we will live without all the extras and and keep them packed. I can't imagine unpacking everything and then repacking it all again.
Eric has been working at a local stable. He even get to ride some of the horses. Summer and Megan are having fun going to help him some times. They got to groom some of the horses one day. They were thrilled to death. Jared has no interest in the horses. He is too busy playing his Nintendo DS. I wouldn't have had to get him anything else for Christmas and he would have still been happy with the DS.

Christmas

Happy New Year! We had the best Christmas. We spent 10 days up in Utah. It was beautiful. I love the snow, but I have decided I don't love it enough to live where is snows alot. I got STUCK in my sister's driveway and didn't even get to visit my old friend Chantal. It was great to be with family for the Holidays. The kids had a blast. They loved being able to visit all their cousins. Five of them were there. I had my parents and two sisters also. It was wonderful, but next time we decide to go visit her I think it will be during the summer. I think one of my favorite things we did was go to Temple Square. I had not been there since I was a little girl and only had vague memories from the trip. It was beautiful and inspiring. My kids loved it too. I wish we would have had more time to do stuff, but we had a great time none the less.
The kids are all back in school now. I have started a part time substitute special ed aid position at a charter school here in Benson. Today was my very first day. I am totally exhausted. The child I was in charge of took me on a mile long run when he decided to take off down the road. I about died. Oh well. I got my exercise for the WEEK!!!!
Well things are a bit crazy around here. More crazy than normal. We will be moving out of this house in a couple of weeks, so I have started packing. The house is a bigger mess than normal. Nothing can be found. I am about to go crazy. I think the kids are too. We will survive. We always do. Wish us luck. We will probably need it.
