Wow... I seem to not get on here as much as I was hoping.
Things have been crazy. From my last post, I mentioned that my family was going to Utah for a couple of my cousins weddings. Those both turned out great! I love the men the girls married. They both fit perfectly into our whole family.
We spent our new year down in Utah also, with my aunt Amy and her family. It was a blast! I met new friends and still talk to them. They are so awesome.
Right now I am working really hard on graduating early and going to college next spring. I plan on going to Paul Mitchell Cosmetology school. I cant wait! Its going to be awesome. I plan to move down to Utah for school and hopefully I will meet the man I end up marrying! =P Who knows what will happen though.
To be able to graduate early, I am taking several courses online to get my credits for next year. I am only graduating a semester early though. I would hate to graduate a full year early. That would be insane! Then over the summer, I am going to also take some other courses online to get through with the credits. My grandparents, bless their hearts, offered to pay for the courses, according to how hard I really want this and how hard I work for it to happen. I can not thank them enough for doing this for me. It means so much!
My sister, Chylanne, is also working hard on her school work. She is such a busy bee with her violin and her school work. I am so proud of her. She would like to skip 8th grade and go straight to 9th grade. That would be so awesome for her. She hopes that with her being as smart as she is, that the school district will pass her to do so.
Ashlynn is such a social bug! Constantly she is making new friends or she is out with her friends. She is still her cute and small little self. But she is funsized!!! We all love her height. Its what helps make her adorable.
On the other hand, James is having this MAJOR growth spurt!! He is so tall for a 5 year old. In no time, he will be as tall as me. My family all thinks he will end up being tall like Chylanne is. He is so hyper too. None of us can keep up with him. James is loving Kindergarten and is the smartest kid in his class! His teacher is going to set him up on a program called PLATO and get some harder work for him to do. He gets so bored with the work they do in class, that he never ends up doing it. What a smarty!
My mom and dad are both still going crazy, staying busy, and looking for as much "free-time" as possible.
Dad is still working for UPS, and what a blessing that is. On the weekends, there will be many times where he will get home from work and not go to bed like he should, but instead, he will stay up and spend as much time with the family as possible. Since he works at night, he feels and is so alone. We kids work to try and make the time he has with us as fun as possible!
Mom is teaching her food storage classes still and is doing really great and is having fun with it. She is also trying to teach us kids about the things that she learns and does too. We love knowing that if we ever need to live off of our food storage, that our mom will help us out since she knows so much about it. We are very proud of her as a family.
Our family is doing great. We are enjoying our lives. And we are enjoying our friends and family in it too. We aren't a perfect family, but we try. I love being with them. They are my world. My everything.
I hope you all are having a great weekend!!
