Seattle Part 2 and more cutbacks

We made it home at two in the morning this morning. I loved Seattle I so miss my sister in law and my BFF.  Jake is still not 100% but hopefully will be better after a good night sleep.  We has such a great time with friends and family.  Lee is applying for a job and I may get my wish to spend more time with my Seattle family and friends. 

It is official.  Lee found out this morning that he will be graduating on May 15th.  I am so excited.  More motivation for me to graduate.  The plan is still for May 2011.  I was going to try and push for December but I don't think that will happen.  Actually I am pretty sure of it.  With more furloughs coming there will be more time to get the internship done.  Good and bad.  Bad because we need the money.  Good because I wasn't sure how I was going to work full time and do an internship 20 hours a week.  The department has been asked to cut 7% before the end of the fiscal year which is July 1.  We have already have taken 32 hours unpaid  this year and now are closing at noon every other Friday.  I am sure we will be fine at least for the short term.  Long term is something I will always be worried about.  Maybe when the house is paid for and we have a few years worth of savings then the stress will be gone.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...
