I LOVE THE END

I love the end of the semester.  I feel like I accomplished something.  That I am now 13 weeks closer to a degree.  School goes back on the 6th but due to me being in Seattle I won't start back to school until the following week.  So I have four weeks to get the house clean, spend four days up North, and read and work out..  I am now "blogging for books".  So far so good.  I love to read but can't always justify spending the money on the books.  I am planning on getting two books read and blogged before the semester starts. 
Lee's brother is coming into town Monday and then they are leaving Wednesday for Lee's parents' house.  I will drive up on the 23rd with Lee's cousin and back home on the 26th.  Lee and the kids will get to stay almost until the new year.  But I am not sure if they will stay that long.  They may miss me and want to come home sooner. ;)
I am looking forward to Christmas in Kamiah despite the logistics of the whole thing. Dragging Santa presents up there and back seems like a huge pain.  I really can't complain.  This will the 11th Christmas I have been married and the 3rd I have spent with Lee's family.  We are hoping for snow.  The kids even got new snow boots and Victoria got new snow mittens.

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...

Covid 19

Words can not expressed the range of emotions I am feeling at the moment.  One week ago we had it all planned out.  Then Covid happened.  And the whole world was suddenly on hold.  Kids had school Monday but then have been out for ten days and are scheduled to return on the 20th of April.  However most people think that is unlikely.  My heart is breaking for graduating seniors.  We cancelled our trip to Zion which may have happened any way because it was calling for snow.  I hope we will rise from this stronger but right now I feel like curling up in a ball and crying. Lee now has work at home options since we have not been put on "lockdown" at this point although several other areas and cities across the county including a few in Idaho have been. I try and  look for the good.  Healthy kids, good weather, lots of projects we put off being completed.  But some moments it feels like we are missing on so much. We did church at ho...

When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
