Each month has had something good.

I had a feeling the rest of this year would go well. Yes, there has been an few hiccups, but looking back it has been wonderful. We love to see Spence and as we knew we would be going to Utah for a concert, he got in a few extra rides with us. Its amazing how he is so pleased with a ride in our van, some popsicles, and going into 7 Eleven. Im so grateful for our time with him. Emmy and Joe get to go on the rides with him too. We traveled a bit, going to Utah. I loved all the shopping. They have different stores there and of course all the game stores were a hit! We went out to eat, enjoyed the hotel and listened outside in Sandy at the amphtheatre to Lower Lights. It was nice. I like to see the family together, even if we were running errands to gather my painting and to get gas and sodas. We sing a lot and make memories in that van. I wrote my article early and set it off. it didn't end up making to the publisher, but I sent it off when I heard it hadnt been recieved. We were driving on I 15 but it worked out for the best and my article made 2nd page and I felt so good knowing it worked out. Celia is homeschooling now and we are getting into the groove of it. She has taken a few horseback riding trainings. I think I like it more than her, but it feels so go to head out the farm and be in nature with all the horses. I feel this homeschooling thing is right and that brings me peace. It isn't easy, but we are plugging a long at it so far. I've been amazed at the ease of transition and the clear path to graduation that I see now that was unclear before. I thank the Lord for that. All the out of town kids are back doing their work and school work, so its a time for the grind, but I'm looking forward to the holidays and all the gathering and happiness that will bring.
