Go with the flow...

I've decided we're a little like rafters on the stream of life. We float along peacefully, going wherever the flow takes us. Then the stream turns into a raging torrent and we have two choices: grab a life preserver and hang on, or go under. I choose the former. I'm looking out the window at the beautiful blue sky, wondering why we didn't have this weather yesterday. Let me backtrack. On Monday, Tyler told us that he and Brandi had changed the date of their wedding. Instead of June 21, it was now moved to June 4, two days away. They had planned to hold the wedding in our yard; but on Wednesday, a gigantic rainstorm came and parked over Rexburg. So we held it in our living room, with Tyler's bishop performing the marriage. It was a nice ceremony with a few friends and family in attendance. We would have liked for more of you to be here, but considering the short notice, we were happy anyone came! They plan on having an informal open house/party for family and friends later in the summer. We'll pass along more information as it becomes available. They will be living just west of Rexburg.



Marking a Milestone

Solve for x:

1500 divided by 4 + (5x2) + (2x2) - 30 = x

Give up?

Try this:

1500 miles in 4 years + 5 pair of running shoes + 2 pair of Yaktraks - 30 pounds
= a healthier me!



Paul just completed his 5th month of oral chemo and came through it reasonably unscathed. He's as busy as ever with work and church responsibilities. The boys finished school May 29th, and my last day on campus was June 3rd. So Parker got to play Mr. Mom for two days, lucky him! I have an online class to finish by the middle of July, then I'm a free woman...until the next semester. Parker will spend the summer working for a local farmer, Hayden has plans for scout camp. Cameron and Jacob will be attending Cub Scout day camp next week. Jacob will also be going to summer school for 3 weeks. Then soccer starts in July. All this should keep us out of trouble for awhile...

P.S. I just got an e-mail from the University telling me that my appeal to change to Fall/Winter track has been accepted! Now I can go to school when the boys are in school and be home when they're home.
