I didn't realize how long it has been since I sat down to write. It is the second of Febuary and the sun is out and shining. It is a beautiful 65 degrees. I have a limited amount of time to finish up what I wanted to get done this winter inside this house before I will be drawn outside and can be found doing yard work. There is so much to say that i am not even sure where to begin.
I guess first of all I can be thankful that my family is finally starting to pull out of all the sickness that we have been plagued with over the last month. A couple big decisions have been made over the last several months. As some of you know by now, Jamie's mother will be moving to North Carolina from Iowa next month. We are all very excited that she will be close at hand and the kids are beside themselves with joy over spending time with grandma. Of course Jamie will be happier knowing his mom is here. She will be staying with us for a few months until things settle down and we can find the right place for her (she wants a cat so we have to make sure it is a pet friendly environment). We are hoping she will be living near Joshua's school so he can visit grandma in the afternoons if he wishes. Of course Kaitlin will be there next year so the same goes for her.
The kids are all doing great in school. We are so very proud of them. They are involved in several different sports so we are always on the go. Overall, we could not ask for better, more well behaved kids. They are growing up so fast! I realized I have not posted recent pictures of them and need to do so. The whole point to our facebook and blog is to keep our family that is not close up to date on whats happening at the Stevens house.
Due to everything that is going on in our super busy lives, I have decided that finishing college right now is simply not going to work. Maybe in a few years I will have the time to finish up my degree. I have thought of changing my degree when i do go back, but that will still be a while. We are simply too busy and have too much to do for me to complete that right now. it has been a hard decision for me, but a necessary one. Jamie, of course, supports me in any decision I make about school as long as I plan on finishing at some point.
Jamie has started working on his book again. It is hard to find that quiet time he needs with so many bodies in this house...lol. And even when we are not home, the fur babies are. But it is all coming together and I am starting to get excited about the out coming and happy for him at the pure accomplishment it will bring to finish a book he has worked on for so many years.
In all of this, we are trying to eat better and take better care of our bodies. We have a family YMCA membership and had been going regularly until "the sickness" settled in. We are hopeful that we can get back on track with our routines now. We have been helping out friends with different things and being supportive. As Jamie says, if Karma truly exists then we are in the good....lol. (Not that Karma is the reason behind any of our actions). Ok, I think I have bored you with enough of my randomness for one day. If I came up with anything structured I will let you know. Time to get kids and start evening routines. It feels good to inform all of our family as to our in and abouts....Love to All!
