Today I am taking Lauren to take her driving test if everything goes well.  She is nervous but will do well I believe.  I'm a little nervous to have her drive by herself and take my car. The girls went to the temple in Gardendale, Alabama last night. They go with the youth once in a while. I spent a night relaxing after work at watched Lorax the movie (Dr. Suess) The kids got it from Blockbuster, it is a cute movie and reminds us to plant trees! We planted lots of trees on our land and it's fun to watch them grow so tall. I especially like the trees where you can pick pecans or fruit on them! It's getting close to school starting again.  We just had our 18th wedding anniversary Aug. 5th.  It's been a road that has been up and down. Jeff's birthday will be comming up soon also Aug 17th and my sister's birthday is Aug 18th!

Well my daughter Lauren took the camera with her to girls camp this week.  I only work 1/2 days this  week because the dentist office doesn't have air conditioning and the unit needs to be worked on. I wanted to put pictures up but I guess it will have to wait a little while longer.  Lauren is gone today and Heather leaves Tuesday.  I need to catch up on laundry and other things around the house. My side has been hurting lately so I need to get it checked out soon. Hopefully it is nothing.

It's soo hot here in Alabama!  Lauren and Heather will be going to girls camp this next week so they will have lots of fun.  I just got done at the dentist office this morning and Lauren went with me. This month is flying by and summer will be gone.  I need to enjoy it more and have fun before it's gone. Jeff  is still not in the national guard but will meet with some boards before he can get into the Alabama national guard here. It may be next month before he gets in. Hopefully he can still apply for the full time position and get in full-time with them.  I haven't put pictures up in a while but hopefully next time I will have some  pictures with me to put in my blog.

Hello! It is July 13, 2012 and we still haven't finished our house completely! Jeff has so much work still to do on the house I'm not sure when it will get done.  I want to post pictures of the house though so I will try to get some pictures posted.  Jeff recently got a job with Hartselle plywood and he gets the weekends off.  I continue to work as a dental assistant and I enjoy the work. I'm hoping to one day take the classes I need to get my teaching certificate back. I am reading a poetry book about the prophet Joseph Smith and I'm so proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love the prophet Joseph Smith and I know he translated the Book of Mormon and saw God the Father and his beloved son Jesus Christ when he was 14  years old in the sacred grove.

Well it has been a while since I posted so I thought I would post a little bit of what is happening in our life right now.  We are living in our new house. I love it but it's not all the way completed yet.  There is still some work that needs to be done to have it completed.  Jeff has been unemployed for a little while, he is going to be part of the Alabama unit in July and will be applying for a full time job with the military. He is working on getting whatever job he can right now.  I am a dental assistant here and enjoy my job but it's not in education where my degree is, I will have to go back to school to get my certification back. It has been very stressful at times financially but I will have faith that everything will work out. My children Lauren, Heather, and Trey are growing up fast.  Lauren and Heather are at a youth confrence this week and enjoying time with church friends.  Trey is at home and plays with his neighbor friend a lot.  I will post pictures as soon as I upload them and get them to the computer.  We are using the libraries computer for now until we get better situated. 

We have more puppies at our house Teddy our pug died recenlty.  My daughter Lauren was driving the car at night and Teddy was chasing the car and was hit by her.  He died and we buried him on our land.  One of the dogs became pregnant so we have more puppies by Teddy.  These puppies are special to our kids because they miss Teddy and some of the puppies remind them of him. I will show some pictures as soon as I can get them posted.

It's been a while since I last posted something.  Jeff is still working on our house, he has been putting lenolium in the bathrooms and in the laundry room. We still need to buy carpet also.  He is still out of work and hopefully will come across a job soon because that has been pretty hard to deal with! My sister Debbie's husband was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and has to have a bone marrow transplant.  They live in Boston and will be selling their house soon.  I hate that she is going through this trial.  I just saw them not too long ago at their sons wedding in Utah.  She found out about the Leukemia on her birthday.  My oldest brother also had cancer and I gave him a bone marrow transplant in 1983 or so.
