Hello! It's almost December and I can't believe all that has happened since we moved back to Alabama from Utah.  Jeff felt like we needed to live here in Alabama so we moved back after living in Utah for about four years.  Jeff went to work building a big house when he got here.  We now live in that house but it's not completely finished  yet.  Jeff has had a lot of obstacles placed in his path like being out of work for long periods of time!  It has been hard on me and the kids. He is trying to get back into the Alabama National Guard but they are taking extremly too long to process everything.  He tried truck driving but went with an awful company that didn't keep their trucks up and now his record is bad, they took his last paycheck and want him to pay a lot of added fees. I am blessed to have a good job that I enjoy and want to go back to school to get my teaching degree certificate back so it's not expired. I haven't had much luck with getting a teaching job so that hasen't been any fun.  I try to think and stay positive and do the best that I can.  I love the nice weather we are having and the beauty outside always inspires me.  I want to be an artist on the side and paint lovely pictures! In my spare time (after laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.) I like to read and I have been wanting to learn programming so I have been reading up on C++ and other programming books. I want to read Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol for the holidays as well. I'm so thankful for my parents and family members and Church Family here in Cullman, Alabama.  Hopefully 2013 our family will have better luck with Jeff having some success with work and getting back to where he needs to be spiritually and temporally!

I really enjoy my job but I also want to explore more ways to make money online and business opportunities.  The internet is amazing and so many ways to make connections.  I am in awe of some entrepenuers like Anthony Morrison and Kelly King Anderson.  I want to spend some extra time finding out about ways to start a business and learning more about the internet and business opportunities.  I'm also in awe with my oldest brother Darryl that is no longer living and I miss him a lot.  He was a computer programmer at a very early age and went to Brigham Young University and served a full time mission to Denmark for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He started his own business and it was called Darryl's Computer Consulting.  I have fond memories of him always working in front of the computer and taking it apart to find out more about it.  He loved to work.

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.
