Real Life

After 2 huge family vacations in a months time we are trying to get back to normal or I should say the new normal. No more mandatory public school for us; which has been kind of weird but lovely all at the same time.
Last night before bed I proclaimed that we are back to normal and so we got up for scriptures and family prayer, sent the school kid out the door , walked 3 miles with Megan, did a quick pick up of the house and now I am waiting to hear from film companies which truly is the norm on Mondays.


Here is the family run down...as far as I know---
Since Hayden is around waiting for the mission we have compiled a list of what we need to buy and do before he leaves...it is long but we have two of the most important things checked off before we left for Boston; Hayden's Patriarchal blessing and his taking out his endowments. Both were awesome events. He said he loved having the light focused solely on him...which is a great description of how you feel.  One thing he has set up for us all to do is go to the temple with him weekly.....I  am so happy that he gets it.
As for what is he doing until December besides mission stuff...well he is helping me out at home and at the theatre, for instant today he has to go to the theater and change out a real of film that is messed up.

Nelson is finishing up at LDSBC and then is most likely off to BYU in January. His plans are to live at home for that first semester but will move down to Provo come fall of 2013. He is the Elder Quorum Pres. in his singles ward.

Megan is trying to finish school...she has to take more math. She is also substitute teaching, doing dance for Angela at the High School and trying to figure out her own acting class business which if all goes as planned will begin in January.

Jordan, Laurie and Ryan are awesome. They are loving their new home and making it their own.  they have been painting and decorating. 
Ry or Captain Awesome just makes my day. He came to see us the morning we got back from Boston and couldn't stop grinning at us.  He loves being the center of our world.

Gary is working hard at Beautopia and in the ward.

I am trying to find a purpose, cause, something to do now and I am enjoying the discovery. In our Stake Conference our Stake Pres. Reminded us that there would have been no stripling warriors with out the mothers.  So I am trying to be a better mom.

Life is good and the new normal, real life should be fun!
