Catching Up

It has been forever since I last blogged. At least that is what it seems like. It has been 6 months since Christopher left on his mission. He is serving in the Mississippi, Jackson mission. He is loving it. As he said in his letter this week, only 18 more fast Sundays and then he will be home. I love him; he is awesome just like the rest of my children.

I am still teaching at Ogden High. I am now teaching Geometry and Quantitative Analysis. They are terrific classes. I am working hard to learn lots about teaching and reaching all of the children. I am also the Young Women's president at church. I love these girls. They have really strengthened my testimony.

Dale is still at ATK. We are glad he still has a job. He works really hard out there.

Catch Up

Some day when my husband is done goofing with the computer I will be able to get pictures downloaded and up date everyone.

Can't Keep Up

My computer has been dead for 2 months now. We finally got it fixed. In the mean time I didn't feel like downloading pictures to the other computer seeing that all the other pictures are on this one. I will get caught up hopefully over the weekend. It is hard to keep up what with a job that I travel to in Ogden every day and being a single parent basically for the last 3 months. Dale is home now for a few weeks, so maybe things will go better.

BIRTHDAY

Her locket
She wanted cheesecake

teepee in price
the dinosaur is eating her

Today is Heather's 12th birthday. She wanted to celebrate it by going to the family cabin in Scofield. She invited her cousin Kamilyn to come along. The cabin was fun, the girls were never quiet or still, the dinosaur museum in Price was fun. Heather received a locket, a bike, a shirt, and a sweater, a new MY SIMS game, and a cookbook and origami from Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen. (if you want to see more pictures go to my Face Book account)
