IT'S OFFICIAL -- I AM OLD!!

It's official now, I am old because I am an empty nester! Jason moved out last week to an apartment in Orem. This came as somewhat of a surprise to us. I figured out one day how much it meant to him to be out on his own and so I told him to go ahead and do it if it meant that much to him. Within two days he had arranged everything and we were moving him out.

The house seems so empty and lonely. I remember the days when the two boys were young and Christine was a teenager and I would dream of this time but it all came way too fast! I long to hear all their voices together in the house again. This was the first time in 24 years that I didn't put a child in public school and I didn't do any school shopping. I guess I will have to enjoy all these things from a distance with my grandchildren.

I am happy however that all three of my children are happy and progressing forward in their lives. A mother couldn't ask anything more than that. Daniel is doing well serving the Lord and the people of Hawaii. Jason is attending UVU and working full time and is preparing to send in his mission papers next month. Christine is amazing and continues to be a wonderful wife and mother.

I guess it's time to reinvent me!

I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA AGAIN!

I am so excited. Christine is expecting a baby in March. We are so excited to have another little one around. I love being a grandma and can't get enough of the two wonderful grandchildren I have now. Adding a third will just make it even more wonderful!
