March Madness

March is not my favorite month. The weather is unpredictable, I hate the wind, and there are no days off from school. However, we're already halfway through it, so I guess I'll survive!

Andrea is taking her driver's test next week. I am so excited for her, nervous too. I know how much it means to every 16 year old. I think she'll do great. While I'm happy I won't be a taxi anymore, I'm also sad because I won't have have that time in the car with her either. Good luck Andrea!

Today we are moving stuff from my sister's storage unit to her new house! I'm thrilled for her. What a big step into being a grown up. I have been out of my parents house since I was 18, so I'm happy she'll be on her own two feet. It's about time!

Janelle is in Chico with her FFA group having the time of her life. I'm glad my kids are adventurous enough to be comfortable going away from home on their own. When I was their age, I had no interest in being away from home. They are braver than I was! David is way down in Escondido this weekend. I know he is looking forward to being home for a few weekends that are coming up. He's been away a lot, but I am happy he is getting so much out of his Grand year.

What a strange January!


I can't get over the wonderful weather we have had in December and January!  Hardly any rain, lots of blue skies and sunshine!  While I am definitely enjoying it (especially not having any rainy day gym recesses!) I know we really do need some rain.  The rivers need it, the fish need it, the farmers need it, and it's not going to be pretty if the entire winter is this dry.  Bring on a good storm!


David and I are still madly traveling most weekends, and I am more thankful than ever for our supportive family.  We wouldn't be able to do it with out them!  The kids are looking forward to helping Auntie get her new house ready to be moved into.  I'm kinda sad I'm not around much to help.  I love to paint!  They are looking forward to a new place to hang out and spend the night, too.

I think I'll go enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.  It's too good to last much longer!
