Catching Up!

WOW!  Over a year since I have posted!!!  The sad part is, is that I felt a little relieved when I noticed that I was not the only one that hadn't updated their blog.  I only have a few in my news feed that are still blogging!  I think that is AWESOME!!! 

Not much as changed.  The girls are getting bigger and more independent (so they think!)  Ryan is still shooting animals and hanging them on my walls, and I am still working with preschoolers. 

Ryan and I are now teaching Sunday School in our ward.  We are working with the 16, 17, and 18 year-olds.   It has been a joy to get to know them better!  Last week we were talking about journaling and how it will effect our families.  As part of the lesson, I gave them a challenge to write in their journals/blog/etc, at least once a week (and if they did I would bring them a treat!)  With all of the technology and social media, we are technically journaling everything, everyday, but I wanted them to really spend some time writing their thoughts and experiences about the week.  Who knows who will be reading it someday.  So with that, I have been thinking about my blog all week; how I haven't updated for a very long time, and how I wanted to get back to it.  Someday, I even want to make a book out of it for each of my girls.  It's good to have goals I guess!  Anyway, here I sit on Saturday night at 10:15 pm, trying to fulfill my part of the challenge.  I hope to do better over the next couple of weeks, and who knows.....maybe I'll even get caught up!!!
