February 24, 2008




Yes, it's been a while since my last post...life gets away from me and my blog comes in last place. Anywho, how is everyone? I've heard from some of you but I'm wondering how the rest of you are doing! Life continues at warp-speed here =-) Trust me when I say that once you have teenagers, your life is no longer your own! I'm trying to remember that these times will go by quickly and to enjoy them as much as I can while I have them!




Shelby is driving more and more. She still has just a learners permit, but asks to drive more frequently. She's really taken a liking to the BMW and says it's "her car", so that's what she likes to drive around in. Mike got a new (used) truck a month or so ago as we prepare to become a 3 driver family. He's missed having a truck since he got rid of the last one. This is a cute little Ford Ranger, 1999 I think. So he has fun driving that, Shelby the BMW and I'm still enjoying my Toyota. Still not quite sure if I'm ready for the whole Shelby-driving thing, but it's coming up rather quickly!




Alix got into National Junior Honor Society this last week. They had their "induction" ceremony and got their NJHS pins. She was so thrilled to get in and we are very proud of her accomplishments academically to get her to the point of being accepted. She's wanting to start taking a dance class so we'll be looking into one at Southlake this next week. Of course, Shelby wants to take a dance class, too. It's always a competition with the two of them these days. It doesn't bother me or Shelby much, but it drives Alix absolutely nuts!!!




That's about it for now. Still trying to find a church where God wants us all to be and be able to minister in. We are getting ready to start the Financial Peace course by Dave Ramsey at Aurora Baptist church. That's been our home-base church for now, but not sure that's where we will end up. Great church but it would be nice to have something a little closer to home.




Take care of yourself and I'll try to post again soon!
