Just a personal update...

So just a personal update for myself. Especially for me since no one else seems to be reading them anymore. School/work has been out now for two weeks, but it seems to be going way faster than that! I have been able to be on the road a lot with Chet, and when not on the road I have been helping him run the tractor business that has allowed us so many extra things in our lives over the last few years. Ford is officially out of high school, but officially enrolled in Adult education at the ATC, in route to achieve his adult education diploma. Where life will take him after this remains to be seem. He is currently looking for new employment, as he has tired of Carl's Jr and his current manager, who has become increasingly difficult to work for and with. Megan and Justin have been married now for 3 months and have lived in their own place now for a month and a little bit. I must admit this move has gone completely different than I ever expected that it would. I really thought Megan would be calling me daily and that I would be sick to my stomach with worry about them getting up and to work and such. After the first few days however; this worry has dimmed to a very fleeting thought! They are proving themselves apt and responsible adults, (no matter how unwilling) :) It almost makes me slightly proud that in spite of me and my short comings as a Mom, my kids seem to be well on their way to becoming successful contributing members of society. THREE CHEERS for some small measures of success as a parent. The planning for Megan's wedding party seem to be going very slow. I am sure this is my fault since I am SO not a planner, let alone a party planner! I have been working like crazy on the yard and the garden :) both of which seem to be coming along nicely. It should be a summer full of memories I hope to look back on with fondness. Perhaps I will update as we go, or maybe not! Maybe it will just have to wait till it is all over and done. Then with a huge sigh of relief I will be able to relive it in my mind for the blog.

1) I am still reading.
2) You are a great mom. hey, they survived, and knowing Ford's penchant for danger that alone qualifies you for some kind of motherhood award!
3) You are wonderful!
love you! Your big sister :)
