Time

Well.. it has been a while. I'm going to try to be better at this... HEY I think I have said that before.

Anyway... Here is the latest:

Clayton turns 16 next month. He will get his driver's license in June. Part of me can't wait, the other part says... DON'T LET HIM GET IT! I'm so proud of him. He always has to come to things on his own and when he does.. it is awesome. Clayton had been taking piano for a while and he is really good at it, but he was overwhelmed and undercommitted so he quit. Well... by the grace of God he has decided he wants to take lessons again. On top of that... his birthday present from his grand-parents and from us was a violin. Now we will find someone to give him lessons for that too. So... to keep you up to date... that means he plays the saxophone, piano, bass guitar and soon the violin! I'm extremely proud.

Dylan is 13... that is such a hard age... for EVERYONE! He is really finding out who he is and trying hard to define himself. I'm proud of him because he really works to be his own person and that is awesome. Dylan loves sports and wants to do it all! We just finished league basketball and have started school track. He is running hurdles and will also so shotput (is that how you spell it?). What I am most proud of is Dylan's sportsmanship... He really plays the game because he loves it and he encourages that among his teammates.

Bobby and I are doing well. Bobby still is hoping to find a job he can love, but until that time he gives it all to his current employer because we are just thankful he still has a job in these hard times. I love working at the church and have really found my calling. I'm so excited for all the fun challenges that come my way, but for any of you who think working for a church is a cushie - easy - cakewalk job... YOU ARE WRONG! I certainly had misconceptions about what it was like to work for a church! I have honestly never worked harder in my life.

That should catch you up and you should check back often. I promise to post around 1 - 3 times a week. See you soon!
