Spring is in the air. I can tell as the cows across the street are frolicking. It has been so fun to watch GIANT milk cows dancing around. It started with a few cows, and they kept going back to the barn and getting more friends. Pretty soon the herd was across the street, dancing around:) Got to love it
We also have a pair of bald eagles that hang around. I see them almost daily. They are incredible. The other day I saw one of them on my way down our road on my way home there was a blue herring standing by the edge of the ditch. I love where we live. Of course we are still under the threat of low land snow which makes us nervous but it hasn't stayed around for long so it's okay.
I have been busy the last few weeks doing some medical transcription work after work, which has made for some long days and weekends, but it is done and dr. has his computer program fixed so we are getting back into the swing of things.
Last night we went to a friends wedding. It was fun, I got to dance with three of my boys, Justin, Christian and Zachary. It was also fun to see a lot of my friends form the Ferndale 1st ward. Our good friends the Walkers are worried about family in Fargo ND, and all the flooding that is going on there. Their family has farms on the shores of the Red River. The Walkers have always been there to help my when I need it. It was nice to say that my parents were in Fargo helping the flood victims there, even if they never meet face to face, it was a comfort to Janet.
My friend, and 2nd counselor in the primary has moved to Connecticut. I am sad to see her and her family leave. We were just getting to know them and now they are gone. I hope that all is well with them, I all ready miss them a lot.
Alice and I have butted heads a couple of times lately. But we keep ironing out our problems and going on. We have had our challenges. But we have so far been able to sit down and talk about what is going on. I can't say that we always come to an agreement but we have at least listened to each other and now understand where the other person is coming from.
I am working on getting myself back on track with my diet/exercise program. Along with working on being a better wife and mother. I have had to also start putting myself first once in a while which is always hard for me. I'm suppose to be slowing down and getting some of the stress out of my life. It is definitely not as easy as it sounds. I'm hoping I'm taking the right approach to this. I am making myself exercise. I also making sure that I get the scriptures in every one of my days. I know that by doing these two things I will be able to be a better mom and wife.
Spring break is here in a few weeks and we are starting to get plans. Alice is planning a party with a bunch of friends coming over for a bon fire, smores, and roasted dogs. It will be a good time. Christian and Zachary are also going to be here and we are working on plans for something furn for them to do also.
We just bought a mini van. It is a new addition to our cars. We did keep the other two cars figuring that Alice is going to be driving at the end of the summer. It also gives us 2 front wheel drive vehicles for the winter next year. We are also planning a couple road trips this summer and there is not enough room in the Stratus for all of us, so we are queit happy, it even makes going to church a lot nicer.
