FREEZING!!

Quick post this morning. We are freezing this morning! It is -5 with a wind chill of -26! This morning is the first time that i have missed the weather in Hawaii. I have to go out in it to take the kids to school and i am dreading it. Mike had to stop for gas on his way to work and said he jumped out and started it, jumped back in and jumped out when it clicked off. He didnt take time to get a reciept and still froze to death. Wish me luck.....

December Begins

I have not updated in almost a month! Sorry about that. We have just been enjoying our time together before Mike reported to his new job. He checked in the day before Thanksgiving and thinks he is going to like the job he is in. The kids are all doing great. Shelby has a boyfriend and went on her first date the day before Thanksgiving. They went to see a movie. Talk about nerve wracking for us. We wanted to follow them and sneak into the theater to spy on them. Our Thanksgiving was great. We had the missionaries and a family from church over. There was tons of food, of course. We ate on the leftovers for 3 days. Today was Mike's first full day of work. It feels so weird to have him here and at work. For five months whenever he was here, he was at home. Now i have to adjust to getting back to normal. Shelby graduates in one month. I don't know if i am ready to say i have a high school graduate. That makes me feel pretty old. Ethan is playing basketball and really enjoying it. He has practice before school every other week so that is hard on all of us. He has to be there by 6 am and that is too early for me. It snowed the last 2 days. All of us were so excited to see snow again. Unfortunately none of it stuck to the ground but it was still pretty to watch.
Hope all is well with everyone.
