Time Flies

I can't believe I haven't written on my blog for almost a year. Time flies by so fast. This time last year I was eagerly anticipating our trip to Maui - what a wonderful time we had-many wonderful memories. If the Lord is willing we will return again.

In the time that has past I traveled to Austin in the summer and Santa Barbara in September with Sammy, Mandy and Linkoln. I love to travel and it is so special to travel with those you love. I missed Mike alot.

All of the grandchildren have grown so much. Katelynn is now 15, unbelieveable. She is an awesome tennis player. Emile, Jordan and Marc have each grown a foot I believe. Gracie and Linkoln have changed so much in this year. It is a joy to watch them all grow but sad because time is passing so quickly. We are looking forward to little Jakob in May. Michelle is ready NOW.

This year brought many changes to our lives - Heath and Melissa are together and are getting married in a couple of weeks. The girls love having their daddy back at home. Heath is a manager at Posados and with Melissa managing at Dove Creek I wonder how this will work with two managers in the same house. But the love is strong so I believe all will be well.

Both Melissa and Heath and Michelle and Schon have moved to new homes recently and I know that is exciting for them.

Mandy and Sammy are having a ball raising their little Linkoln. Sammy is going well in his business and Mandy is an awesome mother and teacher for Link.

My biggest change outside the family is saying goodbye to Kay as she retired and welcoming a new principal, Doreen Krebs. My job is so different now but I love it. She has brought sunshine into the office. Each day is a new adventure and I am happy to go to work each day. I plan on retiring in two years but who knows- I may last longer :)
