A MOMENT OF PEACE

WOW WHAT A WHIRLWIND OF THE PAST TWO WEEKS, I DIDN'T THINK LIFE COULD BE SO NUTS, I AM SURE THE NUT HOUSE IS CALLING MY NAME!! WE HAD FOSTER KIDS IN OUR HOME FOR A WEEK, THREE LITTLE GIRLS AGES TWO, THREE, AND ONE, WHAT A HANDFUL WITH OUR LITTLE CASHAROO. THESE GIRLS NEEDED SO MUCH LOVE AND ATTENTION, I WAS SO THANKFUL FOR OUR CLASSES THAT TAUGHT US HOW TO DEAL WITH THEIR BEHAVIOR AND NEGLECT. I WAS SAD TO SEE THEM GO, BUT FAMILY IS BEST AND THEY NEED ALOT MORE ATTENTION THEN I COULD POSSIBLE GIVE THEM. BESIDES TAKING FOUR KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF THREE WAS A NIGHTMARE AT THE SOCCER GAME!! WE HAVE BEEN BUSY GETTING CHEVY BACK DOWNSTAIRS AND RE-PAINTING HIS ROOM IN BRIGHT BRIGHT BLUE AND PUMPKIN ORANGE!! IT ACTUALLY TURNED OUT AWESOME, WE ALSO MADE MARTY A MAP ROOM UPSTAIRS, WHERE HE CAN HANG UP THE MAPS HE LOVES TO STUDY AND PUT OUT ALL HIS CAR STUFF. WE HAVE BEEN SO BUSY IN OUR HOUSE AGAIN!! WE DID GET TO GO TO THE TEMPLE WITH WES AND MO AND IT WAS AWESOME!! MARTY AND ME GOT TO BE THE WITNESS COUPLE SO IT MADE IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL, WE ARE SO PROUD OF THEM BOTH AND THEIR DECISION TO STAY WORTHY IN A WORLD OF CHAOS!! WAY TO GO!! CHEROKEE HAS BEEN GOING CRAZY WITH ALL HER FFA STUFF, SHE MADE PRESIDENT FOR HER SCHOOL NEXT YEAR AND THEN TURNED AROUND AND GOT DISTICT PRESIDENT, SO SHE WILL BE VERY BUSY NEXT YEAR!! SHE IS SO EXCITED AND WE ARE PROUD OF HER!! CHEVY HAS BEEN BUSY WITH SOCCER AND SCOUTS, HE IS PULLING A 4.0, SO I AM VERY PROUD OF HIM AND HE IS A GREAT HELPER TO ME ALL THE TIME!! CASH JUST KEEPS GOINGGGGGGGG, HE NEVER SLEEPS AND STILL HAS ENERGY, HE HAS BECOME VERY SASSY!! HE IS ALWAYS TELLING ME TO GO TO THE NAUGHTY CORNER!! CONTESSA AND TEDDYBEAR ARE TRYING TO FIND A NEW PLACE TO LIVE, AND WORK OUT ALL THIS BABY STUFF, SHE HAS BEEN PRETTY SICK. I LOVE IT!!! IT IS CALLED PARENT PAYBACK!! I JUST TELL HER TO KEEP ON EATING THOSE CRACKERS AND WARM SPRITE. LIFE IS SO GOOD, I SIT BACK EVERYNIGHT AND JUST BREATHE AND THINK HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR ALL MY BLESSINGS AND TRIALS, I AM JUST SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT FAITH THAT THE GOSPEL IS THEIR FOR MARTY AND ME TO STRENGTHEN US AS A UNIT. I LOVE YOU FAMILY, LOVE, C
