Happy New Year

So I have been a huge slacker on updating this.. sorry! Life is a little crazy with Emerson gone, but we are adjusting. We had a wonderful time in Idaho Falls and Utah over the Christmas break, it was wonderful to see so many of our friends, we wish we could of seen you all! Jeff survived his first semester and did pretty good. I was a little disappointed with my grades, I received a B in my history class and the teacher hasn't responded to my questions as to how this happened. So I finished up with a 3.8 GPA but it could of been worse! This semester is a little strange so far. I have a professor that swears like a sailor and yells out the "F" word just to make sure we are paying attention. Very different from schools in Utah and Southeastern Idaho! But to be quite honest it is the class that I am learning the most in and the most challenging so I guess we take the good with the bad sometimes. The kids are all doing amazing and Lauren has started reading. It is so fun to see them get the concept and see their excitement for books. Adison just finished the first Harry Potter book and it only took him a week. He is so smart, just like his dad and big brother! All the kids are in gymnastics and Chloie is a natural, they have moved her up to level 2 already and they tell me she is a born gymnast! Jeff isn't so sure about it but he will come around, mostly because he doesn't have a choice! Other than that we are all plugging along and looking forward to the summer when we can be with you all again! Until next time, know that I miss and love you all!
