Things...they are a-changin'

As the seasons change and we start thinking about resetting our clocks for fall, there are some changes happening in our own little family.

Katie has chosen her path in life, for now anyway.  She graduated from high school in June and began to make a life for herself.  She has chosen to serve God. She is taking part in Disciple Training School and moved to Mexico. She is currently someone near Tijuana for the next six months. After her training is finished there she will be moving on to serve in another country. She's been gone for a week now. We have heard from her once, saying she is enjoying it very much and is looking forward to the next six months.

Malorie turned 17 in August and is making plans for the next phase of her life. She keeps wavering back and forth on college plans. I think she pretty much has it down to nursing school or becoming a paramedic. But, as with most 17 year olds, she keeps changing her mind.

Justin is now 15 and has a drivers permit. He spent the summer with us and is now immersed back in school and life in Minneapolis. We're making plans for him to come home for Thanksgiving and hopefully a little deer hunting.

Abbi...well...is still Abbi.  She'll be 15 in January and started high school this year. She has her first high school dance coming up next week and is very excited about it. She's actually wearing a dress!

Sutton is your typical 7 year old boy. Loves being outside and loves video games. He's growing like crazy!

As for DJ and I, all is well. DJ stated a new position at work and finally got to move to first shift. He's continuing his online degree and will have his Associates Degree in Business next August. We've managed to get the motorcycle out a few times this year and have really enjoyed riding this summer.  I'm just busing keeping up with everyone and trying to sneak in a couple hours a week to crochet!

I've taken some great pictures this summer and I hope to get those up soon.

As the weather begins to cool and the leaves change color, our lives will continue to change. Soon we'll be bundled up waiting for the snow to fall.  We've had a great summer and look forward to what life throws our way!
