Still here, after all these years

Is anybody out there? I'm still here. Well, here in the cyber world. My last post was almost 6 years ago. I can't believe "they" let me keep my blog without any updates for almost 6 years. Crazy. I guess I could do a snapshot update on our life. We moved back to Utah in December of 2011. My little T-Man was 2 1/2 and had actually broken his elbow a few weeks before we moved, and he got his cast off the day before we packed up the moving van. Talk about timing. In January 2012, my husband started classes at UVU. He attended UVU Winter and Spring Semester in 2012. I started working again in January 2012 and have been at the same job since that time. Daniel transferred to BYU and started courses there in January 2013. He is earning his Bachelor of Science in Landscape Management. And, time warp, he's almost done. He will be applying for graduation this April and will hopefully "walk" in August. He will still have 2 classes to take this fall semester, but that should be totally manageable. He's gearing up to work hard this summer trying to build his landscape business, and that will hopefully carry us through most of the fall. We'll see where we go from there. My oldest son is almost 13. 13!!!! I am trying not to be all emotional about my little boy growing up so quickly! He's in 7th grade and doing pretty well there. He's made a few good friends and I am thrilled about that. His birthday is on Easter this year, so I am trying to figure out how to make his 13th birthday/Easter Sunday special for him. I am open to ideas (if anybody still ever checks in on this old blog). My "baby" is 6 and in 1st grade. He has the most wonderful teacher this year who has inspired him to WANT to read and do his best in school. He loves all sports, though his first love is football. But he plays anything he can. He has enjoyed playing soccer and basketball during recess most recently. He played his first season of flag football last fall and he loved it. I loved it too, actually. This football lover is thrilled that I have another football lover in the house. I work full time at a software company that makes your phone books possible. Yep. Phone books are still a thriving business. And my company makes the products that phone book companies use to make their phone books. It is a small company. And I have fantastic coworkers. And I love that I can schedule my work around my family's schedule. It makes it much easier on me to work outside the home. We are looking forward to spring. We love planning and planting our garden and taking walks out in the nice weather. I love to run in the spring, when the trees start to blossom and the weather is temperate. We are loving living in Utah and enjoying 4 seasons, beautiful mountains and real trees (not those shallow-rooted things they have in AZ), and we hope to live out the rest of our days in Utah. I hope to keep up this blog more often to keep the cyber world updated on our goings-on. Maybe it will end up just being a more regular journal for my family. We'll see.
