Wow, that just seems to sum it all up. Today is the day that I graduate. I never thought that I would make it this far and honestly without Paul I am not sure that I would have. He has really been great this last semester in helping with the kids and taking on additional things in the home to ensure that my studies were top priority. It has been hard but I think it was all worth it.
Updates - we bought a new truck and trailer. Now we have a 5th-wheel toy hauling travel trailer so that we can camp without ruffing it too much. (LOL) We are excited since we are going to take it out for the first time today. Funny - all we know is that we are headed south, other than that there is no plan, no where to be, no time restrictions - honestly Paul and I probably really needed this and today couldn't be a better day.
Recently Paul went with Alexys' class on a field trip to Camp Floyd. Paul was asked to participate and be the group drill sargent and also teach a little of gun safety. Alexys was beaming and proud that her daddy got to be the one in charge. They both had a great time.
Poor Chandler had a boulder roll over his fingers and had several tip fractures (meaning the tips of his fingers were fractured). He was a trooper and sucked it up and went to the school the next day till I decided that we should really have it looked at and found out that his fingers were fractured. Can you say mean mom? I can - I really thought that they were fine till I took the badages off the next day and realized how ugly it looked. What a learning experience. He still loves me so we are good to go!
Well... it has been far too long since I have blogged and updated everyone - sorry - with work and school - life has been crazy. I will post pics of the trailer and truck soon - hopefully I will remember my camera this weekend and post some camping pics too.
Hope all is well with everyone else.
Happy Trails - From The Brooks
