Sorry for the delay.

In the last two days, I have had as many people ask about my status as I have not blogged in a couple of MONTHS. So sorry. Life has indeed gotten hectic. I will try to be better. I have to say that you all have made me feel loved just knowing that you check my blog to check on us. Thank you.

Let's see, in mid October, we took a few days and went to Estes Park with the girls. We had a great time. We visited the Stanley Hotel and we spent a couple of days at Rocky Mountain National Park. For those of you who are not from Colorado, October is Elk mating season. We went to see and hear the Elk. We were not disappointed. We heard their peculiar call and we saw a ton of them. The park is just plain gorgeous. Good family times.

During all of this time, I have continued going to school on the weekends. I have finished yet another semester. One more to go and then I am done. I found out today that I passed my teacher certification exam and am now a real deal, board certified teacher. I still can't believe how my life has changed. Twenty years ago, I had no idea that I would be a teacher. This has truly been a God given journey.

In November, Laura was selected to sing in the praise and worship band at church. We are really proud of her. We just wish she would sing for us. She has decided to drop band and join choir next semester. Finally, I have been telling her to join choir for the last two years.

Becca is finishing fifth grade at Meridian Ranch Elementary School, with me. I am enjoying her so much. We love our 30 minute commute through the countryside, to school. She loves the horses, cows and we say hello to the llamas every morning. We dream about living in Black Forest as we drive through it every day. I have really enjoyed spending this precious time with my precious daughter. I will really miss her next year, or maybe not.

I was told about a month ago that my program for children with Autism, may be dissolved next year. No worries. I am looking forward to applying for positions in District 20 or 38, next year.

Tom has been so supportive through all of this craziness. He remains my rock. He is my biggest fan and I don't know what I would do without him. He has been busy with work and picking up the slack for me.

My sister, Jenny is back home with my parents. She is about to take her exam to sell insurance. We are all praying that this will be her chance to get her life back together. My Dad continues to go up and down. In October, he had his gall bladder removed. He just got out of the hospital from have a skin cancer removed.

Tammie and Daniel are just fine. Thanks to Facebook, I talk to them daily.

If any of you are on Facebook, I usually check in daily.

Thanks again for all of your support and concern. I will try to check in more often.
