Beautiful story
I really thought this was beautiful and I wanted to share it. I was not sure where would be the best place, so I chose here. It is so nice to see. I worry every day about the way the world is now and how different it will be in just a few years. I pray for my children and the tough choices they need to make every day. Stories like this give me hope and strength. I know my children are amazing, I just need to teach and trust them.

Neglect
This poor blog it suffering from neglect. To all 3 of you that read this, sorry. I have been trying ot get out of the negative frame of mind I have been in, so instead of indulging it, which I tend to do here, I supressed it. Anyway, I will try to post again soon. Anything you are dying to know about?
I have been enjoying the sequel series to Percy Jackson. The 4th of 5 books comes out the beginning of October. Andy, Marcus and I are all reading it together and it is fun. Marcus wants to be Leo for Halloween. We think we can make an orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and get him a tool belt. Then, he should be all set.
Marcus also read the first book in the Spirit Animals series. It is by Brandon Mull. He said it was for younger readers (3rd and 4th graders, I guess), but he still enjoyed it. Brandon Mull has a new book series coming out in March 2014 that Marcus is waiting for.
On the job front, we are still waiting for the job at BYU Idaho to actually post. Andy has all his materials ready and every week we check on it. Today I found a job in Kentucky that wants an English teacher pop culturist that knows how to teach remedial courses. (Andy is teaching 3 right now.) It seems perfect, so we are excited to see how that works out. We would be an hour away from the Louisville temple if we lived in town, plus there is a ward building there.
That's about it. I am trying to enjoy my children and support my husband. I also started indexing which I tend to do instead of facebook now. Andy says it is my new addiction. Our stake president asked us as a stake to index 1 million names by next August. I have done over 1200 since the end of August.
