Sorry it has been many months since my last blog. I have been really busy with work and the family. I started a new job that is in Faribault. I am now a Accounts Payable clerk at a big corporation! It has been really exciting to see my career take off, while watching the kids grow up. Brandon will be 17 this month. I still remember him as a tiny baby. It makes me happy to see that he is growing up to be a great man!
The family has been busy trying to finish our boat. They have been putting many hours into it. When it is done, it will look really great. Ed has also been busy making things in his blacksmith shop. He made a beautiful security bars for the Discovery School, while also making me a clothes closet for my bedroom. He is really gifted!
All the kids have started school and are doing really well. They join after school activities and are getting good grades. I just have one kid left for school and that would be Mason. Then I will feel extremely old.
Things are going great for us. We always seem to get what we need, as Ed’s saying always goes. He seems to be right with most things!
In all we have 10 people living here and at times, 11. That is because Brandon’s girl comes over. We still seem to still grow in numbers and in strength. Everyone here helps each other, while also pursuing their goals in life. Brandon is looking at going into the service, while Briana is thinking about taking college classes while in high school. Raven is starting basket ball, which seeing his games will be fun. Russell is enjoying first grade, while Mason is learning some education at home til he gets to kindergarten. The older kids are all still working full-time and enjoying life as it happens. Joyce is volunteering at the Historical Center, while Ed does computer work and blacksmithing for people around town. He has also taken the time to teach Raven about blacksmithing!
All in life is great here and I wouldn’t change a thing. I love my family and Edward very much! Have a wonderful day!
