Trees


There are so many trees where we live, and especially down by the river. It is so peaceful down there. So quiet until you hear construction right across the river. The freeway isn't far from the river but you would never know it being down there. It feels like we are in the wilderness.

Fall Continues


Okay,
So Gavin and I went down to the river again thinking that I could get some other pictures, and guess what, all the leaves have fallen off the tree. I took these picutres 3 days after I took the pictures of the walnut tree! Now our tree is barren!

FALL





This season always makes me reflect on days gone by. I love this time of year, and we have really enjoyed the beautiful colors of the season. The kids and I walked down to the river the other day, and of course I forgot the camera, so I took a picture of the big walnut tree that is outside our kitchen window. I stood under it to take the picture. It is beautiful! The squirrels have pretty much picked it clean as they get ready for winter.
While we were down by the river a deer jumped out just behind us (50 feet away from Paige) Good thing we didn't have a gun. It was a pretty amazying sight. Sometimes we hate living this far away from everything, but when things like that happen it makes us appreciate where we are.

School has also started, and we are all doing well. Garrett is taking Honors Checmistry, and Algebra 2 and choir at the Hight School. He is enjoying going to 3 classes, and even though the classes are hard, he is pulling A's. Paige and I are struggling through Alegebra! It has been a long time! Gavin is loving his subjects, and seems to be doing well.

As many of you know, Ron graduated from University of Phoenix, and I just barely found the picture on the computer. He has found a new job! HOORAY! He will be working for a man in our ward that does internet marketing. It is a step up for Ron, and the money is great. I will be quitting my job within 30-60 days. I can hardly wait! He will also be doing some business consulting with this company as well. The Lord has come through for us again. In all of this, I think the Lord was trying to teach me paitence. I need to be more trusting in the Lord, and learn that his time is not my time. He knows when things are right, and when they are to happen.

I have also reflected on my Mom's death. I miss her so much! It has been 7 years ago that she was buried. It doesn't seem possible that the time has gone so quickly.

Well I hope all is well with everyone! It seems that everyone is getting the blogging bug! It sure is a great way to stay in touch!
