Sad and Happy

So if anybody is reading this you may have noticed the only blog link on my dashboard is called the Grahams. That is a link to the blog kept by my daughters sister Adopted Mother. They just spent a few weeks at a family reunion and one of the pictures managed to include my daughters brother Alex. I love keeping up with the Grahams, partly because Tryn never got to meet her sister and this way we know how she is doing. On the other hand with her brothers Zeke and Alex their new families don't blog so this is the first time I've seen a picture of Alex in almost 2 years. I recognized him, but I wasn't quite sure so I got his Daddy on the phone and to the site to double check. I wish they had a picture of Zeke too.

Scrapblog-Tryn and Aaron

Playing with the a new site www.scrapblog.com It won't replace my Creative Memories software but I can link it to my blog and export as .jpg!
I really like this layout of Tryn and Aaron.

Motivation

I'm finding it hard to stay motivated this semester, could be the classes I'm in (pre algebra and economics) could be so much stuff going on at home. Oh well, buckle down and keep going, next semester I actually get to do computer stuff! Yeah!!

A new Adventure

And we are off and Driving....Tryn has a learner permit and we are learning to drive a manuel transmission. She will also do drivers ed but Mom has to have money for that first, so we are doing it the "old fashioned way" Mom in the passenger seat and daughter behind the wheel.

Wish us luck!

Growing up fast

I took Tryn to a job interview today and she got the job! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. I know- shes engaged, but the wedding isn't until after highschool, the job is now. Makes sense right?

We also got her registered for her Junior year today and she has 3 collage classes this year- way to go Tryn!

Aaron, Tryn and School starting

Aaron had to go back to Florida to wrap up some stuff with the Navy and it looks like it could be anywhere from 2 1/2 weeks to 50 days before he gets to come home. Gotta love the military, really. We will know more in the next few days.

Tryn registars for school tomorrow and gets her laptop back-I can't believe she will be a Junior, makes me feel old, like her being engaged didn't? Her being back in school brings more structure in, it is hard to keep that going during the summer for me.

Still no word on the job yet.

Family

What is it about holiday that makes family arguements worse? Especially when only one member is really fighting? Everyone else is trying to get along...I don't get it-and I'm not sure I want to.

On a happier note - I took Tryn and Aaron to get their picts done - wow they turned out great! As soon as I get them scanned I'll share them.
