I wanted a way for my family and friends to know what is happening and how I'm doing.
I turned 43 this week and it has been an amazing week! Sunday I talked with my Mom and Bailey.
Ian threw a surprise birthday party for me on Wednesday. Ian told me we were going swimming and to throw on some "bathers". I asked if I should change and Ian said no, we'll just eat dinner around the pool. So I throw PJ's over my bathing suit and low and behold Cherie and Jason, Ramona and Patrick, Tine, Bro. Bishop and his family, Ra and her family, Alston, Chris and Ian were all there to wish me a happy birthday. It was a wonderful surprise! Ian got me a beautiful white camera with a switchable lenses. Thank you Ian. I am learning to love you again.
That reminds me, I went for an eye exam on Tuesday and I am so lucky I get to wear bi-focals! Ian helped me pick out a really cute style.
I also found out I was awarded a scholarship on Wednesday to convert my teaching degree from the States to an Australian teaching degree.
We spent the night at the Casino (thank you Alston for a great birthday).
I received the care package (soft batch cookies, EL Fudge cookies, goldfish, sloppy joe mix, salad dressing mix, velveeta mac and cheese, a dog magazine and candy). Thank you Mom! It arrived on Thursday and then evening I taught the YW to make an accordian photo album books. They did an amazing job!
Friday, well Friday was the best because I got some time off work so I could talk to all my children! They all went up to Aubrie and Justin's for Thanksgiving.
I don't think my children know how much they mean to me. I love them more than anything!

That describes my time talking to my children. I love my children! I counted the hours down when I could Skype with them. I didn't want the conversation to end. They make me happy. They bring me true joy! I am sorry for my mistakes, from the bottom of my heart. I am thankful for their forgiveness and love! I honestly could not ask for better children. Each and every one is a great example to me and I am so thankful for them!
