It's Almost Time!

This end of the school year is upon us and we all have final exams - except Dad. Mom has to administer them and JT and Kaylee have to take them. I am not sure I am ready but I will be, mostly because I have to be! In normal style, we will tell what has been going on in each of our lives. Here we go!

Dad has been frantically working on his paper. He has been busy with work, school, family, and the church. He has plans to go to another state this coming week. He hopes to get some more competed on the paper. He and I have been ordering pictures for the walls in the house. We got them yesterday and he has been changing them out on the walls. Along that line, we made some family pictures last Sunday and plan to post some of them on here at some point!

Mom has been stressed! Not just a little bit, but a lot! I mean A LOT!! This is fairly normal for her this time of year with school just about out and the summer upon us. She, too, has been working on her paper. She has made some progress this week. She continues to run the house and loves being busy. Today is her day and we need to do a shout out to her! 

Mom is Mom and Mom is awesome! I could not ask for a better Mom. I love you, Mom! You are the best!

JT plans to test for his next level in Tai Kwon Do this week. We are confident he will do well. His big news was that he and Dad got to go see Si and Jeb Robertson (the Duck Dynasty guys) and he said he had a pretty good time. He continues to be active with the youth group and seems to be way too mature for his age! We love him. This past Friday, we had a family movie night. JT and I got to watch "The Princess Bride" for the first time. He loved it. I thought it was romantic.

This week has been special for me. I received a letter invitation to an awards ceremony this coming week and I will definitely be going to that! The letter indicates I will be receiving an award. I also have a band concert coming up this week. I am ready for school to be out as I have a great summer planned. 

Please keep reading The Family of N!

Truly Blessed

It has been a busy but blessed week here in the family of N.

Jeremy had to leave town one day for training in another part of the state. Shawna is finishing up classes. She has one more week if classes and then final exams. Kaylee has been working on a project to put new pictures up in the house. It is coming along nicely. JT has been fine because he is a freshman in high school, at least for about two more weeks!

Jeremy is definitely enjoying his job and has been working with a great group of people. It really seems to be a good fit. He has also been working on his paper which he got back a revision from his mentor with some very favorable comments. He was really encouraged about it and hopes to turn in another revision tonight. He has also been active in beginning a recovery group at the congregation which has been a good start.

Shawna has also been busy with a paper and has high hopes of making some significant progress in the next few weeks. She is enjoying her work, her home, and things are moving along well. She stays busy but seems to love it. She spent some time with JT yesterday evening which she really enjoyed.

JT is still active in two youth groups and looking forward to a very, very busy summer. He plans to go to three camps, take a trip with Grampy, and then spending a little time with his aunt and uncle. Dad told him to enjoy it while he could because he will be getting a job soon and will not have the time to do these things. He is really growing spiritually which is a blessing for us. 

Kaylee finished up some standardized testing this past week which she is really excited about. She is ready to finish up the seventh grade and then go on to her last year of junior high school. Sh is growing up and helped in the conversion of another young lady at the congregation this past week. This led to a third person being baptized which was awesome. 

We are truly blessed. Be sure to count your blessings this week.
