The Last Few Months
Well, it's been a long time since I've last written. Surprise, surprise -- I'm not very good that this regular journal-writing thing. I'll just try the best that I can to catch up. I know I end up missing a lot when I do this, which is a bummer, but it's better than nothing. I feel like I'm writing the book of Omni in the Book of Mormon -- giving a very short summary of things that happened, but adding no real depth or substance to the writing.
I've been busy with my Stake calling, but not too busy. I still miss the close association that I had with the YW in my ward when I served in the Ward YW presidency. The youth presented a sacrament meeting program a few weeks ago that left me in tears. I love the youth. They are so strong, spiritual, and talented and I know that they were saved for these last days because of the strength that they posess.
I contacted the High School District (AVUHSD) whom I worked for for two years before having Lizzie. Appartently, they told me that all that I need to do is take an English class and a U.S. Constitution class and they would be able to reccommend me to get my credential renewed. So I'm taking an English class right now, it will be finished in a few weeks. Next semester I'm going to take a consititution class at AVC. I'm hoping that I can get an credential so that I can be qualified to work from home. I really need to be more available for my family. Working from home would be ideal. The last few weeks the kids have been so sick with the flu. I have had to miss three days of work. The days that I went to work I was thinking about the kids. I'm doing what I can to get on the right path to work from home...the rest is in the Lord's hands. If I can get a credential and start working from home, it will also relieve the big stress that I have regarding what would I do if something happened to Jon and I would have to work. I'm just not ready to support a family at this point in time. However, if I get my credential, we would be okay.
Things haven't been going well for Craig. It really makes me sad. I have learned so much recently about the importance of getting on the covenant path and STAYING there. That's the hard part. Doing what it takes to STAY on the path. It's the only way that leads to true happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. Happiness can't be found in anything that the world has to offer.
I'm just going to upload a bunch of pictures that I have taken since I last wrote...
The kids' school pictures! Mason claims he doesn't know how to smile, ha ha. I love all of these kids so incredibly much! Can't believe they're mine!
