feeling deeply for my big girl

Today was a sad day, Missy and Spencer decided in a friendly and nice manner that they needed to break it off.  He has decided that he wants to farm with his family.  His words were that they would be the money supporting end of it and he would be their employee.  There were some other things that were also what they discussed but this was the deal breaker for her.  She is fine with following him but is unsure about following him if it involves this setup.  They talked about the leaving and cleaving principle and they have different outlooks on what this means.  She wants a man that is hers alone and I cant blame her, some woman can deal with this setup, but she knows she is not one of them.  She is numb right now but says she saw this coming.  We really like spencer and wish him the best, and happiness for the future.  I wish it would have worked out, but it is better to know now then much later down the road.  Pray for her and pray we can help her do well.

starting a new life

Starting a new life starts with a new mindset.  Trying really hard to let go of the apron strings, i am officially done with homeschooling and getting into the mindset to get on with my stuff, it has been twenty years since I have just worried about my stuff, now mind ya i wont totally be there, but trying really hard to change the mindset. Trying to rekindle friendships and hobbies.  Yesterday we had to sign up for our church directory, Meg is going to Fairport and Missy is kinda in limbo, not a member at Fredrick but that is where she is going, but doesnt really feel that is the spot yet.  So just Dave and I are getting our picture taken together kinda a picture of things to be.  It will def. be an interesting ride.

is spring finally here??

Well I think that spring has finally arrived, and I am glad of it, it seemed like winter would never stop, I mean snow on May 3 is a little extreme.  It seems like anymore winter doesnt really start till Jan and then lasts through to April.  Well it is official I am done homeschooling my kids after a decade.  I so enjoyed these moments and wouldnt have it any other way!  What an awesome thing it has been and the memories of being together will be something i will always cherish!  Got Meg's transcript out to college yesterday and now I just have to work on finicial aid stuff for the kiddos. Well going to keep this short, hope to get some rest this weekend and get the garden in after I see my Mom and sister!

Meggan done graduated

Meggan is officially graduated, it was so awesome, it went without a hitch and we all had a great time celebrating this milestone.  Now we will have to cure her of senioritis and move on.  I am exicitied to see what is in store for her and her future.  Missy has one more day of finals and then she starts working full time.  Meg is doing Mary Kay so we will see how it goes, Mom is trying to keep her mouth shut.  Sometimes sucessful with that, sometimes not.  We had such a great weekend, even though we were exhausted.  Well more later, I start a big hairy week this week, lots of jobs!
