Happy New Year! So looking forward to 2012. It's a different year for us. Scott is in a new job, Ashley is a Senior is High School and we are wondering what the Army has in store for us. Its funny to be 21 years into a military career and to really not be sure of what is coming next. We seem to be in the hurry up and wait phase of our life.
My new job has become the task master for Scholarship and University applications. The applications are in and we have heard back from two out of three. Ashley has been accepted to BYU Idaho and Utah State University. She is waiting to hear back from BYU Utah, but they usually don't announce until some time in February.
After a quick trip to Utah and tours of both USU and BYU, Ashley has taken quite a liking to USU.
Since we as her parents proudly graduated from USU we have no problem with her current choice. We need to keep feeling out those scholarship applications and making plans but it is definitely and exciting time.
I look around and wonder how I became old enough to have a daughter getting ready to go to college!
Something I have come to realize is that I really like this age. I am confident in who I am but way more peaceful about how things go around me. Don't get me wrong I would love to to have a 20 year old body to go along with this 40 something year old mind.
Scott started off this year is a cast. He had shoulder surgery on the 13th of December and has spent the Christmas break recovering. I hate that our together time is spent because he is recovering but I will take it!!!
Joshua is busy working for and planning on going on a sailing and scuba adventure in the Florida Keys this summer.
Taylor is our athlete. When she is not working out as a gymnast she has really taken to running.
As I type Ashley is away at A Civil Air Patrol winter leadership encampment at Tyndall Air Force Base. We haven't spoken to her in a week and I can't wait to pick her up at graduation tomorrow and to hear about all of her adventures. I guess a little taste of her being gone but can't wait to hug her tomorrow!
I end 2011 truly grateful for my Heavenly Father, My Savior Jesus Christ and for the blessing of my Eternal companion Scott and my kids!
