This year is flying by! Its really hard to believe we are half way through it. Things that have been keeping my attention are:
1. Couponing (I love it!) I can't believe how much money I have been saving by getting involved in this savings world. It makes me happy to know that I am a smarter consumer now and I can tell when I am getting a good deal or not. It helps me to feel a little in control in this out of control world.
2. Learning about the Constitution and the founding fathers. I have really enjoyed watching Glenn Beck and have taken his suggestions on reading about these subjects. I am amazed at how little I have known. And as a added bonus in this pursuit I have come to LOVE Cleon Skousen. I can't get enough of his books right now. I will now put him in my hero category with my husband and Stephen Covey.
3. Planning and working in the backyard. This is my 3rd year at gardening and I have to say that I am really enjoying it. Being outside and watching how things grow has really enhanced my gratitude and amazement in what our Heavenly Father has blessed us with. Michael has joined in this year with gardening. He has made the cutest little fence for a second garden area. (I am so impressed with him.) I have high hopes this year.
And of course trying to keep up with the kids. I have the best kids I really do. They are so trying and loving and maddening and sweet and being there mother is really hard work but I know this is my most important task.
So to sum up this year so far I would have to say.........um........pretty good. Things are pretty good around here.

I see you have fixed the blog! Yay! It sounds like it has been a good year.
Glad to hear it, Cy! Ok, can you please run for some public office? You are a politician-in-the-making for the better! If I lived by you, I'd totally vote for you! Love you, and good luck with that garden!
Yes yes, the founding fathers. Have you read 1776 by David McCullough?
I can't wait for us all to get together and have some political banter. Exciting.
