I'm an official Missionary Mom

Ashley has been giving me a hard time for not updating my blog so here's the latest...We have spent the last little while getting Trevor ready and sent off on his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was so excited and is really enjoying his time down at the MTC. He will be a great missionary!

The other thing that has been eating up every sleeping our of my nights is school. OH I can't even explain how DONE I am with going to school. There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel though - I have 5 weeks left until I finish and graduation is on May 2nd. Ü It will be nice to have my weekends and evenings back! Speaking of which, there's homework to do so I better get on it!

Top 10 for 2008

I had a fun idea this year to capture everyone's Top 10 events for the past year. I gathered the family and we turned off the television. I gave everyone a piece of paper and told them to write their 2008 Top 10 then rank them. Here are the results....

#4 Trevor's Eagle / Computer crash (Happened at the same time so I listed them together)

This was a ton of fun - We found it interesting that I combined a few of mine and Trevor chose to separate some (VA & Palmyra) There were no rules so it was all ok - Of course after you have time to think about everything, other things start coming to mind. Maybe I should have also included my newly found love of reading thanks to Stephanie Meyer. Oh well - we'll leave it all as-is and look forward to the Top 10 of 2009!
