Earthquakes....

Well, some people seemed to be surprised because of the recent earthquake activity in our part of the state. REALLY??!!

I just want to say that our world is not going to end due to a 5.3 earth quake..Yep it is a little scary but not time to panic..

I just don't know about some people..

Back to School

Yesterday was back to school for my kids. John had a good first day as a Junior in high school. My goodness it is hard to believe that much time has gone by. He is growing up so much! He even set up most of his own classes and gave himself a study hour with out me even having to remind him. He is also an office aide!!

Allison on the other hand did not have a good first day.She is a sophmore! She had flunked some classes last year ( goofy off mainly) and so she can't play volleyball and to top it off her boyfriend of 8 months is leaving this Saturday for his first year of college. Some of the teachers really gave her a hard time about it, stating that all he is going to do is cheat on her and leave her and so on..She came home in tears and it was a fight to get her to go to school this morning..I just had a talk with her boyfriends mother and we had a good visit. She is planning on telling the teachers to mind their own business and not worry about Allison and her son, but if they have to have a comment, at least let it be a supportive one. Pray for Allison, she is really struggling this year. She and this boy have been together for 8 months now, and the long distance is going to be rough on both of them. Pray for his mom too, she is a little teary eyed!!

Traci is in the 8th grade this year! She is playing varisty volleyball and she had a great day yesterday. She is the only girl in junior high school..WOW!! I am sure this year will be different for her, as she has grown up a lot over the summer!

Christina and Raelene are hanging out at home. Rae is my right hand. She does all the cooking, cleaning and laundry and of course keeps Tina while I am at work.

We are all doing well. It has been a hot and dry summer here in New Mexico, we need some moisture!!

Love to all,

Joanna
