TGIF..
I am so thankful it is finally Friday.
Traci has a yard sale tomorrow to raise money for her FCCLA trip..I am afraid we are still a distance from her goal, but have faith that we might reach it. She leaves July 8th for California!!!
It has been a long week here in Maxwell. Seems each time you clear one hurdle, two more pop up to take it's place.
We had unbelievably hot temps here in New Mexico. I heard today that New Mexico is ranked number one in drought conditions, I believe that they are right! It is soo very dry here. The village has had to issue Firework bans and so have some area's close by. We really need some rain and lots of it.
My little sister is getting married next month. I ask for prayers. I will not go into detail, I just will leave it at that.
Next Friday we head to Santa Fe, as Christina has a little bead or earring back in her ear and that is the closest ENT doctor around. Should make for a long day, as we have to be in Santa Fe (150 miles away) by 8:30 in the morning!!
Okay, it is almost my lunch time and I need to go help the girls with the SOY lunch program..
I will pop back in later on...........

Put above ingredients in large bowl.
¼ c. butter melted in frying pan
Sliced almonds ¼ small pkg.

Once again finds me trying to stay up with my blog..
I believe that I need this account to maybe help me share and stay in touch with friends and family..
I am going to try to get on here once a week at least and update each of you about our family life. I might even add some recipes and share some prayer needs..
Watch and you shall see..

Back to Blogging
Thought that it was time to return to blogging. I realize I seldom have any me time and maybe this will help me relax and stay in touch and sort of give me a place to vent, cry, laugh and of course talk about the children.
Christina turns 4 tomorrow! Mercy where has the time gone too? We will have a family party for her tomorrow at my dad's house and will let her come home here to open her presents..
Allison made State in Xcountry. She will run at Rio Rancho high next Saturday, she will begin basketball practice I believe shortly after that..
John finished Xcountry as well, although he did not place, we are still proud of him for going out for this event. He is thinking of going out for basketball as well.
Traci is doing good and joined FCCLA this year and is active in that. She is in junior high this year.
Raelene helping out at home trying to decide what to do next. She has been a blessing, as she baby sits, and does the house work, so I am not complaining too much.
Frank and I stay busy and on the go..ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

College, volleyball and back to school.
Things here are WILD. I am working still full time. I have days that I love it and days that I would much rather do something, anything else. But all in all, my job has become pretty special to me. I am learning so much and I am also learning to balance my time a little better. Right now I am on something for depression. I really needed and know that it helping me deal with all the changes in my life. I miss my mom badly and feel like I still have a long road to go here.
Raelene is enrolled and doing well at Eastern New Mexico University. She is adjusting well and learning to do many things on her own. I think she is going to do okay. She and her roommate are very different people, but are starting to adjust to one another. We finally have most if not all the bugs worked out with Financial aid, so now it is just the every day life she will be dealing with.
John, Allison and Traci are doing good in school. John is off to a little of a rough start, but I am on top of it most of the time and we hope we don't have many more nights like last night..DON"T EVEN ASK!!!
Allison and Traci are both playing junior high volleyball. I think their first game is sometime in September. Junior high does not play as many games as high school, so their season does not get under way as early in the year.
Christi is staying with my sister during the day. PRAISE THE LORD! She has really grown and is talking all the time now. She is missing Raelene and calls her some nights and just cries and begs her to come home.
Frank is walking for an area farmer right now. It really helps and he likes it. He gets to be outside and he only has one person to answer too, so he does not have to "bring work home". He is still on the fire department and the school board.
Continue to pray for us, as money is still an issue and I am still dealing mom being gone.
Take care all,
Joanna

Sunday Morning
Getting ready for church here in a bit.
I have been down the past few days, struggling with some depression and sadness and missing my mom/
But too busy to stop too long to give into it.
Money is still an issue. I am working about 32 hours a week now, and Frank is still drawing unemployment. He has had some good job interviews lately, but most or state jobs and you have to wait for the whole hiring process. We shall see!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are busy with last minute details for our Associational 100th Anniversary. It should be great. I will have to post some pictures.
The kids are doing good. Staying busy, and helping out so much.
Raelene is getting ready for college. Eastern New Mexico is her choice and she is finishing up paperwork. I am sad to know that she is this old, but happy to know that she has done so well.
I will update more later on that..
I think that is most of the news here. I hope to get on here sometime and really tell all that is new.
