Our New Decision

I just thought I would get on here and let you all know a few things. Things are going pretty good here. My sister, Ericka, and her family were just here this past weekend and we had so much fun. Jon and Tom even got to work on Jon's Jeep and got all the electrical work done on it which is great so hopefully that can be up and running soon and we will have two vehicles instead of just one. Two vehicles would definitely make life a little easier.





Jon is in the field this week until Thursday. It isn't a very long field problem-it is just a matter of getting used to having him gone again since he hasn't left in almost a year. He will be done with school next month but then I guess there will be another three week thing he will have to do before actually being in a unit. He is not looking forward to that. It looks like he will not deploy until 6-9 months after he finishes school so that would be nice. We are definitely praying that if this is the case that he will be able to make our Disney Trip in September. We are so looking forward to that trip and it would be so nice if Jon could go with us. I even, after this next check, will have all the souviniers bought so that is a good feeling.

This week is the kids last week in school. Justice's class took a trip to our neighborhood pool all day yesterday and he had so much fun-not to mention that I didn't have to fight him to go to bed last night. Michael has been having a lot of issues with bullies this year and is really not enjoying school so he is ready to be done with it. This brings me to the next point. Please be praying for us because we are very seriously considering homeschooling this next year. I say seriously but I am pretty sure, after talking to Shari last night, that our decision is made and we will be doing it. Jon told me about a week ago that he really wants us to and after yesterday and talking to Michael's teacher I have come to the realization that I think we should as well. Shari is going to send me some stuff so I can "practice" and see if we can do it and we will go from there. I probably will start them in July like Shari is that way we can kind of be on the same page with some things if I have any questions. I just wish that the next few days would go by faster so I can let Jon know that I finally think we can do it. I also think that we will turn our front room into the school room. It is only used for the kids watching tv and has a futon in there for when we have guests so it would be the perfect room to change and make room for a school room. This way they will have no distractions and we will have a certain place to actually do school each day!

So that is the news from us! I will let you all know how it is going when we start it.
