New things

We are pretty much all done. I have to organize some closets and the kids need their toys unpacked, but that is it! Justin has been great about unpacking. I packed every single box, but he has been great about unpacking. He organized the garage and the basement. He just doesn't like living out of boxes. So we look like we are moved in! We still have to hang pictures, though. I do not look forward to that, because we can never agree on that. But for the most part I am very happy with the way things are in this house. It is so cool and old and there are so many neat little things about this house that you may never find in a newer house, that I am very happy to be here. Well, I have decided to not take classes this semester. My grandmother is in very poor health and I am afraid she could pass away at any time. I want to be available if she does, so I will not take classes this semester. I plan on going down to St George to take care of her the first week in Oct, so I would miss that week of class anyway. And in order to be competitive enough to get into the nursing program I have to get an A in the classes I take, and I just don't think that could happen if I missed classes. So I am going to start next semester. If she does hang on until next semester, I will just have to be satisfied with the time I got to spend with her this semester. I am a little disapointed, but to begin with I wasn't planning on taking classes this semester anyway. But it is more important to me that I spend some time with her, and let her know how much I love her... Caroline has been in school for a week and a half and she is ready to be done. On Friday she was already telling me she was sick and wanting to stay home! I just don't get it! I loved school! But she just thinks it is way too long. I hope she gets used to it and starts to love it too. I am going to be a classroom helper on fridays so maybe that will help a little bit. I am really making an effort to get involved with her school. That way maybe she will feel better about being at a new school. It is hard to make new friends. But at church yesterday she found out that a girl in her class at school and at church is our next door neighbor. She is very excited about that! So maybe things are looking up.

I also hate living out of boxes. Glad you are unpacked. I am glad you get to spend time with your grandmother. Family is so important! Good luck!
