Hey there!
I am back in Casper and have really begun my Grad school application process. The place I really want to go, San Diego State, extended their deadline to March! That was cool but I think I will have everything done before then. Or I should. Sheesh. It just takes forever for your transcripts to make it by snail-mail, apparently.
We had a good Holiday in Montana. Grandma Lena opted to not have chemo after all, so on Christmas Eve they moved her to a nursing home for extended care. She is hanging in there...I think she will have her good days and her bad. We spent a lot of time visiting her and Kaelan drew her lots of pictures for her walls.
We got so much snow!!! It was my fondest wish to have 7 feet--that didn't happen, but some of our snow drifts are piled that high!
All is well with our soldier, too. I worry about him now--I didn't expect to get so attached! The boys are just enjoying having a penpal I think and they like to draw him pictures. We try not to get them worried when he writes that something is going on over there--going on a mission, mortars, etc. I just tell them the good stuff from the letters.
And as nice as it is to be back in my own bed, I miss being home! We got to hang out with Brandt and Ashlie and little Will a lot, which was good. And of course, my parents.
