Return with Honor
I was blessed to have the best parents for me. I know as a child I always wanted the parents of friends (you know the grass is always greener on the other side stuff) but my parents where the ones that Heavenly Father decided I needed to help me grow here on earth. He even bless our family to find the true Church of Christ on the earth today, I am proud to say that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon). My parents where converted in Italy by 2 very special missionaries. I have had many struggles in my life with my Faith but I always remember that I KNOW the truth. I was also blessed with seeing a vision of my Granny about a year after her death, in the dream I spoke to her for hours but was only allowed to remember 2 things the most important was I asked her if IT was true? her answer was "remember what you have been taught." that is all I have to remember because I have been taught since I was 5 years old (that was the age my parents joined the church). Am I perfect, No not by a very long shot, but does that mean that I should give up? NO!!!! I must "remember all that I have been taught."
What I have been taught is the I have a Heavenly Father that loves me more than I will ever understand in this life. I have been taught that He sent his son Jesus Christ to die for us so that we can return to live with Him forever. Jesus Christ is my elder brother, as a child I always wanted an older brother I just didn't understand that I already had one, and just as an older brother on earth would look after my welfare so will Christ. I have been taught that I have a special guide through this life and that I am never alone even when I think I am, the Holy Ghost is my companion in all that I do. I have also been taught that we have living Prophets on the earth again today, they help to guide us back to our Heavenly Father. These are some of the things I have been taught but they are also the things the I Know without a shadow of a doubt I will not change my mind on any of these things. I pray that Heavenly Father will continue to bless me to Know the truth of all things that I need to return to Him with honor.
I want to have the arms of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ out streched for me and hear them say "well done you have returned with honor."

Reading
As a child I learned to read just Like everyone else, well maybe like everyone else. I was always in the "special" reading group or class, you know the kids that went with another teacher to get help reading. Well I hated to read as a child, but now I can't get enough time to read. I have read all the Harry Potter books (my Favorite) at least twice some of them as many as 5 times. I have read Lord of the Rings series, the Narnia books all 4 of the Twilight Saga. I have even read all of James Herriots books.
The Room-
Well this was the room before I started, you can't even see the floor. I was so glad the Elisabeth wasn't there because she may not have bee alive after I saw really how messy it was.
This is after, it took 2 days and lots of work. I hope it stays this way if not I will be making money because they are going to pay me when it's messy again.
I also only took out 1 large trash bag out.

End of Another School Year.
Well here it is the end of another school year Elisabeth made it through her 1st year of middle school and for the most part did pretty well. She made new friends, kept some old ones, passed all of her classes and learned to play the clarinet. She even remembered 2 different locker combination's but never brought me home any news about what was going on at school. She has become very independent which has it's up and downs.
Evelyn has also said goodbye to 3rd grade and to a Great Teacher Miss Charity Nussbaum again as her teacher this year, she was Evelyn's 1st grade teacher. Evelyn has learned that it's fun getting to spend extra time with mommy on the bus and at lunch and the having your mother be the bus driver on field-trips does not always mean mom can go with you on the tour, sometimes she has to stay with the bus.
What did I learn this year? Well I learned that driving the school buses is still my favorite job and I think I have some of the Coolest Kids at Peak View. I learned that I I don't have the memory of an Elephant anymore, time to start using a planner. I learned that helping out with volunteering at school is fun, but walking in the snow to do it is not, especially when the snow is past your knee's. I also learned that Boss's do care and appreciate what you do. I also learned that if you use trekking poles to get to and from school EVERYONE is going to ask you if you are going skiing even if there is no snow.
Been There, Done That, and Still Learning
