Life Keeps Changing

We were once empty-nesters...actually enjoying our freedom and solitude and then all of a sudden life changed! Susannah graduated from BYU-I in December 2010 and James graduated from BYU in April 2011 so we have two kids living back home with us.  They finished college and didn't have a job lined up so now they are both looking for something!  We have had fun having them come home, but it has changed the whole dynamic of our lives.  Regular meals are needed...way more laundry than I am used to...and just more people in the house!  They have found a singles ward in Casa Grande to go to which they really like, so that has been a blessing.  At least they have some other kids their age to do things with once in awhile.

Travis graduated from ASU in May 2011 so now all 5 of our children have finished college and are ready to move on.  We leave for Hawaii this Friday and we are taking Travis and Christie with us since he is the only child that hasn't gone over with us.  I am really looking forward to getting away and relaxing and doing something fun.

I have been making some new cards.  I have to say that it is very time-consuming, but also very addictive.  It is fun to get an idea and see how it grows.  I made a bunch of thank you cards this time and I really like the way they turned out.  I used my Silhouette digital cutter for a few new things...I love the Silhouette and all that it can do!  It is amazing and really cuts well.  I am definitely not very good at stamping yet, but getting better!
