We're still here!

I thought I'd at least give you all an update as to what we've been up to since I can't seem to get a hold of those Halloween pictures I wanted to add.

Well, first off, we're all finally getting better from the plague that has visited us. That was nasty! Gotta love those change of seasons and the fun stuff that goes along with it! It's nice to finally have some healthy (and mostly happy) people around me. =)

Casey's car is officially a goner. Is that how "gone-er" is spelled? Either way, it's hit the end of it's days. Its transmission went out and it costs more than the car is worth to get it fix. We've been in mourning. It was a good little car that served us well. Here it is awaiting it's final destination. In the meantime, a friend let us borrow a van for a couple weeks and the kids have LOVED riding around in it. Oh, yes, I feel a van in my future...and so does Casey except he's not excited. =)

Other fun news is that Casey has been provisionally accepted into graduate school, meaning if he passes his student teaching, he's in! We're excited about that. So by this time next year he should almost be done with his Masters and hopefully be teaching Spanish AND Arabic! Hurray! Someone told Casey that he's actually designing the first Arabic curriculum in Idaho so he should expect to get calls from anyone else who wants to teach Arabic from now on! I thought that was pretty exciting. Leave it to Casey to get Idaho on the path to learning Arabic. He loves the language so he's certainly the right one to do it.
And I nearly forgot to let everyone know that two of my sisters and I are starting another blog to share our favorite recipes! It's just barely up and running so no recipes yet, but soon we hope that it'll be a great place to find some great recipes! I've added it to my blog list, You Gotta Taste This. I'm also going to add a link to a tutorial on how to make scripture stickers. My kids love them in their scriptures since they can now find where the scripture stories are in their own scriptures! They're alot of fun!
That gets you pretty caught up! Love you all!
