November??

What? Where did November go? Anyone know? Because I don't!! Even my 8 year old wonders where it went.
Anyway, the Christmas season is upon us.
I'm sad my parents won't be here for Christmas, but where they are at is where they should be!
They're currently serving a mission in the Melbourne Australia Mission and they are loving every minute of it. If you know my parents, you know they are doing amazing things for the people "down unda!" And they'll be home in October, after a quick jaunt to New Zealand so my mama can visit where she spent her "High School" years. She likes to joke about the fact that she 'never gradutaed High School and has no High School diploma'. But that's because they don't do that in New Zealand. And High School there was much harder there than in the US, so much so that when she went to BYU, they enrolled her as a Sophomore her Freshman year!
I'm proud of my parents and all they are accomplishing, and we all can't wait till they come home.

And now....let's talk about Chase.
Chase, my boy, my reason for gray hair at 33.
My angel boy who knows no malice, jealousy, or discontent.

Chase keeps me on my toes and never encourages a dull atmosphere.

See this book? I don't know why, but for some reason, every night, Chase shoves it under his bedroom door. No matter where I hide it in his room, he finds it, and shoves it under the door. If I shove it back under the door, when I wake up in the morning, it's back where it was before i shoved it back under the door.
Silly boy!
