Wow! I can't believe this month is half over! It has been a different kind of month. #1. I had to ask Jonathon to find another place to live. We just don't jibe. This was a terribly time for me. But, I know it was right for Jonathon. He needs a place where there are rules that have to be followed. We were all so thrilled that he was able to go on a mission. He was there in New York for about two months and had to come home to handle a situation that wasn't taken care of before. He is a most special young man and would have been a great missionary. To have him come home under these circumstances was devastating. However, he seemed fine about it all. I could see that his living here as he has for the last year and a half was not doing him the good he needs. There are no rules for him to follow here..only his own. Mark and Julie Peterson offered to have him come live with them and thier large family. They are wonderful people and will teach Jon about responsibility to a home and family. Mark is a perfect example of how a man should live. I hope he picks up on that.

I spent two weeks at the ranch, coming home for my art class, giving he and his Mom time to figure things out. I came home a day earlier than I planned and got pretty upset when I got her and nothing was done. I am sorry that I lost my temper and said some pretty mean things to them. Things have been pretty strained still. I hope things will get back to normal soon.

We cleaned out the trailer that Jon was sleeping in this past year the past three days. He had alot of stuff in there. Dillon and family is coming today and they are going to use it as another bedroom for them while at their folks. They will be staying a couple of weeks, I think and Brandi and Zacary are there too making it a bit crowded.

We are excited to have Nick and family coming tomorrow. I hope all will go well there and Nick will be able to see those of the family that he is looking forward to seeing. Wanda's family won't be here till next weekend. That is sad. I did so want Gabe and Parker to be here. Parker and Ellie hit it off so great last time they were here.

My garden is looking good. The deer like it too.
