Jordan and Hannah

Well Jordan has had two games so far and it's sad to say but not a win yet. Mark has gotten to go to both of them and says that he did see improvement. I hope they will get a win soon. She is really liking volleyball. We have also been able to keep up with Hannah too. Hannah was recommended by her PE teacher to be in cross-country so she is doing that. Also she was elected to be in a group of kids that a professor from the private college takes and teaches art to. She is doing that too! They are both becoming very active within their schools. So at least they aren't bored all the time. Mark and I are glad that they are active but we sure miss them both. Both children seem to be doing great right now and that is the best gift of all. As for me and Mark, I'm doing the college thing and doing good in school. I have either B's or A's so I'm excited about that. I'm just starting to get over my cold but unfortunately Mark has got it now. Other than that Mark is doing good. He can't wait for winter break so that we can get the kids. Neither can I for that matter and I won't have school either which is a plus. Well that's pretty much all for now. ttyl. Love you all

Some updating

For those who don't know Hannah has left this state and moved to Maine. We haven't got to hear from her yet but she is definitely on our minds. Mark and I are already missing her terribly as I'm sure Jordan is too. Jordan is so busy with school and now sports too that we haven't got to talk to her much. Mark and I are kind of have an empty nest for now at least. I guess that comes with age though. We do know that Jordan has made the volleyball team and is really excited about that. Also Hannah will start school on Tuesday and I hope that she makes lots of friends and loves it up there.
I have started school again too. I'm swamped with homework and work. I also switched shifts so that I can be more focused on school. I work now mostly in the evenings. I am liking the switch I just wish my body would switch to where I could sleep at nights again. I'm getting so tired. So far school is going good other than the being tired part.
Mark is working here and there. He is still applying for higher paying jobs in hopes that I won't have to work as much and so I can focus more on school. He is doing good other than dealing with Hannah leaving and Jordan being so busy that she hasn't been able to come down and see us.

Summer Update

Well summer is in full swing. We are all having a blast so far. Jordan is a certified baby sitter and is making some money this summer. Hannah has a busy summer between our visits and going on vacation and camp she is hoping. Hannah had a blast at camp last week. She showed Mark and I some of the skits, sang us some songs, and even taught us some games that she learned there. Next fall Jordan plans on participating in cheer leading, volleyball, basketball and track. She will be one busy girl next year. Jordan will be the big bad eighth grader too!!
My summer is about to get busier for a little bit. I have two weddings I'm in this summer which just both happen to be in the same weekend. Between work and weddings and then preparing for the fall semester my summer is pretty booked. I will hopefully get my vacation that I asked for in July, by then I will need some R&R time.
Mark's summer consists of working, spending time with the kids and keeping up with me and the stuff I'm doing. He will be running just as much as I am. Poor guy. Maybe he can get some R&R too!! Well that's about all for now. With Love, The Wilson's

A Year? Already?!

So Mark and I survived a year of marriage already. It had its ups and downs but we made it. They say the first year is the hardest. We ate our cake and yes it was still tasted as good as when we had it at the wedding. We went out to eat and then just hung out at the house. It was a good anniversary.

Jordan is starting track which is exciting. She is excited just to be participating in a sport. She wants to play basketball and volleyball too next year. Her first track meet is April 16th at Macpherson starting at 3 if anyone wants to be there. I think Mark and I are going to go. I will be sure to take pictures of our track star in the making. I will have to let you all know about future track meets when we know whether she is varsity or junior varsity.

Hannah is doing great and staying busy. It seems like she is always selling something either for school or for girl scouts, but its okay there is always money there to support her and Jordan. She is seeing a movie on friday with her class. She seems really excited for that. She has done so well with Lent this year. She gave up chocolate and has somehow managed to not eat much if any at all. So since we have her this weekend and it happens to be Easter we got her some of her favorite chocolate.

I'm still working on school and working full time. We just had someone quit so I'm picking up a few hours here and there. School is picking up and gearing up for the end of the semester and that means that I have to really start buckling down so I don't fall behind. Not much going on with me so I will move on.

Mark is doing well too. He hurt his back a little while ago and missed some work but he is back feeling good and is working again. He is picking up some hours to help with what he missed. He is of course helping around the house since I'm picking up some hours too. I really appreciate him doing a little more to help me out. He is such a good husband. He can't wait to see and spend time with the girls. It's so sweet and funny at the same time. I think he is just as excited as the girls are. Well I better get back to homework or housework. Just thought I would update everyone. Talk to ya all soon hopefully. Love ya everyone.

Back to school!!

Hello everyone,
School is getting ready to start back up again. It's almost sad. However I will be graduating with an AA degree. It's nothing big but it is a degree, I guess. Jordan and Hannah have already started back and are, like usual, doing great. Mark is working and taking care of me, for the most part. I'm excited for my birthday in less than a week. I will be a legal adult in every definition of the word legal. YAY!!!
As this is my last week as a twenty year old I have been thinking a lot about the past years and I want everyone to know that I really appreciate family and friends. Before I hadn't understood how much you depend on family and friends to make it through the good and bad times, especially the bad. I just want to express how much I have come to realize that I miss family more, appreciate family more, and care about family and friends more. I couldn't have made it through some of the events during these last twenty years without family and friends. I just can't thank you all enough for all your support, guidance, direction and patience. I now understand fully how much family and friends are the world to me and that they will always be that way. Thanks for everything, everyone. With love The Wilson's.
