Not much of an update but here it goes.
John was "denied" entrance into BYU. I've cried, he got depressed-its been hard news to understand. BYU-Idaho put him on the very track when he will be sending in mission papers so that didn't work out either--you know the routine, I cried, he got depressed. Plans are to attend FSU in fall. John will turn 19 on Dec. 29 and hopefully put in mission papers---if not--- I'll cry and be extremely depressed.
Nicholas is smiling with a cap in place---looks much better. He took the ACT and did ok but if he would just study a bit he could improve. He has had his BSA Eagle Court of Honor and recieved his Eagle badge. I'm sooo proud of his achievement!!!!!He has alot of great skills. He will do well in life as he matures and testimony strengthens.
Madison is busy with teenager activities. Friends, texting, computer and every now and then cleans her room. Pre-Algebra grade is improving. Anxiously awaiting YW girls camp and turning 14 in late October.
Marriage is hard. I cry, I get depressed.

Aunt Gretchen, I am so sorry things aren't working out for John. But the Lord has his hand in all things, so maybe later you will see that it was for the best! Your kids are getting so big. I was just thinking of when we use to stay-the-night with you and go garage selling in Derby Woods. I want to go this summer. I will be home for about a month and a half! I can't believe Maddie will is a teenager! Peyton was asking me about her the other day and is excited to see her! See ya soon! Love ya lots!
