So, it has been a long while since I have blogged. My job got real busy and I just never made time for the blog anymore, but my daughter wanted to start her own blog; so I decided to pick it back up.
A lot has happened since my last post the summer of 2017. I have moved places in my administrative role. I was working for Mid Ohio Educational Service Center as a Special Education Preschool Coordinator. I moved to Ontario Local Schools to do the same position and to act a their Assistant Principal as well. It is a long story for the work journey, that I will post about later.
The family has made a lot of changes over these past couple of years...
October 2018 Kayla and Sterling got engaged.
So from that time until the wedding most of 2018 and 2019 were spent wedding planning.
On Friday, April 19, 2019 our baby girl got sealed in the Columbus, Ohio Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am so proud of her.
It's nice having a Southern gentleman in our family.
At Kayla's wedding she told her older brother that he needed to have a girlfriend to bring home at Christmas.
This is one of my favorite pictures from the North Carolina reception. It was truly fitting. I left my daughter 8 hours away, not to be in her childhood home again, except to visit on occasion. Needless, to say, we have put over 20,000 miles on our car this year visiting the children who are spread out from Minnesota to North Carolina. It's an adjustment having an empty nest (at least in the beginning.)
So, Dakota took Kayla up on her challenge to bring a girlfriend home for Christmas. We met Erica Johnson for the first time this past week. However, we talked to her a lot on the phone with Dakota for the last several months. Dakota decided girlfriend, wasn't a good enough title for Erica.
So Erica went home a fiancé. So just like that we gained a son-in-law in 2019, and are expecting a daughter-in-law in 2020.
The family is growing. We couldn't be happier.
