Catching up

So Carson got a motorcycle yesterday, and he is like a little boy with a shiny new toy. Anyways, I am kind of so-so on the subject, I know it makes him happy but at the same time I have the thoughts in the back of my head of motorcycle accidents. He is however required by the Marine Corp to take the course before he can get his endorsement and actually ride the thing around, so that is good, I am also requiring that he take the intermmediate class when he is eligible for that. Beyond that we are doing good, we chopped down 3 trees in our yard last weekend and one more this weekend, then ground out the stumps with a stump grinder. So that brings us up to a total of 6 trees chopped down since we moved in a year ago, not to mention the 8 little pine trees we dug out for Trevor. I know what you are thinking, man that is a lot of trees, and to think we still have 6 more trees to go. And they are not small trees either, 2 more big pine trees, and 3 more big locust trees, and a pear tree. Did I mention that we only live on like a quarter acre lot in Richland... Anywho, school is going good for both of us, Carson has one final tomorrow then he is done for the semester, and I am just into the second month of the quarter. It is going good and I am really looking forward to externship in the summer.

On another very important note, my sister Tara and her husband Jason have been trying to get pregnant for about five years now and haven't been able to. Last year they began the process of adoption through the LDS adoption agency. Tara and Jason are amazing people and are really great with our nieces and nephews and would love to have children of their own, so if anyone out there reads this and knows of anyone who might be considering giving their baby to a loving family please have them go to this website http://www.beta.itsaboutlove.org/ and look under Washington state for their profile (Jason and Tara). Hopefully we will have a facebook account for them as well so look for that in the near future on this blog. Thank you so much!
