Great NEWS!!!!!!!!!!
Josh came in this weekend to get his car and see everyone. He is turning 21 today! He arrived early Saturday morning and will left last night. He is doing well in school making a 90 on one of his last tests! But that is not the big news, I'm just teasing you all. Josh proposed to Monica today. He did it in the most romantic places - the parking lot of Dixie Cafe! He did get down on one knee and produced a beautiful ring! Of course he went to ask her dad for permission first. He was so nervous! They weren't home and he had to wait on them. I think it added to his nervousness. Monica's dad gave his blessing but wants her to finish school as do we. They are talking about waiting 2 years for her to accomplish that. Monica said yes and we are glad to welcome her to the family!
Jana and her family came in this weekend to work. We worked some on Friday night and then most of the day on Saturday. It is very draining emotionally. We are going through things to find the items we don't think need to be sold. So much we don't want to sell, but don't know what to do with either. We like the stuff that is just stuff - that's easy! We have gone through pictures, bibles, books (mom loved her books), old letters, etc. It is not an easy task to say the least. We are wiped out after just a few hours.
Tonight Jana, Brad and Emily went to see his parents. We enjoyed their company. Emily is so cute. She is growing so fast. She says "mama" now which makes Jana happy! She is trying to figure out crawling too. She still likes to reach though. She has not figured out to push with her legs yet, but it won't be long. She reaches so far she flips over onto her back! TOO CUTE!
Anna and Brian were here too. It is great for me to have the house full. Mom would be so happy to have everyone together. That was one of her very favorite things. It is becoming one of mine. Once again there is food, laughter, and lots of talking. My family does this too but somehow it still seems quit empty in the house. Maybe it is because we continue to live in the back of the house and when everyone is here it fills up. Maybe it is because we are used to the house being full when we were all together and there was so much activity and love then. Anyway, it was really good to see all my sibs this weekend!

Angie,
I am so excited to be a part of your family. I love the fact that I'll be an aunt to 8+ neices and nephews, and that I gain TONS more family members!
Love,
Monica
