News from far away

The Good News...

Matt wrote an article that got picked up on two different sites as the best fitness article of the week!  He is doing so great in his career!!  So proud of him and so happy for him.  He has a ton of knowledge about fitness and nutrition and he is an excellent writer, so put those two together and you got success!

Carb Cycling for Fat Loss: 3 Ways to Use Old School Dieting to Get Shredded — Matt Dustin, Roman Fitness Systems

The Bad News...

Jacob has been sick with the flu since Wednesday and now it has turned into a double ear infection.  These are the days that a mom just wants to grab the keys and drive down to the college and be there to get everything he needs and take care of him!  So hard to be so far away when someone is under the weather.  Praying for Jacob today!  He has a very critical semester ahead of him and this is lousy timing.  Take care of yourself Jacob!

Accomplishments

 In the last week or so, Hannah got her amazing business cards that she designed!

And Danny started a class to get his real estate license

And Jacob got issued his Airman Battle Uniform!

Hannah, every night... (post I found from years ago never posted)

So many nights, I open the door to Hannah's room, peek my head around the corner, and this is EXACTLY what I see.  She is either doing a game on her DS, or scrolling through Pinterest on her phone.  Or texting her brother in the next room.  Love it.

Final Days (old post from years ago that never got posted)

Matt made it here for a few days over Christmas.  I was a happy mama!

So Star Wars happened this winter - and Hannah did some art to go along with it.

This is literally the view I had for almost two weeks.  Jacob and Hannah sat at the island on their computers playing computer games.  It. Was. Awesome.
