I’ve come to
grips. If I don’t update this blog now, I may never do it at all. So to start:
We made it through
the end of the fall semester, I got A’s and 1 B. Grant got off Academic
Probation. We did it!
After that, we
headed across the country to Woodbridge, Virginia. We started at 4 am and got
there finished at 5 pm. (with a 2 hour time difference). After that day, we
were adjusting to the time difference and got to bed late. To spare you the
details, we went to church in Grant’s home ward for three weeks in a row, We
had an absolute blast!!! We spend lots of time with Sadie (the beloved puppy)
and Mom. The girls went out for pedicures one afternoon.
Brag: My new
younger siblings are amazing! Sarah has the most amazing breaststroke I’ve ever
seen and is super creative. Dallin can swim BETTER than a fish. Aaron can speak
French like a pro! We got to watch a swim practive for each of them. The one
for the boys was early in the morning. I made it through about a half hour and
then slept. Grant made it all the way through. It was way cool. Grant also got
to go swimming with Dallin one day and did pretty well.
We spent all of
Christmas Day, besides church, opening Christmas presents. The Rackham family
has a tradition of each child opening one gift at a time and taking turns.
Needless to say, with 12 of us, it took a while. It was way fun though.
Christmas break was
super busy and crazy so I miss my family TOO much. We played Laser Quest,
played Mario Super smash brothers, and Mario kart. We did puzzles and made
pizzas. It was jammed packed and we loved.
We are so grateful
for the opportunity to spend 2 weeks with family. We Love You Rackham’s
