March ALREADY???????

Happy New Year! Happy Valentines Day! Happy St. Patricks Day! Happy Easter next Week! WOW! What happened to life.  Lets see if I can catch up on my life. Spring is trying to decide whether to come or not so we have 50 degree weather one day and then snow the next and then back to 50 degree weather.  This is happening weekly.  Yesterday was snow again and today blue sky and warming up.

Leigh decided that he really missed one of the girls he was dating while we were gone on our cruise for Christmas so started dating her exclusively and is now engaged and Leigh will marry Ali Wright on May 15th in the Jordan River Temple in West Jordan Utah.  He is also working on his general education classes at BYU and leaning towards going into Accounting.  He has good genes for it.

Sarah, after struggling with Calculas and Statics in Engineering has decided that taking classes that she loathed and struggled to even get a C grade from in order to hopefully get to work as an engineer in an office like her dad was not worth the pain. Her counselor agreed.  She is changing her major to something she actually does love and that is Early Childhood Education.  She has to finish all of her GE credits before starting the program where the Engineering program had you do them all the way along so she has at least 2 more semesters to finish those up before she can start the core Education classes but she is much happier being out of Calculas.  She has been a great help tending her cousins Dillon and Julianne.

Marie is loving life, dancing and singing. She will be in the school play "Thouroughly Modern Millie". She is in the ensamble and learning to dance the Lindie and other dances and is loving it.  She has try-outs today for the madrigal group Encore at Lehi High School which if chosen she will be in all of her Senior year.  She has already tried out for Musical Theater and Accapella and gotten into those classes.

Brian is playing chess at school and doing scouting activities as well.  He is looking forward to full spring so that he can start riding his bike more and wants to learn to play tennis this summer he thinks.

Warren bought me a new toy in the fall, a lovely orange tractor. Boy has it been great in the snow removal department for us and alot of our neighbors and I can wait to start using it to spread some sandy dirt we got for free to cover up my last layer of rocks so that we can finally lay sod this spring over to the side of my house behind the garden.  YEAH!!!

I am busy teaching CPR classes at work and working nursing shifts and trying to keep up with my knitting loom orders which are on the increase this year.  It looks like people are starting to need to make gifts again instead of buy them all. 

I am also taking an oil painting class and have had alot of fun so far with it. 

The funnest thing going on is that two of my siblings are moving out to Eagle Mountain with me.  I won't be the lone person clear out here, but now there will be three of us.  Kevin & Katrina are coming from Kansas this summer and are buying a house about a mile straight across the highway from me. Kristy & Jason will be moving this summer also and will be about 2 miles the other direction from me in a great home for them.  Life is going to be great between Katrina's dessert baking craze and Kristy's whole food and homemade cooking craze, I will get to learn to make all kinds of good stuff, and if I cant make it, I GET TO TASTE THEIRS.

Life is great.  Love to you all.

Cindy and the rest of the Clyde Clan.
