NE dreams coming true!

This week many of our dreams are coming true!  I got a greenhouse (I included this not-so-great pic for all of the visual people) for only $20 (gave up on the outdoor/window ones), we are getting a fence after 9 years of being in this house (to protect our privacy & food from being stolen & keeping kids safe), and Josh is graduating from school & seminary.   I won't tell you my other personal dreams because I already know I'm weird, but I am crossing my fingers for Mother's Day.

Hope everyone got their graduation announcements.  I have a brother & sister coming this weekend for it, which is really nice and surprising.  We are having a party at our house (other plans fell through) so pray that we'll get our house in order for Joshua's sake - he's a little nervous about it.  We're well aware of our failings but hope to remedy them.  Sounds like this is a big weekend for all of us.  Blog some pix from all the events.  We'll be there in spirit.   

Joshua's last day of school & seminary is this Weds - he's not really ready for it, he said.  Probably can't believe it's happening.  You know how you wait & wait for something to happen, then it finally does and then you say "Now what?"  He plans on getting a job now that Nathan will let him & going to Iowa Western in Council Bluffs, IA, this fall.  He's not ready to talk seriously about a mission because he has a lot to experience before then & he gets annoyed when people say "It doesn't matter to you because you'll be gone next year" because he's here now.  We have an Institute social for graduating seniors in 2 weeks & there's a weekly class for prospective elders in our stake - not sure if he's ready for that, either.  Seminary graduation is in 2 weeks; Nathan will probably be teaching again this summer as well as the regular year - no rest for the weary.  

Gotta go make Joshua's party invites for his friends.  Have a good, even if busy, week!  Love, Shauna
