It's so hard to believe--Joshua graduated last Friday! I'm having a hard time getting my mind around the fact that I'll be homeschooling just one child this fall. By the time we start the new school year, I suppose I'll have comprehended it!
Graduation was nicely done. The homeschooling convention which hosts it always makes the graduation a memorable occasion for the families of graduates and those who attend the convention. We were so glad that we some of our extended family was able to be here. Thanks to those of you who came! Joshua was really glad you were here! I actually didn't break down as much as I did with Heather...well, not while we were on the stage with Joshua anyway.
Saturday we had not one, but two track meets. There were junior high and senior high medal meets at different schools here. Joshua and Hannah placed in several events each and Hannah again had a personal best in high jump! She cleared 4'8"! Grandma and Grandpa L. were able to stay for the meets, so they saw Hannah use her long legs to sail over the bar. We missed a lot of Joshua's meet, but we saw him run the 400m dash to win a silver medal.
Today we spent some time outside planting some flowers that Mom brought to me. After pulling out a bunch of rocks, Joshua had to get a bucket of dirt so that we had something in which to plant the flowers. Then we needed a place to put all those rocks that we'd dug up, so we started throwing them in a hole that was from an uprooted tree during construction. Hannah's dog, Logan, thought we were throwing away his treasures, so he tried and tried to pick up the rocks that we tossed in. We finally finished the flower bed by planting an old-fashioned rose, some lily-of-the-valley, and a few wildflowers that Hannah dug in the woods. Since we let the goats wander freely at times to graze, and the dogs don't understand that the freshly dug dirt is not for them, we fenced the bed in hopes of actually having the flowers there for more than a few hours!
Tomorrow there is a forecast for rain, so I suppose I'll have to actually do some of the inside work that I really don't want to do. I'd rather be outside digging in the dirt!

Here we go...
Since Heather has officially turned the blog over to me, I suppose I ought to do something with it. Life is a little wild, but I'll try to post here once in a while.
This week is especially crazy. Baseball practice, track practice, cleaning the 20-plus years of trash on our land, planting the garden...and those are just some of the normal weekly tasks. In addition to that this week, we also have three track meets, the annual home school conference and Joshua's high school graduation!
What has happened since Heather last posted here? Indoor soccer season ended, baseball practice has begun, and track season came flying at us. Joshua and Hannah have had several track meets and have done well at each. Joshua is in a 4x100 relay and they have placed 1st at each meet. Hannah's 4x100 relay has also done very well. Joshua has only competed once in the triple jump (his favorite track event) because the track where we have many of our meets was reconstructing the sand pit. Also, the track meet held on Saturday ended early due to a severe thunderstorm and Joshua had not been able to make it to the sand pit yet. Hannah has had a great season so far with high jump. She has placed 1st or 2nd at each meet--in two of the meets she was competing against high school girls. Saturday she not only won the gold medal, she jumped a personal best of 4'6"! She jumped the same height as the girl who won the high school division. Heather is enjoying helping with high jump again this year. She is really good at encouraging the high jumpers and helping them improve. We've even roped in Justin to help at track meets a few times! He helped with discus at a very cold, rainy meet and with high jump at a couple of meets.
We're slowly cleaning up our land of all the trash that's been dumped here for years and years. The kids and I worked on several piles last week and found all sorts of things. One thing we found was an old wood stove--too bad it wasn't usable! Tim cut down quite a few trees north of the barn so that we can fence in an area for the goats.
The weather is turning warmer slowly. I'm ready for lots of sunshine and temperatures in the 80s! We planted some of the garden two weeks ago, and we've had lots of rain, so we're seeing some green in the very rocky soil of our garden. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm and sunny, so I'm now heading to bed so that I can enjoy it!

Over-stuffed Brain
A week later, my brain still feels like it could melt when I think about the writer's conference. So here's a "shortened" version of my trip.
Tuesday, Mom and I left about 11:30 am. We got to my grandparents that afternoon, stayed overnight with them, and drove all the way across Kansas to Goodland Wednesday. FYI, you people who think Kansas is FLAT...are only partly right! The eastern half of Kansas is pretty much like Missouri (yes, Mocha, except for the place you live...that's the only place in Missouri that imitates western Kansas). The difference is that Kansas roads are flat and straight; they cut through the hills instead of going around or over them! :0)
So, Thursday we only had a short 3 hour drive to Colorado Springs. Once in Colorado Springs, we had some time to kill so we drove around for a bit. I admit, I've never stayed at a 5 star hotel/resort before and felt kind of like a hick because I couldn't stop staring at everything. The main lobby had an enormous "Italian staircase" that was probably ten feet wide and had thick marble steps and handrails...yeah, pretty fancy for a country girl like me! The beds in our rooms were so tall that if I sat on the edge, my feet couldn't touch the ground (OK, everyone, stop laughing!).
Friday and Saturday I went to Brandilyn Collins' Fiction 101 class where we leaned how to put desire, emotion, conflict, and kick into our books. This helped me a lot, especially the desire and emotion part. I also got her book, Getting Into Character which teaches seven secrets actors use to make their characters come alive that us fiction writers can use.
In the afternoon on Friday, I attended Jerry Jenkins and Andy Scheer's Wordiologist session, teaching us how to edit fiction. I picked up a couple of useful ideas from that. Saturday afternoon, I went to Brandilyn Collins' Fiction First page Clinic, where she taught us how to snag readers in the first page. She says that for browsers in a bookstore, it takes 30-60 seconds to grab their attention with a book. They read the back cover...if that's interesting, maybe they'll open it and read the first sntence...if that's interesting, maybe they'll read the first page...if they like that, they'll buy your book. 30-60 seconds...all you have to make a sale. So you have to grab their attention with the first page (publishers generally take care of the back cover). That was very helpful.
Then of course we had mealtime speakers and editor appointments. Editor appointments were soooo cool! Two editors are interested in a book proposal once I'm done with my editing (try a year or so) plus my mentor has offered to help me figure out the whole marketing thing once my book is published. I'm excited!! I really, really liked all the advice and helpfulness from everyone I met with. Definitely helped me see editors in a different light. Imagine sitting and listening to peoples' spiels for two days and not being interested except in one or two! It'd drive me up the wall!
Lunch and dinner every night were ridiculous...two course for lunch and three course for dinner. Fancy table setting where you had three different forks (work from the outisde in, I found out!) and so much stuff around your place setting I didn't feel like I had any room to manuever. Every time I reached for my glass I cringed, expecting to knock something over.
I missed Justin like crazy...so bad some nights all I wanted to do was curl up and cry. Or leave and go home. Especially Friday and Saturday. Sunday wasn't so bad....I was heading home. All week I just had to think, "I'll see him Tuesday on the way home." That was amazing!! I loved seeing him so much. He'd been trying to talk Mom and Grandma into going up on Pike's Peak (Mom nixed it pretty quickly) and so I told him "OK, I'll go up Pike's Peak with you." And I bought him a Pike's Peak hoodie, which is very warm and fuzzy so I think I might steal it. :0)
So....I learned a lot, stuffed my brain full, and am now still trying to recover. Today is the first day that my mind has worked properly since. :0) But I'm very excited! Except that I just found out I have to work outside today instead of being free to write like I thought, bummer. :0(
Josh is at Teen Pact this week so maybe the next post I'll talk him into writing. If not then I'll let y'all know how his week went.
TTYL!

Ho hum...what a boring life is mine.
NOT!
So I'm thinking about starting up a writing blog for myself, and turning this blog over to my mom. Well, first I have to teach her how to do it! Should be fun, since she's not really a techy person at all...unlike Josh, who two days ago figured out how to Bluetooth stuff from my phone to his without ever doing it before (and it took him, like 20 seconds to figure it out). Oh yeah, I got a new phone!! The old phone is now Josh and Hannah's, and my phone is a cool LG that is bright green, and has a really good background pic (Justin and me) and has stupid ringtones...
Well, other than that, I've been busy doing a whole lotta nothing. Orchestra started back up again and is, I guess, in full swing. I now sit in the sanctuary for three hours every morning, working on my computer. Then I eat lunch with Mary, Joy, and Liz, have the weekly "writer's conference" with Mary, and talk to a bunch of random people until 2:30, which is when Justin arrives back from school for the weekend. I kid you not, Friday and Saturday have always been my favorite days but having him back makes them even better!
Saturday and Sunday we usually do some stuff with friends, but last Saturday, Valentine's Day...wow! Whole new meaning to that holiday now! Justin had a "surprise" planned for me that day...everyone knew what was going on except me! He and Mom were awful Friday night, they wouldn't stop teasing me. :0) Anyway, he took me ice-skating. And Dad let us hold hands (up to this point we haven't been allowed to do so). He spoiled us, but it was great! And despite apprehensions to the contrary, Justin and I didn't fall a single time! Then we went to dinner a Hemingways, the restaurant on the top floor of Bass Pro. Ummmm...good food! And it was nice to sit and talk with Justin, it was our first time to be sitting really and truly by ourselves at a restaurant.
Let's see, what else...oh, for movie lovers, you've got to go see (or rent) The Tale of Despereaux. It's about a mouse who won't cower, won't scurry, and is a gentleman who likes to rescue fair princesses. It's cute, really. It's a animated kid's movie but I loved it! No bad humor, no language...the only thing I would say about it is that it could be pretty scary for younger kids. I mean, he's a mouse...so he gets captured by rats, gets chased by a cat, down in Ratworld there are a lot of bones, some of them human-looking (its in the dungeon)...and one character (I can't figure out if he's mouse or rat) is blind and looks rather creepy. But, go see it, seriously. It's a good movie about chivalry and honor with a couple of non-typical heroes (besides the mouse Despereaux, there's Roscuro the rat, who was my favorite character).
For book-lovers, if you're into Christian suspense, you have to read Ted Dekker's latest, Kiss. It sounds like a weird title but it's really good. He co-wrote it with his editor, Erin Healy, and the publisher came up with a really cool brand for them: Heart Pounding Meets Heart Warming. (For those who don't know what a publishing brand is, it's a phrase such as Dekker's that is original to that particular author(s). Brandilyn Collin's "Seatbelt Suspense" is another example). Sorry, I can't help but throw in writing stuff anymore! :0) Anyway, read Kiss. It's a good book and hearkens back to the old Ted Dekker (like Blink, Thr3e, etc).
On my writing, not much going on lately. I haven't been working on Roliwyn, have worked a bit on editing TSC, and....I'm going to the Writing For the Soul conference in Colorado!!! Yay! *bells and whistles*. I'll get to meet my writing coach, schedule some meeting with editors (hopefully my book proposal will be in enough order that I can get them interested) and take a ton of classes! First, though I probably need to pack and to get business cards printed out....ick....I'v tried printing business cards once before and it didn't turn out so well....something tells me that the day will go downhill very quickly once I try to print them.
The worst part of the whole deal is that I miss a weekend with Justin. I hate being away from him, and that its a weekend will make it even worse! Mom has said though that we'll go to Columbia on our way home and see him. So I do have that to look forward to, yay!
Well, I think that's all for now! I'll post sometime after the conference, maybe on the way home since I'll want something to do while staring out the window at boring west Kansas! Oh yes, and Justin let us borrow his GPS, so I'll be sure to let y'all know how Mom gets along with it... :0) I'll probably get a phone call in the middle of a class: "Heather, how does this thing work?"
Anyway, feel free to email or call me and ask me how its going! We're leaving tomorrow, the conference starts Thursday, ends Sunday, and we'll get home next Tuesday.
Oh, and hop over to the h2o blog, there's a discussion about the meaning of "friend" going on right now.
TTYL!

Our first meal in the new house.
Thank you, everyone who helped us! It was so muc fun!
Today is the one-year anniversary of our family moving into the farm house! Yay! In honor of this momentous occasion, I've decided to post the "moving blog" that y'all heard about so much early last year but, surprise surprise, I never actually got posted. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the long-awaited post about our moving day!
***
Saturday, January 19th 2008, we were up early and ready by the time the moving crew came. Three families were at our house in town at nine o’clock. I’d thought we’d gotten a lot packed already, but the moms tore into the packing with a fury while us kids and the dads hauled boxes. Lots and lots of boxes. We ran out of boxes about halfway through the day and I went dumpster-diving with some others behind a Dollar General for good boxes. Liz was actually the only one who got in the dumpster.Unfortunately we have no photos from that adventure. Enjoy the rest of these pictures, though.
Dad heading to the house
Mrs S and Josh the "pack rat"
Mom & Dad's room minus bed and nightstands
OK, so now where do we fit this stuff? (from left Wyatt, Lisa, Uriah, and Alex M)
Loading the S's GMC. We made two trips from the house in town to the farmhouse. The first time, we used a big truck, two trailers, two GMCs, our car, and two minivans. One the second time we used Owen C’s car plus all of the above. It was amazing how much we got done. We basically stripped the upstairs of everything but the kids’ bedframes and the bookshelves in Mom & Dad’s room and afew things in the kitchen.

Who else but Hannah?
Bunch of kids loading stuff
Guys loading the entertainment center. Wow, I don't envy them that job!
Movin' out with the truck and trailer!
OK, now I know there's room for just one more tiny thing. (Kristin S)
Taking a break for a minute. At this time, we’d just finished moving the last load of the night in. We did it in the dark, tripping over rocks, on the coldest night in the year (I kid you not!) Everyone was frozen, adding in the fact that our house didn’t yet have the geothermal hooked up (we were running on our “back-up emergency” system that we ended up running on for five weeks).
