Hey Traci!!  I have been thinking of you alot also...  It has been really weird not having you close by to go see or talk with.  All has been pretty well, Boyd is going to be traveling to Washington for a job soon.  They keep moving the date up on him so in the mean time he has not been working.  One week off so far.  I do believe that this is going to kill us.  Not really, but it sure feels that way sometimes.  It definitley is taking a toll on my psyche.  I just miss you so much.  I have been feeling very alone and without any friendships since you have been gone .  Anyhow,  the kids are doing good.  We took them to a monster jam show, with the big trucks, and it was so funny.  Kalen was so serious and Braedon wanted to know when it was going to be over.  I will email you the pics.  We had the school request that Braedon be tested for ADD/ADHD and I explained where they could shove it. .  So I will not be sending him to their summer school because when I had initially spoken with his teacher I had specifically said that I was not interested in that type of testing.  I had told her I only wanted to test him for learning style and possible dyslexia.  So the fact that they were unable to maintain such clear boundaries proved to me that they are not mentally capable of giving Braedon the extra attention that he is needing.  So I have done some research and found a program called HeadSprout.  It is approved through the no child left behind act and is used extensively in the HomeSchooling network.  We will see.  I know that I will end up feeling frustrated because it can seem impossible to get him to cooperate with me.  Which brings me to what you had discussed.  Even though your words are identicle to the thoughts that run through my head every day, I just want you to know that I believe that you are capable of more than you believe.  I believe in you and what your capabilities..  You are bright, caring, and unafraid to express yourself.  We may not be perfect Traci but damnit we try and most importantly we are the first to admit when we have made a mistake.  So okay, your message caught me on an emotional day.  I have been feeling like crying for a week straight now.  I think that it has finally hit home that my only and dearest friend is hundreds of miles away from me.  I have to admit I had hoped to work, play, laugh, cry, share, and grow old drinking lattes by day and wine by night with you on our big front porch in the country.  Anyhow, enough of my day dreams.  I will try to get motivated about getting signed into facebook.  So I hope to talk with you soon.  Emily
