Groneman Family

I guess I can use the blog again now that we are not all together anymore. I miss the clean air of Utah, and the cooler weather, but it is nice to back with my husband again. I am still able to eat and I'm very pleased with how well I'm doing. I assume that I will get my IV out of my arm soon. I started classes at the local community college on tuesday night (Statistics) and I was amazed at how dumpy that school is. I guess I'm just used to Utah and LDS schools. I honestly didn't know that a college could be so dumpy. Oh well. This morning while I was trying to wake up my sleeping husband I noticed a tag on the pillow he was sleeping on that said "Daily Routine Care: fluff pillow daily to maintain plumpness". I'll have to remember to put that on my daily To-do list : ) good thing they have instructions for these things!!

Please keep Jacob in your prayers today. He is very sick and having a hard time breathing. I took him in this morning and he was given steroids, but if he doesn't start doing better he'll end up in the hospital.

The withdrawals are still pretty intense...having my family around is really addicting. I am wondering how Chad is liking his new place and if Cambrie is keeping her dinner down still in her old place, and if she got her classes changed...and if Benjamin impressed the socks off his mom by wooing in the potty two days in a row. (For those of you, not in the privilaged information category, it is a fact that Benjamin not only wooed, but told CK yessterday that he wanted to! Today I called to congratulate him on his accomplishment. I said to him, "So are you going to woo in the potty again today?" Benjamin (thoughtfully) said, "Maybe someday...." I'm not sure CK's prayers have been answered yet. I started a BYU Continuing Ed. Geneology class today. I sat next to LaDawn Jacob...she wrote a book I read and re read 25 years ago. I admire her, so that was fun. It looks like it is going to be a great class. I am trying to bottle peaches with about 1/2 as mu...

Two cute moments from yesterday: Brigham was getting dressed up in his suit for a picture he needed to have taken for his application when Benjamin walked in, looked at him and said, "You look too cute in that, Dad!" At dinner, Benjamin announced that he was a missionary-- not Benjamin. We'd had the missionaries over for dinner last week, so I was curious to see what Benjamin had learned. I asked him what missionaries do, and he said, "Get invited for dinner, eat birthday cake, and sometimes teach a lesson." So now you know!

The party is almost over. Chad moved to his new apartment on Saturday and a cured and healthy Cambrie leaves to rejoin her husband in ( hot/polluted/crowded) California this afternoon. It was great to almost feel like a family again. With Christa's visit, Cambrie and Steve, Chad moved in, etc. it was a great couple of weeks. Playing games and watching movies with my kids....yea! Too bad we couldn't have had Brigham & boys drop in too. (Of course, with work & school, Brett & Buff were kind of scarce, but they did drop in a couple of times.) THANKS GUYS! Now it's back to an almost empty house.

Our computer is working again!!! Hallelujah!!! It's good to be back in contact with the rest of the universe. Thanks for the birthday wishes for Jacob! He had a pretty good little party-- we'll have to put some pictures up soon. It's good to hear news from ya'll again!

JACOB !! Well, on saturday when I'll probably be at the mountain...but I'll be thinking of you little one!
