Boy it has been a long time since I last wrote. Not much has gone on. Still trekking along doing homeschool, and enjoying working in young women at church. I am still so very proud of my son who has overcome with heavenly fathers help any challenges he has. I wish I could be as strong and sweet as you, Philip. Enough for today will continue to write though.

You went to Bob McDonnels inauguration and had a great time. Still need to put up your pictures. Been really busy with church which I really love being busy with. Later I will post the pictures.

I love you my son. You bore your testimony today and it was great. You're quite a speaker. Also, I admire your honesty in all things. You are great.

Started the new year off fantastic. Got back in touch with Joanne. What a blessing. I love her so much, and really have missed her. Just remember that heavenly father knows who and what we need in our lives. Happy New Year to everyone, especially you boo.

Had a wonderful Christmas. I really do wish the spirit of christmas was felt every day. The only thing that I do not like is the rushing and getting impatient that takes place. But I know that also I was being taught to slow down and take time for what really matters, like you. Love you Philip.

Been really busy making Christmas gifts this month. I feel that homemade gifts are much better because you take the time out to make them, and we all know time is precious. Love you my son.

I am so proud of my son. He went to the republican meeting in Williamsburg, Va. this weekend and accepted on behalf of the city of Colonial Heights an award for the city with the most republican votes in recent election. Way to go Philip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
