TOFW


Ok for you who don't know TOFW means Time Out For Women! Oh what fun. The last two years I have gone with the four women you see in the picture. They are Rachel, Marilee, Denise and Carly. The little addition this year is Dalany (Rachel's little bundle of joy). The best description of TOFW is EFY for adults. We had great music and great speakers. This year on Friday night we heard from Chiko Okizaki (or how ever you spell her name) and heard a group that preformed from the Trek and Joseph CD all done by Jason Deere. I love it Mormon country music it is my new favorite CD and I have spent the last few days listening to it all day. Saturday was great also with Sherry Call singing (also one of my favor its) and other great speakers.

But I will have to admit that the high light of the weekend is the evenings spent with friends. When people as me how was my weekend I say great, we ate to much, slept to little and laughed until we had headaches. So over all it was GREAT!!!!! There is nothing better then friends that don't care what you ware, look like , say or eat and eat and eat. They are just four of the angles in my life. I have to many angles to name them all but lets just say I am blessed.

Wright family up date

Well it finally happened after looking for several months Chris has a new job. He is working for A1 Coupling and Hose. Though it is not his fantasy job it will fill in the gaps for our family the people are nice and he is learning quickly.
The rest of us are doing fine. The kids are all back in school and busy as ever. Emily is about to open in a musical"your a good man Charlie Brown". She is going to be Lucy. Which seems to fit her very well. She is making finale decisions about colleges. Life is changing quickly for Her.

Nathan is loving high school, I think. He is in the band and plays at all the home football games. He also is getting into theater. He tried out for his first play this week. He got a small part but this was his first try and as a freshmen he has lots of time. We all knew he would be an actor or politician????

Jaxon is in middle school and is fitting in there well. He is very proud that he has B+ and A's in all his classes right now. He works hard and is doing well. He is playing the the beginning band, which is not his favorite thing but Mom's are so mean he has to give it a try at least.

Chance is in the third grade. He seems to be liking this grade and is getting to be a really good reader. As always he loves his games and has even got Dad playing xbox with him on weekends. Dad tries to pretend it is torture but it must not be all bad.

As for me well lets see, work, kids, husband, church. That pretty much says it all. Someone asked me recently what I did if I had free time, after I quite laughing I said, take a nap!! Life is busy but we are very blessed. We love hearing from friends and family and we hope you enjoy our updates.
