Blake and Laura

Blake is in the Elder's quorum presidency and is really enjoying his calling and the people he works with there. He'll be taking his A+ certification test in the next few weeks so he's been spending all of his spare time studying for that. He is still loading trucks for his dad in the mornings and working at the 55+ apartments 3 nights a week. They're going to add on another day to his schedule in a couple weeks though which will make us eligible for health insurance. This job has been a huge blessing for us and he loves that it gives him a quiet place to study too! I am keeping busy with the kids and just got called to be a ward missionary. I'm starting school in December and should hopefully have my bachelors finished this time next year! I'm excited and scared to be back in school but I think this will be a good decision for me and it will be nice to finally have it done! I've been in school off and on since fall of 2003 so it's been a long time coming. I'm getting this degree in accounting and the plan is to do some small business accounting from home until the kids are all in school and eventually to do the accounting for Blake when he starts his computer company. Plus it will be nice knowing that if something ever did happen to Blake I would have something to fall back on to support the family. In other news, we're getting excited for Thanksgiving! My family is coming next weekend for our Thanksgiving celebration so I'm getting excited for hosting that and then we'll do the Pedersen party Thanksgiving day and the Walker feast the day after! We have an awesome family so we're pretty excited to see everyone and this is my favorite holiday and time of year so I'm excited for it to finally cool down!
