Porter-isms

It is red ribbon week at school this week. Monday, Porter comes home from Kindergarten and excitedly tells me "mom, we're doing free drugs at school." I think he meant to say something about being drug free but it is so much more interesting the way he said it.

Other words Porter has coined for us are:
"Snackrament" for Sacrament
"Bathtism" for Baptism
and mom is dad's "life" for wife

So glad I married him!

Do you ever look back on your life and have regrets? One thing that I never regret is having married Jason. He is wonderful. I've had the stomach flu over the weekend and he took care of me and the boys too. We think alike. I don't know if it's a "time being married" thing or just us but often I will pick up the phone to call him and it rings in my hand and he's there.

He's working so hard to keep our family solvent while Hyrum is getting the treatment he needs. I'm so proud of him. While he is teaching two classes at LDS business college at night, he prepares for taking additional sections of the CPA exam in November. He also teaches an adult education class at the local high school. He's doing so well at his full time IRS job too. He's been selected to write next year's continuing education materials for the IRS agents in the western region. (he wouldn't like me telling that so pretend that you don't know, he never reads the blog anyway) He runs full speed all week long and then on the week-ends runs right into the train wreck that is our home life. His regret is that he can't spend more time with us and he vows that he will never again teach so many classes in one semester. He's a good man who still finds time to study the scriptures and pray. I married someone up to the challenge of life and I'm ever grateful that I did.
