Our FHE Lesson: Hope
We showed the kids the video "A Mother's Hope" on mormonchannel.org Then we talked about Hope more in depth for Bo and I.
I had always understood Hope with "A hint of uncertainty" (Neil A Maxwell) I had always felt it was things like: I hope this snow stops or I hope this day gets better. But apparently it has a different meaning in the gospel: "When we have Hope, we trust God's promises. We have a quiet assurance that if we do 'the works of righteousness,' we 'shall receive our reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.'" (Neil A Maxwell)
This made me feel good because it made me realize I do have hope. I know that God will keep His promises if I keep mine. It also renewed my vigor to try harder because I know wonderful things await me if I do what's right.

Fort Wayne Children's Zoo (Where we were for 4 1/2 hrs today :)
This Giraffe was in petting distance!!!
Cute babes :)
They let the peacocks just wander around the park!!!
Laneah brushing a goat. One came out of nowhere and sniffed her, then bit her hair and pulled it out! She looked at him and ran out of the pen so fast XD
Rhychie brushing a goat.
This zoo is voted as Indiana's #1 zoo! We got to walk AMONGST the kangaroos! We went on a carousel ride, a log ride, a train ride, and you can also ride a sky safari and little ponies! Just an absolute fun place to be!

Connections Acadmey
Bo and I have never wanted to send our kids to regular public school. We had initially wanted to fully homeschool them but after homeschooling Laneah's preschool, I see how much work it takes and it will only get harder! So we found this free online public school that a lady I visit teach works for! Here is a link to the website if you are interested :)

Updatessssssss
The kids and I were supposed to leave for Indiana to join Bo this past Saturday. But because of the wonderful woman I was serving with for Girls Camp, she said family is more important and said I could leave early if I wanted to! So we did, the kids and I made a 2 day journey to SURPRISE Bo a week and a half ago :) That was a long drive...
I am so amazed at how well my kiddos have done with this trip. Rhychie had some screaming fits on the drive here, but he is 19 months, totally expected. But they did really well on the drive and sleeping in hotels and did just fine adjusting to our temporary apartment here in Fort Wayne. They go to bed and sleep just like back home in Wyoming :)
Bo is doing WONDERFULLY! He has received MANY compliments on how well he is doing! His boss has even said, if everything goes well, Bo may have a job with this company :)
We went to our ward for the first time today. My oh my is this ward wonderful! So much kindness!
We go to the mall every weekend just to walk around and let the kids ride the double decker carousel and eat while we are there :) We even enjoy a little bit of shopping :)
I was raised in cities, so it is SO nice to be in a city again! We love the interstate driving! I love how much higher the speed limits are! :P We love the choices of restaurants here that Laramie does not have: Long John Silvers, Panda Express, Steak N Shake, etc.
We are really hoping this is where God has our future set :)

AAAAHHHHH!!!!! :) :) :)
Great things for us seem to always drop into our laps! Bo and me meeting and marrying came out of nowhere. Us getting moved into better apartments came out of nowhere. So did this latest thing...
Bo was calling different firms to find a job for after he graduates. Well, he came across one that was not hiring for then but were looking for interns now! They remembered Bo from February when he called them about internships then (They were not taking them then) but they were now! They were only taking 1 person! After Bo's webcam interview, they had to interview one more person. 2 hours after Bo's interview, he said Bo had the internship!!!! We will be spending our summer in Fort Wayne, Indiana!!!! Bo will be leaving this weekend cause his first day is June 2. The kids and I will be joining him 2 weeks later immediately after Girls Camp :) Oh life is good!!! :)
