What a year it has been for the Wilsons. I am typing all this, but George is going to fix my issues. LOL, so here goes.
We started oFf this year in Louisiana thinking we needed to get a move on. After lots of talking and thinking and searching we found Butler University. So last March, George came to Indianapolis to look at Butler and see what may come. We came back in June to look at house and finally had one the first of July when we moved in. I just want to say we will miss our family there in Baton Rouge so much....but this is where we needed to be. It has been amazing. Everything is so different.
Sterling is a senior at Carmel High. He is doing good and is busy taking ACT's and driving this week (finally). And he is dating a little bit.
Savannah is a freshman at Carmel and is makeing leaps and bounds on improvement. We are so proud of her. She is just a beauty. French seems to be her favorite subject by far, and she walks around the house translating and answering everything in French.
Eli is busy with 2nd grade and is trying his best to hang on. He is loving scouts and learning all kinds of things. He has almost finished his wolf badge. He's very excited to be playing baseball this spring, and we've almost got him convinced that football is a good idea next fall. If there was ever a child built to play offensive line, it's Eli.
George is the Scout Committee Chairman at the church despite the fact that he was never a scout and doesn't seem to know anything about it. He loves work at Butler. I'm having a hard time convincing him to skip work these days. It's kind of strange, but in a good way. :)
I am doing good. Learning what it means to be a Cub Scout den leader. George and the kids call me Mama Bear since I'm the Bear leader. I don't care much for the moniker, but it amuses them. I am learning patience for sure, which I'm told is a good thing. The house still has some boxes here and there, well, maybe more than just "some". I want to get them all done by my birthday in March, but I had planned on having them done by Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas. If at first you don't succeed...
We are loving the weather. We never thought that a couple of people from the deep south would love winter weather in the Midwest. I just wish we had more snow. :) Hope you are all well.
