I'm so far behind in posting here, I almost feel as if I should just start over... but that would unfortunately erase all of my previous posts. There weren't many but they were still things I want to remember. So it is now A new year. 2014! The year started off shaky. We had three family members die within the first three weeks and it was definitely a sad time in this household. But we've held strong and we are not going to let it ruin the rest of the year. I've made my super long list of New Year resolutions and although most of them are long term goals I can honestly say that I really have been keeping up with quite a few of them and have real intentions of fulfilling the long term ones as well.
       We are still in wonderful Roundup, Montana, (I say that with only partial sarcasm). It still sucks being so far away from family but the longer we are here, the more the place grows on us and it really does feel like a home to us now. My amazing sister and her family have moved about 1700 miles closer to us and honestly I couldn't be more excited (unless she was another 600 miles closer).
       We've added another beautiful addition to our family. The perfect Saydie Cleo Hatch! She is our little ray of sunshine and she makes our world go round. She is nearing 1 year old now and time has flown by so fast! Its so sad to see my kids grow up.
       We are still trying the homeschool route and although I am terrified that I will be the worst teacher ever and screw up my kids education, it is the most amazing thing to see them learn and know that i had a part in it. Also hearing more and more things everyday that have gone wrong or that i done approve of in the school system now days i'm more grateful than ever that we decided to give homeschooling a chance.
     The last year has been fairly eventful for us and we have made some great friends and amazing memories. Hopefully this year will hold even more in store for us!!
