I let a little bit of time go by since my last post and everything changed on me so that I couldn't figure out how to post anything. Darn technology. I hope I am in the right place now even though everything looks different. I guess we'll see. The fact that I am writing anything now is a testament to my new and ridiculously boring life. Here's a little (ha! with the size of my family?) update on the goings on of the Moores.
Brandon is a history teacher at San Marcos Middle School. He loves it. He is also a seminary teacher for the freshmen. Loves that too. Lots of teaching. You can see why he doesn't feel the need to get married and have kids of his own because he has a couple hundred kids already. They absolutely love him. They hang out in his classroom at lunchtime because he is so nice and funny. He really is very funny:)
KYLE GOT MARRIED!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!! After waiting for eternity (and for his missionary) he finally married the love of his life, Aubrie Fillmore, who has fine tuned her name down to just "Moore". Another local girl (yeah baby) who is beautiful, talented, friendly, spiritual (mission) trustworthy, brave, clean and reverent (mom of scouts? maybe). In short, we love her. They are currently on an internship for physical therapy in North Carolina and will be heading shortly to Louisiana for his final internship. They have been seeing the whole country since they drove there and are having a blast. I miss them.
Tanner and Alana had another beautiful baby girl in April named Sienna Marie. Tanner enrolled in medical school and they moved to Oakland. While I am quite proud of Tanner for this decision I am nonetheless in deep mourning that they have moved so far away. I miss my little Ava Lynn like crazy. She is 3 now and a brilliant little redhead who can sing and dance like no other. She calls me Grandma Moores because whenever they would come over to my house Alana would say, "We are going over to Grandma Moore's". See? Brilliant.
Logan and Michelle are pregnant with a little girl due in February but who could arrive next month given Michelle's history and they have kidnapped my favorite grandson and taken him to St. Louis, Missouri for Logan's physical therapy internship. Do you see a pattern developing here? Everyone has left grandma:( Thus, the reason I have so much time to blog now. Landon calls me "Money". No one knows where it came from or why he does it but that is my name.
Jensen got married 3 minutes after he stepped off the plane from his mission. Tracy Franz, a darling girl in our ward who he's known for years just suddenly caught his eye and four months after he got home he married her and they are now at BYU where he is working for NuSkin and she is working at Macy's as a make-up consultant. She is a wonderful addition to our family and we love her. If you have been keeping track you will note that I am now 4 for 4 in the marrying local girls department. Booyah!!! Of course that isn't helping me right now as all four of these couples and, more importantly, their children, are all gone!!
And to round out the "Let's Desert Dyanna Club", my youngest son, Hunter, just up and left on a mission. The nerve! He's been gone for 8 months to the Columbus, Ohio mission. He's loving it and I'm missing him.
Thank heavens for Savannah! She is still with me and I love her to pieces. She is the light of my life. She is the most wonderful teenage girl in the world. She has no flaws or short-comings and brings me such joy that I thank my Heavenly Father every day for her presence in my life. She is on the varsity tennis team and in student government. She stays very busy but still makes time for her lonely mom.
Pat is in the stake presidency of our church and so he stays quite busy. He has also lost all of his work helpers (to all ends of the earth) so he has to do it all by himself and summer is his busiest time.
I am trying to find things to keep me busy which, unfortunately, tends to make Pat busier as I start household projects and then lack the know-how or tools to finish them and turn to him:) I need to go to Van's tennis match now so I will try to figure out how to actually get this up on the screen so someone can read it. TTFN (how cool am I to actually know what that means?)
