Sam Hunt Family Update 5/23/08
I have not updated you on our family for awhile, so here it goes...
It has been 11 weeks since my second surgery. I haven't felt this good in such a long time. I am back to being - me! We are grateful that this trial is over! :)
We have 2 1/2 more weeks of school. (We get out on June 13th.) Sam is at State Track in Yakima, and should return home Saturday evening. He will be all done with coaching until this fall. (Whew!) We have Monday and Tuesday off of school and we hope to get some yard work done. The next few weeks will be busy, as the boys each wrap up their baseball season (between the boys there have been 40 games plus practices!) and Sam and I wrap up the school year.
The kids begin swim lessons on Monday, June 14th. There is a new community center here in Federal Way and the lessons will be there. We have never done morning lessons so this will be interesting. I think I will like the idea of 10 sessions in a row, instead of 10 sessions spread over 5 weeks. (Two a week in the evenings.) We signed up for sessions in June and end of July/early August. I am sure by the end of each session I will be more than ready to have them over. :) Caden and Whitney are in the same swin level and luckily, they have a class for Jesse's level at the same time so we will be there from 9-9:30 Monday through Friday. Sam will be there for a couple of the days but then he begins teaching Summer School on
June 17th.
Sam is teaching two Summer Schools this year - at a school and online. He hasn't taught online for a few years, but he wanted to this year. He should be done with both summer schools on Aug. 11th. We plan to leave for Utah on the afternoon of the 11th, if it all works out. We have to be back by August 17th because I go back to work on the 18th. I will work a little this summer - basically to get the Special Education Summer School started during the week of June 23rd, but then I plan to take all of July off.
The kids would prefer to spend the summer swimming, camping, and playing with their webkinz. We ordered a Wii fit - we will see if anyone likes it. :) I am sure some of the summer will be spent playing with the Wii. I would like to paint the high traffic areas of the house this summer. However, that will depend on how hot it gets. We do not have air conditioning because we really don't need it all that often. But, I wish I would have had it last Saturday. The temp. got up to 95 degrees and we were miserable! I hope we have a nice, warm summer but not a hot summer! Sam came home from track and I told him I didn't care how much it cost, I wanted air conditioning. After living with me for nearly 11 years, he knew to say, "Okay." :) It has rained all week.... I don't think we will be signing up for air conditioning anytime soon. :)
We registered Whitney for kindergarten and attended the "Kindergarten Round Up." I think she is excited, but nervous at the same time. She is ready for preschool to be over and to spend some time at home with mom. She will go to Kindergarten all day. Our state recently passed a law that in the next 10 years all kindergarten students will go to kindergarten all day. (At no charge to the parents!!! Of course they would have this law go into effect AFTER all my kids have gone to all day kindergarten with us paying for them to do so!) Next year more than 1/4 of our district elementary buildings will have all their kindergarten students go all day. By 09-10 it sounds like nearly all, if not all, of the elementaries in our district will be all day for all students. Oh well.... :)
Well, I guess that is all about us for now. We are excited to see family this summer, although it will be short. We want to go to Disneyland and Lego Land, but are thinking that may have to happen this winter.
We hope everyone is doing well. We enjoy reading the blog. Take care, Julie

Last day of School
So I thought I would check in tomorrow is the last day of school and ready or not here it comes. Jon has been in Florida this week he flew out on Monday and will come back and fly in on Saturday at 2:35 so that will be nice to have him back. I am not sleeping very well and seem to be getting tired Ha Ha. Before he left he downloaded the skype software on mine and his bank laptop so that we could talk over the Internet. I have a camera but he does not so he can see us but we can't see him but we were able to talk and do family scripture study on FHE night. It has been really fun to be able to talk for so long. I was able to talk to him yesterday for about an hour also and he was able to tell the kids all hi when they got home from school. So our summer really does not last that long we start school again on Aug. 14th from what I have heard so maybe we can all make it being home together. We will have to do our park hopping and swimming and bike rides to keep us all busy. Kya is working for SUU food services so that should keep her pretty busy this summer as well with Youth Conference, a dance camp, and girls camp. Kira will be going to girls camp for her first time so I hope that she will like it. Other than that we are all just going to be having lots of fun right.

New Decisions
Well for now I think we have our mind a little more made up. I have been thinking long and hard about the whole what I am suppose to do with the next chapter of my life but I have been frustrated and kind of confused. The other day I had been pondering if I would take a job in Mount Pleasant if it was offered to me because I put in an application and my father in law said he would pull strings. So I felt that maybe I was directed in that way and also I feel in some ways that I should at least work a year so I am not putting my education to waste and such. All the same though we would have to move and Joe might not find a job up there and we are some what ready to move on to a new chapter in our lives as far as family and what not so that was in question too. Any way so I felt very over whelmed and I got to thinking about what I really wanted and....... it is to just get some other sort of job and wait for the time to come when we are ready to have children. So when we finally decided that we aren't going to take the job I felt a lot of relief. A good friend of mine said that in the eternal perspective Heavenly Father isn't going to not bless you for starting a family. It's not like he would rather me teach in the real scheme of things. Anyway I felt better about things and I realized that my education isn't at all wasted I have learned more than I could have any other way. It will help me as a mother and in life in general. So we are here in Cedar until plans change more. It is a lot nicer when we choose to take it one step at a time instead of worrying about everything all at once. Love ya all! Lea

The Next Chapter of Our Life!
So Joe and I are on the next chapter in our life. What that chapter is...........no one knows! It is a little scary thinking that we could choose the not so good path for our life but at the same time who is to say there is just one good path. If I don't know all my options then I guess I can't miss out on too much! But still it is a bit scary and frustrating. I guess that is when you just have to pray, fast and hope and trust in the Lord to know that he will guide you to where he thinks fits you best. I am just in a delay right now because....I have to be a responsible adult now. I just feel like my life has played itself out to this point. Things coming and going, making good decisions and bad decisions but never to where I regretted them they all seem to help me become the person I am today. But anyway it just felt like the path was laid out for me but now I am not to sure. I know that many of you have felt the same way as I have read your blogs and I do know that it all works out but the truth of the matter is it doesn't make it any easier. The hang up now is for one I do want to be a stay at home mom but before I become that of course it would help to have a baby to do that, but at the same time it would be nice to work for a year teaching to get insurance. But then at the same time it might be a good idea to just get another sort of job so we can start a family. Then it would also be nice to take a break for the summer. Then there is the question where to get a job if I do teach there aren't any jobs that are really that close so it would be a move away job. So do I really want to move? Then there is Joe we don't know exactly what he is going to do. So that is where we are at in the next chapter of our lives. It really is okay when I think about it though because in the real life it happens to everyone there is always that cross roads which helps us grow and learn and become more faithful! It will all work out!! Hope all is well! Lea
