I
wonder how long it will take until I fill this book? It's already holding 1980, 1981, and
1982. It's been 3 months since I've
written. We had a very nice
Christmas. Amanda is now 3 months shy of
3 years old, and Zac is almost a year and a half. I quit Browning on October 31, 1982, and have
tended a few kids since then. Rog and I
had a talk the other night, and I'm gonna start taking some college courses
next semester (Spring Quarter), Winter Quarter just started. Hopefully, someday I can become a nurse. That has been my dream ever since I had
Ambure. She would have been 5 years old
soon (March 8th, 1983) and should have started Kindergarten next year. It's hard to believe. We put a little Christmas tree up on her
grave this year. Amanda and I decorated
it ourselves. It was done with
love. Saturday we are going to look at
some bunkbeds for the kids. LuAnn's
friend at work is selling them for $90.00, and they come with mattresses and
all. They have the drawers underneath
for storage also. Rog is over playing
church ball now. We didn't go because
his game was at 9:00 p.m. He also plays
Recreation ball on Monday's, and he has been asked to play in the Alumni game
next month. I got him some new shoes and
shorts so he really looks spiffy. In
November, Amanda's urine had traces of sugar.
We got the last check of that today, and it was clear.

Today
I am 22 years old. It's hard believing
that I've been married since I was 16.
Our 6 year anniversary will be this July. In the Spring Quarter at Weber State College,
I'm going to start taking some classes.
I'm going to try and get my generals out of the way, and then when Zac
and Amanda get in school, I'll go after my nursing degree. In 1987, Zac will be in Kindergarten, and
Amanda in 2nd grade. So in 1988, they'll
both be full-time in school. 5 years
from September. That's a long time, but
I'll keep this goal in mind.
(I
ended up taking classes Spring Quarter 1983, and then was all signed up for
Fall Quarter, but couldn't go because we didn't have enough money for
registration. Never did finish my college education)
