Hello, I figured it is about time to update my blog! We have had a busy month trying to get ready for Christmas. I am done with another semester of school, I PASSED MY MATH CLASS!!!! Halelujah. We have had some life changing experiences this month, My best friends dad passed away and it was difficult he was my second dad growing up. I realized that life is short and her mom told me to cherish every moment which made me realize that I needed to be with my family as much as possible. I decided to not go to school anymore, so that I could spend time with the family and not be gone so much, I then decided to just take some online classes just to keep the momentum going, which gives me the opportunity to take care of my Husband, and children, and still get an education. I don't know how long we will have together as a family on this earth. We are also planning a vacation to Disneyland in April so that we can take fun family trip together before Jaren is no longer able to travel. I am so thankful for everything we have learned from our experiences, I can not say that I am thankful for the disease we are faceing but I am thankful for the things in my life that we have learned because of this disease!! I am so thankful for all the support from everyone. I could not face this alone.

I made a collage of our Family Pictures that were taken this year!!

When I figure out how to add all of my pictures I will!!

Family Pictures

We had a chance to get family pictures done. It was a lot of FUN!! They turned out really good. Thanks Mat for you talents and patience.

Jaren is still working part-time when he can. I am enjoying my job at Seaman-Leavitt Insurance.

This job has been a blessing for me, I am able to work when I can as long as I get my hours in for the week. I need the flexibility for all the doctors visits we get to make.

Halloween was really fun. (I am not good with taking pictures so I don't have any halloween pics) We are hoping to get a digital camera for christmas so we can keep up with pictures better.

Fall quarter is almost over yeah!! I feel like I am doing pretty well this quarter I guess we will see in 2 weeks when grades come out!

Braxton LOVES preschool. It is a nice 2 hour break for me also but, my oldest has that day off of work but it is nice to have 2 hours to spend with Jaren. The girls really enjoy school too. Ashlyn had kind of a rough start but she is doing a lot better.

Hello,
I thought I would sit down and finally catch up on my blog. We have had some ups and downs these past few months. Jaren is doing as good as can be expected I guess, The disease has been attacking the brain stem.

I guess it is time to set up my own blog site for our family. Jaren and Jamie have been married for 10 years, we have 3 children RaKelle who is 9. Ashlyn who is 7. Braxton is 4. Jaren was diagnosed with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD for short). We are busy with life and many doctors visits. I work 2 part-time jobs and go to school 3 nights a week, Jaren works at Reams part-time, and tries to watch the kids while I am at school. I hope I can figure this blog stuff out. I don't have a lot of time so I probably won't keep up with it very good.
