Hello, well all Im not on facebook any longer. . So if I don't reply you will understand on it. :) Rich is working starting 6pm to 6am coming in October. He is doing well. We are going to a wedding in October in napa valley. Fun. Can't wait to spend time with him. Christian just passed his blue belt in ty kwon do. Fun day, Aunt Bonnie, Alilia, and my mom came with Uncle Rick and Jess. How sweet it was to see my kids feel the support. Justin even came with a friend. After Christians testing we all went to Red Robin for dinner. McKenzie decided to stay home because she wasn't feeling well. School is going ok for her, she struggles because she doesn't know anyone. Poor thing. I really wasn't much impressed with High school for the same reason. On the other hand Max is loving High School. LOL Christian decided that he would like to try to learn to play a violin this year so he's going to give that a whirl. Justin just called to tell me he was hired on to become a knife engraver. Excited for him, I know he will do well at whatever he sets his mind too. He's from 8pm to 4am, he's getting off the same time as daddy Rich. I told him daddy rich can hang out on their off time. lol.
Work is going great for me. I keep praying to stay busy. We started Alpha as a family Thursday nights. Life is going good. My walk with the Lord is going good. I'm going to start a bible study class soon. I miss it. I am learning a lot about Adult hood and trying to learn how to communicate. It's hard when feelings get hurt and seeing how me and others respond. Its hard learning everyday but its good. My kids ask me questions why some act in some ways. I just tell them we are all learning to have Jesus's heart. Forgiveness I have learned about a lot this year. Thank you Uncle Peter for your talks. I love them. It only took 4 years. lol. Now I'm learning about people reactions thru my daughters heartache. My daughter and I are doing amazing. Also with my kids reading the blog and how we all relate to one another. I have learned she is a little me. lol. And I love it. I would just ask one thing. Please don't assume someone has mental health problems (unless your in the doctors office and heard it first hand), nor thinking you understand the relationship thru the hard-times with condemnation and criticize and understand its not gossip if you are taking about your feeling about a situation you are in. Ask if this person needs support, maybe not understanding full story, and giving them understanding during their time of pain. I have called and not emailed when I needed explanations. I'm slow I know. lol. I have heard that email, or texting is the worst way to communicate if its a serious situation. :)
Life is so short and I bet people don't know how I felt if I died tomorrow. I am very deep and passionate. And I have always told my kids the joke it when people go to funerals and never called that person in the last 5 years. I love all my family. But I know some don't know what to do with me. lol. And I'm good. That is why I take my time reading this blog and enjoying all the words. I feel connected to you all. I love the reunions and my kids love them. lets post postive fun blogs of our memories. It will make all of us smile. :) Here I go. And please forgive me if i have hurt anyone feelings.

wow, Lureia. thanks for the updates. The Miller family is one busy family.
Christian taking up the violin. that really is impressing. that is something i have wanted to do in the past.
Im glad that Justin and Rich will be able to soend more time together.
As for facebook. I find it very in-personable. (i think thats the right term to use). its good for finding people, in my opinion. If it wasnt for FB i would not have the communication with my daughter that i have.
Hey, you going to be in NAPA? julie lives there, and Glenda is there most weekends. If you have time you should try to get together with them. Im 2 hours away and i could try to make an effort to see you guys.
Your Mom IS a very strong woman, and i think, no im sure thats where you get it. :) And from what little time i have gotten to spend with her, a hoot.
Ya HIGH SCHOOL SUCKED, and i knew everyone that was in my freshman class. After all i did go to school with the same people since the 3rd grade. Just remind Mckensie that its 4 years. And a time to make new friends.
I always enjoy reading your and the kids post on the blogg. WHERES RICH :P Sounds like hes a busy man and a fine provider. Good for both of you.
What a nice post. I am so proud of your kids and so impressed how loving they are to Rick and I. We had so much fun the other night with you guys. And yes Rich is such a good provider and a very kind person. Rick and I love reconnecting with all our family out here and look forward to making more great memories.

Thank you Aunt Bonnie hugs :)Rich is kind but I have made him more thoughtful. lol. He never talks to his family. lol. ;) inside joke with him and I.
Lueria,
Behind your strong side there's a deep, thoughtful, intuitive, caring. and loving person. You have a great family and a great extended family. It sounds like you have made some good memories with famly which makes a precedent for future good memories. You'll never regret having spent time with your kids.
You're doing great.
Darn it, cant get away on a weekday. oh well
This was a sweet post. You certainly have inherited your mom's positive attitude. Amen to what Jim says about family times and memories. But ya know, this is a real strong point in our family; our kids/grandkids are a huge priority with us. Near as I can tell, though some of us might have missed it ourselves growing up, unconditional love is what makes it all work in the end. Keep it up. PnK
Lueria, you and Rich and the kids bring Jim & I a lot of joy. I send you love, and warmest wishes. Can't wait to spend time with you again. Keep the updates coming. You never cease to amaze and inspire me.
we might be able to do weekend. just wont know till the week of . if we have the kids. I will call you. hugs. love you all.
i just relized the weekend before wont work either. chucks nephew is going camping that weekend. He watches chuck on sunday, while i do what ever.
Ben and I loved spending time with you too. We were so glad that you had found someone who was as strong as you and you just seemed to "click". We watched you grow, as much as we were able, and then watched you again in Teresa. You 2 could have been twins growing up. I wish we could see you more. May when you come down, I could meet you in Redding for a visit. I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday and every other Monday. Or even in Mt. Shasta. I know Teresa would like to see you. I still go up there every week. Usually Wednesday night come home Thursday afternoon. I Love you guys. Glas things are going well.
And now we see the pattern of face and personality repeating in Athena.
Would love to see you whenever the opportunity comes. McCloud is a great town, really ought to come see it. Lots of history here and awesome hiking.
