Ginny has been working in Knoxville the past city old weeks and my Sunday dinners have been much quieter as she typically invites people to join us. I’ve told Aubree to do the same but she’s more reluctant or just doesn’t. 

Will is starting to mature some. His Boyce is changing abc he seems to be a little less temperamental. The other day he was just randomly laying in the yard and as I peaked out the window, I couldn’t help but think how much I love him. 

Jake was able to give the three younger kids Father’s blessing before school this year. He gives the most beautiful blessings. You can feel his love and the love of Heavenly Father when he gives them. I’m still in awe that I’ve been blessed with such a phenomenal husband. I am hoping the school year is better with Will and that he takes more ownership for his work and does it well. I worry greatly for him. I do feel that more regular temple attendance and my asking Heavenly Father to allow my Mamaw and Papaw to be with me have helped me become more patient with him and not raise my voice. However, I do get sad many days thinking I have failed him and hurt his self-confidence. It also makes me sad that I’m not sure he wants to serve a mission or can. I question his desire because he’s been told about his hygiene and doctors have told him how to fix other issues (insulin resistant (just last month) and night issued by multiple doctors) but he seems to brush it off. Sometimes I think he’s trying but when reminded, he still does it goes to fast food and tried to hide it from us. How I wish I was better for him or knew better ways to encourage.
