Big Changes!

For those of you that haven't heard, as of August 24th Ardis Academy will be closed for the year. Yes, the Ardis kids will be going to public school for this year. I can't believe I am really saying that, but it is true. My reds are excited about the new adventure, but Bryce has very mixed feelings. He has some fond memories of when he went to school before, but his main problem (besides he doesn't do well with change) is that they don't play enough in school. He is toooooo funny! My main concern is that Bryce has consistantly tested a year behind. When I pulled him out of public school 1 1/2 years ago (he was in 1st grade) he tested like he was in kindergarden. They tested him yesterday and he test like someone going into 2nd grade (which he should be a 3rd grader). SOOOO after much prayer I have decided that I am going to have them put him in 2nd grade. I don't want him to start out, back in school, wayyyyy behind.

So, you are probably asking WHY are they going back to school. Good question! It isn't because I gave up, hated it, etc. It is because after MUCH prayer, fasting & going to the Temple Bryan and I felt like I really needed to help out at the clinic, during school hours. The office is really getting busy, which is good, but we aren't at a point (because of how much it cost to move a clinic & start over) to hire someone to help him out. And since I know his business better than anyone & I come cheap (haha) I am the only option right now.
So, for now the Ardis kids are going to public school. WOW! Pretty crazy, I really never thought they would go, but sometimes things happen different than you plan.
I have worked a few days this week & it was pretty fun. Kinda nice being able to work with your best friend - the man that I love!
Well, I don't know what else to say. Except I will keep you posted on our new adventure!
Lots of love!
