New Year

Well obviously this part of the Greever clan is not
all that great in blogging, but we will try to update
here more often. The Christmas season was full of
blessing of seeing both sides of the family! We are
thankful for the time we get to spend with our family.


Joshua is preparing for another semester of study and
he is looking forward to it! I have noticed recently
that all Joshua seems to be doing is reading! I was
teasing him about how at any point during the day I
could ask what he is doing and he would be reading! I
am thankful though that he is enoying his reading for
school and learning more about the Lord.

I am persevering in working as a nurse on the oncolgy
floor and I'm preparing to have surgery on my foot
this coming Feb. I am looking forward to my mom
coming to help out while I get back on my feet!

We enjoyed the beauty of some snow fall this morning.
It stopped before it amounted to anything, but it was
pretty to watch the flakes swirl to the ground! It
was a fun day to curl up with a good book too!
(Although all Joshua is getting to read is for school!
I get to pick fun books to read now that I am not in
school!) I just finished reading two books by Thomas
Hardy, The Mayor of Casterbridge and Far from the
Madding Crowd. Both tragic but beautiful. I enjoyed
them. I think I will take a break from fiction though
and pick something more serious, I haven't quite
decided yet.

One of our neighbors is pregnant with twins! and I
have been talking resently with her about cloth
diapering. It seems that there are quite a few
seminary folks who have decided to use cloth
diapering. It makes sense beause it saves so much
money and does not lead to even more waste in
landfills! I have been investigating on how difficult
it would be to make some cloth diapers...There is a
group of ladies that meet on Monday night to sew so I
think I'll aks some of them if they have any
experience in this area. I went to this group last
week to get some help fixing a dress that I had made
and we got to talking about quilts. I have about 3
quilt tops that my Grandma, who passed away before I
was born, had made. My grandparents just gave them to
me this year and I had not really thought about them
until I mentioned it to the ladies at the sewing
group. They said they would love to help me finsh
them. So now all I have to do is save some money and
go pick out cloth for the bottom part of the quilts!

Well until next time!
