It has been a blessed and eventful year for the Beeson family. We have moved twice and finally ended up back home in Meridian, ID where Lance and I grew up. It is sooooo nice to be back too! We love it! I am so happy at my new job at Saint Luke's Health system in Boise, ID. It is very much like my old job at the other Saint Luke's in Kansas City that i loved (and still wish sometimes i had never left!). Everyone here is so nice and helpful, I feel like a valued member of a great team instead of some one's scut monkey intern (like I was treated at Kadlec hospital in Richland, WA)and it has been such a welcome change!!
Lance got back into coaching at Kuna High School with a friend from MNU if you can believe it! They didn't have a very good season (1-8) but he had a good time back in charge of the offense as the OC (offense coordinator) despite their frustrations. he thinks they might have another long year next year but anticipates a good group of kids coming along in a couple of years.
The boys have been busy since the move as well. RJ is in second grade with a male teacher (who he loves, he even wrote a paper about how he wanted to change his name to Armando, his teacher's name! So cute!). Jack is in preschool and had a Christmas program the other day singing Christmas songs, it was so cute! I will try and place that video on facebook. he is going 3 days a week and getting ready for Kindergarten next year. Trey's adoption was finalized right before the move, but we still have to go to L.A. to the Thai Embassy to check off one last piece of paper (and spend another $2000!) then its a circumscison (another $5000) and we should be done with all the adoption costs and be back on a level playing field I hope (where we just have college tuition to look forward to!). He is learning to go poopy in the potty which keeps him and daddy quite busy! He has also learned to speak English much quicker than the other two boys (probably because he has to yell at his big brothers!)
The Lord has truly blessed us all so much, we couldn't be more thankful for our three little beautiful boys, our wonderful families, my good job and all our friends. Thank you all for being a part of our lives and we wish you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful, blessed new year!!
