In a Nutshell

Wow, it has been ages since I last put a post up on here. So I will have to do the quick and dirty version of the last nine months. So for starters, obviously, school ended and so did my middle school career, about time. In June we had Youth Conference, which was really fun, even though we didn't go to all of it. Because we had the same week a Forsyth Family Reunion here in Texas. Which was great because we only had to drive 15 minutes to get there! So we all went to a park, and then went to Schlitterbahn for a day. And then that night, Jasmin got engaged to, her now husband, Ryan Sloan. And while here, Maria announced to us that she and Steve are expecting their second child! That was a very exciting and busy week for all of us!

Nothing too much happened during the summer part of this year, besides what I just mentioned and me having Summer School. Then in August, Jazzy and Ryan got married in the San Antonio, Texas Temple on August 13, 2011. It was a beautiful day, and everything was great. Now the newlyweds live in Virginia so that Ryan can still go to school there at SVU. (Because Jazzy already beat him in graduating, so he's trying to catch up!) And when Nephi and Kirsten were here, they too announced that they were expecting their first child! So we have two new babies coming into our family, both in February 2012! We are all very excited.

Now, school has begun for all of us here at home. With Dad doing his Doctorate, Mom in her Nursing Program, Gideon in his Senior year, and me in my Freshman year. And every single one of us are going to different schools. Gid has already begun looking into colleges and plans to go into Engineering, since that is what he is doing at High School anyways. He's really quite good at it, and even got first in state for a thing (I don't know exactly what it is) that he designed and created. I believe that his top two schools that he is looking into are Texas A&M and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dad is doing his dissertation for his doctorate, and is working very hard in all that he does. Mom has continued on with her nursing program at SAC, and loves it. And I, go to NESA, (Northeast School of the Arts) for Musical Theater. I love it here, and this year, we're doing the musicals Les Miserables, Into the Woods, and The Tempest.

And that my friends, is our family in a nutshell.

An extremely, compact, nutshell.
