I'm taking a shot at this

Welp, I hope this is how you post. I've learned that sometimes you just have to start clicking on things and eventually you can figure out how to use 'a computer' (thank you Charlotte). Anywho I have really enjoyed getting involved with all this blog stuff. I more frequently check them AND read the comments so keep up the good work everyone who participates, oh and thank you Tevia for being patient and not so patient with us old fogies in catching up with the 21st century or the "O's" as Quentin so elequently puts it. Right now we are getting ready for family to come up and bless Hjade on Sunday and then to watch the Super Bowl together.......great family activity....I just like to make goodies for such occasions so I will be totally in my element. TTFN!

Brandt is getting smrt

Brandt is going to school now. He is so smart! He went to church today and saw some peeps from high school. Yeah!!! Now he knows how to post a post on a blog. The end.

A New Post

Okay, So this blog is not all that up to date, but it hasn't been forgotten about all together. I will try and get mom and dad to be in charge of this one this year.

One thing really quick, I am not really sure how Allen Halls came across this blog, I am guessing through a myriad of other blogs he must have stumbled across it. No worries. Allen, you left a message on one of the post saying you were looking for Risa and myself. Well, first of all, there is a very very high probability that you won't find us on facebook as we do not subscribe to it. Risa can be reached via her blog, which you can link to from this blog, and I can be reached on this blog. I hope you are doing well.

Now, we shall see how I do at getting mom and dad to post on this blog. I will give them lessons again and hopefully they can take it over and getting it up and running on a regular basis.

Till then, ciao!

I seem to recall...

Hey family! I seem to recall suggesting that someone put some pixs of my cute pregnant sister-in-law on the family blog. I don't see that this has happened yet.
Come on family! I'm hours and hours and hours away from everyone! Please share the picgturey goodness!

In other news, I love ya all and hope all is going well. For further details in my life in Korea, please view my blog:-)
Cheers!!

First new old timer to post

Well, if my kids bug me enough I eventually will do this blogging thing. Even though I work at a computer all day I still am leery about messing around with something new on the old comp. Maybe in the next life I'll be a admittance person into one of the kingdoms, ha ha. Anyhooo I am hoping to be better about the going's on in my life etc..... TTFN, M

Week 5 of Korea

Hey fam-er-ly! Well, I have almost completed my 5 th week in Korea. I am still functioning, but also still looking for my groove, and missing it terribly. I still haven't invested the necessary time to make sure that I have edible food to eat, which means that I am scraping the bottom of my firdge and getting creative. Tonight I threw some chicken, tortilla chips, cherry tomatoes and pepper jack cheese together and called it a very good meal. I am still burping cherry tomatoes, and I think that's a good sign:-)

I have been desperately missing television since I have been here. I am not thrilled to be stuck with myself in my own brain. My brain wears me out. TV quiets it down for a while. It guess watching TV is my way of self medicating my internal dialog. (Since when is dialog not spelt with a u or an e?)

Any how, today was one of the better days in the week. Tuesdays and Thursdays are very easy going. I have 2 classes that I teach, a private class for 1 hour and a student class for a hour and a half. The private class is easy. The student is getting lessons as a personal favor to the owner of the school. He has fairly good comprehension and is compliant with doing the work book and stuff. I asked him today if he would be willing to start reading a book instead of just doing the exercises in the work book. His English is good enough to where he just needs to get used to using it correctly. I don't know yet what book I'm going to have him read, but I am excited that he's willing to read one. Something juvy lit, I think.
The student class has 2 students. There is a lot of poetntial for have some fun. The powers that be would like me to use the usual work book, but they would also like me to use anther book of some kind. I would really like to find some kind of science book or history book or cultural book that I can use to help emphasize what we're learning in the other book. I have to spend a lot of time doing this and I don't want to get bored any more than the students.

Well, I need to go to bed. I have to get up early and figure out what I'm going to do for most of my classes tomorrow. I don't have a lot of resources at work, or a lot of personal experience to help me fill in the 40 minutes per class with anything meaningful or interesting, but I am learning and I hope to get better as I go. I am hopeful for the morning. I have my alarm set for 7:00 am, I think I just might get up when it goes off, the first time.

I love all my fabulous family. Follow the course, fight the good fight, keep the faith.
Peace and love,
Risa

Where is Nephi's camping post???

Hey Nephi,
Still waiting for that post you were supposed to do about your camping trip with Naomi....

We would love to see pix and hear how it all went.

A Series to try out

Hi all you readers out there in my family. If anyone is interested in a fun read of YA Lit Fantasy, I am reading a wonderful one right now. The series is by Garth Nix and it is his Keys to the Kingdom series. It has been so much fun to read it, I am on the third book right now in a series of seven. These books are very quick reads. He is such a fun writer. I enjoy his style and imagination. His other series, The Old Kingdom, which includes Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen are in my top ten (the series, not each individual book) list of all time favorites. They are more for older teen and up readers, and I absolutely love them, and own those ones, so if anyone needs a good read, let me know.

But back to the Keys to the Kingdom. I think that I will have Jarek read these, when he has time. He is reading so much lately. He is trying to read Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and mom just gave him one about the Nick of Time or something like that. So maybe these will have to wait a bit.

Anyhow, that is my post on that. Laters!

Looking forward to MEXICO!!!

Okay, we all need to get better at checking in here on the Webb blog. I haven't been doing too good at it. i would love if everyone were involved.

Anyhow, only a week till Jacob, Millie and Ellery come down! We are so excited to see you guys and are especially looking forward to being in Mexico together. Bret is hoping that the chicken place doesn't disappoint. I am just looking so forward to being together and playing at the beach! Yeah!! I hope Enok and Ellery get along well.

okay, till next time....

this is my title, because Tevia told me to put one here

I'm writing this post as a test so Tevia wont whine and cry and throw a hissyfit.
and because I guess I love her as my sister. Anyway, things are going very, very busy
with me right now. Life could be much better but it also could be much worse. My school
seems to be going well, but I don't even have much time to notice it. I still do, however, love
my job, a lot. I'm hoping everyone is doing well and wheather you stay out of trouble or not, well
that's not really much of my business, as I'm way over here in Japan and I can't really do much
about anything if I wanted to or not. I know I'm just rambling, but who knows, there may be some
kind of hidden message in this post. If you find the hidden message, let me know.
Well, I hope this is somewhat satisfactory to Her Majesty. Hope everyone is doing well.
loves and kisses and hugs
