my beginning.

well, i have decided to try this blog thing. my oldest daughter, cali blogs and i get to keep caught up with her through her blogs. so I thought i would give it a try also. i am really busy and am not sure when i will find time to update it, but it is worth a try.

i have been married to jerry jewkes for 10 years. i have 3 daughters that are "Merrell" girls and 2 sons that are" jewkes" boys. Cali is 23, i think, and married to brett smith for 3 years now. alyssa is 21 and single and getting her lpn at snow college. macy is daughter #3 and is attending montana state as a freshman. She plays volleyball there and seems to be adjusting to life away from home. my sons are alex who is 16. he was being raised by his father when i married him. he was 4 the time and i have raised him since the. dallin is my youngest son. he is 10 soon to be 11. he is jerry's and my son together.

i work at costco in orem utah part time and have been a volleyball official for colleges for about 15 years. i work for big sky, mountain west, western athletic conference. i love it and it helps pay the bills. i do not necessarily enjoy working at costco, but the people are great and the benefits are really good. i wish that i could be at home baking cookies, but that is not possible. my husbands job has deminished his hours and i need to work to take some of the load off of him. maybe someday that will change. i hope so.

time to make dinner now so i will go and post again later.
