They said they really liked it there but that the culture is, obviously, radically different than our own. Has Dean heard about the record snow fall and cold in South Korea lately?<br /><br />Hopefully, Dean continues to improve.<br /><br />I can't imagine that it would be as hard as you might think to find a house in Ramah, although I only say that if you include more than Ramah proper, i.e. Timberlake. Of course, Ramah proper would be preferable--but to save a lot of money--and to be closer to family I feel would be well worth it. I am a little selfish about this too, since I haven't seen you or your family for a year and a half now...<br /><br />As far as enrolling Kyler in school: Ian Andersen's parents, Kurt and Cindy, enrolled Ian--who was born about the same day in September as Hunter was--at Pine Hill just long enough for him to transfer to Ramah. So I think he only spent days, literally enrolled at schools other than the ones in Ramah for his entire public school career. I asked mom about this option for me, since I know she looked into it at the time I was about to be five by looking at all the schools Zuni had to offer. All of them refused enrolling me, of course. Mom simply said she had no desire to enroll me at Pine Hill. Still, I'm saying for just a few days and then putting him at Ramah Elementary (and assuming Pine Hill still does it) is well worth it. <br /><br />If then anyone can fume over the enrollment cutoff date it could very well be me--since I was a victim to it. What adds more fuel to the fire is that my wife was born the same day four years later, but graduated only three years after me since California's cutoff date was November 30th. I've told her about this and she says it's no bother because we likely never would have met otherwise. Because of that, such an arbitrary and stupid law doesn't anger me as much as it could.The Merrillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221807955080050820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483180333028507000.post-71114291395702733482010-01-11T15:05:15.947+09:002010-01-11T15:05:15.947+09:00I really appreciate your honesty about kids.

I just lived through the cutoff nightmare and will be frustrated about it for 15 more years! Best of luck with figuring out what to do. I would hate to see you go. I went "home" for an extended period of time during a deployment and now some of my children's best memories are of those spent with my family. I believe it created a "home town" for my kids. Goodluck with that decision.<br />love you. PS. You looked lovely today at church. Your hair looks gorgeous as usual. I like it at all lengths.*****https://www.blogger.com/profile/08545010569100443218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483180333028507000.post-57687188072979718702010-01-11T14:27:25.313+09:002010-01-11T14:27:25.313+09:00We're sorry that Dean has had such a rough ti...We're sorry that Dean has had such a rough time with his surgery and a blood clot on top of that. At least the doctors found out what the problem was and he's doing better. What a mess that you will be stuck in the States for a year while Dean is gone. Good luck finding a rental in Ramah! Even though each child is different, all are much the same--destroying valuable things for no good reason. Very frustrating. Hopefully your week of detention will help.Dawna Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10179853633896111282noreply@blogger.com
