Patriot Defense

My husband has launched his business of teaching concealed carry classes for Idaho.

Basic Concealed Carry Class…$60 a person.

The student will need a handgun and at least 50 rounds of ammo. If the student does not have a handgun, we can provide a handgun free of charge. Ammo can be provided for a fee.

Some Instructors do not offer a shooting portion of the Idaho CCW class because it is not required by Idaho Law. At Patriot Defense, we feel that it is important to not only teach you the basic knowledge of the laws and the equipment you will be using but to also teach you the basic skills of gun handling and marksmanship through a hands on approach.

We feel that our classes are best if taught in small groups of friends or family. In order to make this possible, we can come and teach you in the comfort of your own home. We are available evenings or weekends. You make the schedule that fits you the best.

You can contact us to schedule appointments or answer questions via text or phone at 1-620-794-6223 or email at patriotdefense13@yahoo.com

Memory Monday

I love my parents. I will be forever grateful for all the things they taught me growing up. I miss seeing them together. Sometimes the Lord gives me a tender mercy and allows me to remember the sound of my mother’s voice whether it be with something she used to say all the time or her laugh. T was talking about how he has to wash his hands all the time at work because of the lab he works in and how everything has to be sterile and how his hands were really dry. It brought to my mind how my mother always washed her hands and they would crack and bleed from all the hand washing she did and her voice came to my mind with “Go wash your hands,” “wash your hands before you do that.” I am not as dedicated to that rule as my mother was, but I am grateful she taught me about cleanliness. Oh how I miss her. Yet, I know without a doubt she has been in my children’s lives before I even have had an opportunity to hold them in my own arms. Each one of them has something of her in them. I just wish we could sit side by side and together enjoy them…one day…one day it will be.

Gratitude

I am not a real fan of the pregnancy belly pictures, but I suppose I should have at least one for documentation. This is me with one month left to go. Even though I am big as a house, I am truly grateful. Even though it can be miserable, the hurting hips, the sore muscles, heartburn, and all the other challenges are so worth it. We are truly grateful for this precious miracle. We cannot wait to meet him!

It Has Been Awhile

It has been two months since the big move and things are plugging right along. I sometimes miss the lazy days with my husband and kids, but I am glad to be back in Idaho involved in the things that I am.

I am now the Valiant 9 girls teacher and over the activity days for that age group. I completed my CNA program and will be taking the semester off to get more money built up and just work. It is so strange to not be on the computer anymore, which then keeps me from seeing the goings on in my family and friends’ lives. I sometimes feel out of place without my own home, but I also feel very blessed to have the generosity of my in-laws to open their home to us to give us a place to stay until we can have our own home again.

M has passed driver’s education and is now driving with a licensed adult in the car with her. I am not sure where the time has gone because I am not sure I feel old enough to have a driving child. She does pretty well. She had the opportunity to go to EFY for a whole week and loved it. When we heard her testimony in church, we knew that it was worth all the sacrifices made to get her there.

J went to girls’ camp and enjoyed herself. She is not too excited for school to start, but we find with our little J that she gripes about things because she hates any kinds of change that takes her out of her comfort level and then once she has done it, she says she enjoys it. She went rafting with the youth and loved it. She had her first real babysitting job and did an excellent job.

C is excited to start school. She loves that I am teaching her primary class. She has always been my little shadow, and so I enjoy this time I get to be with her. She enjoyed having her cousin to play for two weeks.

K is excited to begin school this year. He has been able to play with boys and that has been the highlight of his summer. He loves the mountains and was able to go up in them a few times. He loves all the room he gets to run and have fun outside. Grandma’s sandbox was quite fun and now there is a trampoline, so life is good for the little man.

We finally were able to get up into the mountains. They have been calling our names since we crossed the Idaho border. We went to Redfish Lake and enjoyed playing in the water and the sand.

The Lord continues to bless us. We are thankful for the generosity of family and support and prayers said in our behalf. We know the Lord answers our prayers through people in our lives and for this we are so blessed.

TIME FLIES

There is so much that has happened since the first of this year, and I did not blog about it because I was trying to surprise my daddy. I think I was successful in that, so now I can share what has been going on publicly.

This is the first opportunity since we have moved back to Idaho that I have had to actually get on the computer and do some blogging. I have not pictures as of yet, because things are still being unpacked and situated.

The biggest thing that happened was that we moved back to Idaho.

The next biggest thing is that I am going back to school. I have had a week of class and like it so far.

We were able to get two of our children into a charter school that we absolutely are very excited about. And M and J are excited as well. Hopefully, C will be soon because she is number 22, and K will have to wait until first grade.

M starts driver’s education in two weeks. I am amazed at how the time has flown and how I somehow have a 15-year-old who is capable of driving. On the positive side, it will be nice to have one more driver in the family because we cannot seem to get everywhere we need to sometimes.

J will be doing girl’s camp this year. She is not really sure about it, but I have every confidence that she will enjoy herself because one of my good friends is in charge of camp, and she is a very fun person.

C and K are enjoying all the space we have to play outside and run around. We are doing the summer movie program, so that is something they look forward to.

We have met up and reconnected with cousins, which did not take long at all. I have been able to spend time with two of my sisters and hopefully I will get to see my brother and other sister very soon.

I will blog more in detail when I get my camera connections unpacked and uploaded to the computer.

Have a great weekend!
