"Wow!" that's what Mom said when I told her I was going to blog! It's been over a year now since I blogged last but now I would like to start it up again.
Today we spent the most of the day cutting up one of our pigs. Andrew and David helped Jonathan kill, gut, and skin it yesterday while I was away doing my vacuuming job at metigoshe ministries. We sold the other pig to two people and brought half down to the butcher in town for them to process and delivered the other half to people that wanted to cut it up themselves. We just finished cutting the fat into smaller pieces to be rendered into lard when Mom is ready.
This week is supposed to be really nice weather like today so we can get a bunch more outdoor things done before snow. 
I've been having fun driving myself around. A week ago or so I passed the test and received my driver's permit down in Bottineau. The day after I got it we were going to Minot (100 miles away) so I got to drive there. It's not too difficult in the rural areas but I'm not comfortable driving in town yet. I have a silly kitten sitting in my lap right now that plays with anything he can reach even if he has to climb up your leg to get to it. He's watching my fingers typing ready to pounciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg---------------o0oooooooooooooo he just walked on the keyboard and typed his uyfrrrrrrrrrrrrr message to you.

Welcome back to blogger-ville, Peter! I'm glad you've started writing again...
Congratulations on getting your permit! When I first got my permit, I would ONLY drive on gravel roads, as I felt safe there. :) I now see that pavement is pretty nice to drive on too! Jacob wants to get his permit as soon as he's 14 (tomorrow), so we'll see how that goes...
Once again, welcome back~

PS. I thought it was neat that in your newest photo, you're wearing a shirt very similar to the one you were wearing in your last picture. :)
Good to have you back, Peter!
