It is October now, wow, where does the time go.
Well, Travis is doing well in College down at the U. Ali is finally back to playing volleyball for Juan Diego H.S. after a lengthy recovery from surgery on her leg in July and August and Justin is tearing up the field for the Lacrosse team.
Sue and I are now responsible for driving and picking up since Travis is staying at the U, oh how do we miss him....It makes for a long day however, in a year, it'll all be forgotten when Ali gets her license.
Sue is getting ready to attend the Nat'l Conference for Cystic Fibrosis in Minneapolis MN this week. One of her perks for working in that Department.
Qwest is going well, sales are increasing and telecom is now coming quite natural to me, it's been a year now since I've been out of Real Estate and I thank God every day for that.
One month from today, Sue and I will celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary, seems like only yesterday that we were still in College, yet we have one there now.
Until then....

Last Sunday before school starts....
Sunday the 16th, what's happening today? Well, we're heading out to the stores for last minute shopping for Ali and Justin, they start school tomorrow. Ali will be a Freshman and Justin will be in 8th Grade. Ali is still laid up with her knee from her surgery almost 3 weeks ago. One of these days it will heal and she can "officially" try out for the Freshman volleyball team, sure hope they wait, otherwise this year will be written off. Justin should start fall Lacrosse soon, look forward to those games on Saturday's
Off to shop, send us a note sometime.

Wow, where have we been and what have we been doing
Well since the last post some 3+ months ago, we've gone through Travis graduating High School, Ali graduating 8th grade and Justin advancing out of 7th grade. Where have the years gone?
We've had my family visit us during Graduation week, my mom and dad and sister Tori and her family all came out, had a good time with them here. We've also managed a surprise visit to Chicago to walk in on Sue's brothers and sisters and also Mom/Dad, none of them knowing we were coming. It was good to spend time back in Chicago, but oh man,the traffic....
As for hikes, we've done a couple of them, pics to come later, maybe I need to find a way to update the blog from the phone with the pics on them, it'd make life a lot less hectic.
We just completed our first backpacking overnight trip. Went with our friends the Benson's and our neighbors the Rasmussen's. Went about 2.4 miles in to Notch Lake up near Bald Mountain in the Uintah's. Weather was great, expecting rain, but camping at 10,200 feet, hail was more in store. Steve woke up in his tent Sunday morning to a chill of 31 degrees, ours on the other hand was a balmy 35 degrees. Thank god for good sleeping bags.
What's in store for the next few weeks: Travis moves to the University of Utah in a week and a half, Ali is trying out for Volleyball at Juan Diego and Fall Lacrosse starts for Justin. Sue and I will continually drive and pick up :)
That's it in a nutshell, I'll try to write more on what we've been doing later and post some pics.

Ali's Confirmation
Ali's long 4 month journey to be confirmed in the Catholic Faith is now over. After many Monday nights, it's now over. Sue was the Catechist teacher for Ali's class of approx 15 kids. Sue got involved because she didn't want Ali to have to attend class on Sunday's, right in the middle of ski season so Sue volunteered to teach. I think she enjoyed it, even though it was many Monday Nights.
As you can see in the picture, Lucinda was Ali's sponsor, thanks Lucinda!!!
Overall, there were 128 kids Confirmed at St. John the Baptist Middle School, not bad where the obvious religion is not Catholic :)
Enjoy the pictures, next up, 8th Grade Graduation on the 20th of May and then Travis's H.S. graduation on the 23rd of May.

Cystic Fibrosis - GREAT STRIDES
http://www.cff.org/great_strides/SueMeihls
If this link doesn't work, please copy and paste into your browser.
I am writing to ask for your help and enlist your support. I recently signed up to participate in GREAT STRIDES: Taking Steps to Cure Cystic Fibrosis, which is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s annual, nationwide walk.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than 10 million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Much progress has been made toward finding a cure for CF, however, the CF Foundation’s work is far from over, as precious young lives continue to be lost to this disease.
I am currently the Clinical Nurse Coordinator for the Intermountain Cystic Fibrosis Center and care for over 200 pediatric patients with CF.
I will be walking on May 16, 2009 in Salt Lake City with a large group of people in honor of all of the individuals affected by CF. Collectively, we would like to raise as much money as possible for vital CF research. I would appreciate a donation from you if your budget allows. Your charitable contribution is 100 percent tax deductible.
Your contribution will enable the CF Foundation to take full advantage of the tremendous opportunities in CF research that are now on the horizon. The path to finding a cure for CF is paved with numerous research opportunities—any one of which could have a profound impact on the lives of those with the disease. The only thing standing in the way of a cure is additional money to fund this life-saving research. Your support allows us to give children and adults with CF the quality of life and future they deserve.
Thank you for supporting this important cause!
Best wishes

Well heeeeere's March
Soooo, what's happening in March???
Jay and Dalisa are moving to Knoxville, TN this month :( Hate to see them go, but we'll wish them well in their future work. Now maybe Jay can convince Dalisa NOW is the time to start a family - time will tell.
No one that we know of right now is visiting this month. The snow here is not great. We just haven't had a lot of it this year.
The weather is turning nicer, time to ramp up the training for Escape from Alcatraz. Time to pump up the tires on the bike and try to ride it again - time will tell on that one too. lol :)
That's about it for now.
