Updates

Well let's see, May 14th and what's new.

Travis is done with his Freshman year at the U, everything went well. Looks like he'll be getting an apartment close to school next year with a few friends.

Ali is finishing her Freshman year at Juan Diego, she got her upper braces off this past week too and Justin is finishing 8th Grade at SJB.

I now work for Oracle in Software Sales. Sue is busy as ever with Cystic Fibrosis Clinic - understaffed and overworked. Hopefully soon they can get fully staffed.....

Ski season working is done for me, even though it's snowing in the mountains still, no need for Ski Check or Parking.

We bought Sue a Jeep for Mothers Day, guess what she's getting for her Birthday - yep, parts for the Jeep. It's a 1992 Wrangler Interior is in great condition, the exterior needs some work.
We'll tinker with it all summer. Took it for a drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon last week. Gorgeous day - Mother's Day.

Summer is right around the corner!!

Visitors

This weeks brings us some visitors. Steve and Tyler Billings are on their way out right now. Steve has business in Utah to tend to and Tyler is spending Easter with the Meihls clan again. He's planning on hitting the slopes often. Looks like Travis Ali and Justin might be sick a day or 3. :)

Eric Raucci is bringing his lovely wife Teri out to view the area for a possible move out here next summer. Sort of a show and tell for him.

We plan on doing the Crater this Sunday, have lived here for 4 years and this will be our first time.

We also plan on taking them to Ruth's Diner and also Silver Fork Lodge.

Still no start date on my new job at Oracle, looks like it might be next week. Hopefully soon, Sue is getting tired of me being home and quite frankly, so am I. Once this job starts, looks like the alarm will be going off at 4:30 in order to get up and do the routine of making breakfast for Sue and I and also lunches too. Can we go to bed any earlier. Thank god we don't have WGN out of Chicago, otherwise I think we'd be watching their 9:00 news at 8:00 our time and hitting the sack.

The pic was taken from my Iphone, I liked it with the wind blowing over the mountain snow it had a shadow effect.

That's it for now.

March, 2010

Well January and February came and went rather quickly.

Had the Raucci's out (Eric, Ashley and Sam) the first week of February, Eric is bringing Teri and Ashley back out in a couple of weeks. They love the snow in the mountains. Interestingly enought, that's what brought us here too.

Ali went to the Winters dance. Volleyball will start up soon enough with open gym and all. Good luck to her this year on that. Hopefully it'll be a full year of Volleyball, no other surgeries scheduled.

Justin has been playing indoor lacrosse, it's now over and in a few weeks, Spring Lacrosse will begin, in the meantime, he's running Cross Country at St. John.

Travis completed his first semester at University of Utah, passed all of his courses and is doing well in the 2nd semester. He's working diligently and saving as much as he can to purchase his new car, Subaru WRX.

Sue is walking in the Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis walk on May 15, if you'd like to donate, here's the link:

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Till next time.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Well another Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone. This year we had the chance to celebrate Travis' 19th Birthday. Hard to believe that he's 19, again, where has the time gone.

We didn't do the normal shopping this year after Thanksgiving, this year we chose to drive over to Wyoming, (only an 1 hour 30 minute drive) and find our Christmas tree in the forest. You can stop at one of the stations and buy a permit for $10.00 and go up into Ashley National Forest and cut any tree you'd like, max is 12 foot, not a problem for us. There was about a foot or so of snow in the mountains. We finally found ours in a grove of trees at 9500 feet elevation.

After loading it on the car and took off for home, taking some scenic back roads till we finally hit I-80 just East of Evanston WY. I think a fun time was had by all. Only one little misfortune with the tree, last night, we were ready for bed and kids yelled "the tree fell over" so after a little cleaning up all was back to normal.

Trav's Birthday was uneventful, he wanted something homemade for dinner and then Frogurt afterwards. Later that evening he spent it doing College homework.

Have a great Christmas season everyone. More later.

Sue and Dan

well here it is one year later

Happy 20th Anniversary to my lovely wife!!

I love you more and more each day.

Dan

Yes, we're a little late in updating

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....
