Warmer weather....

Due to unseasonable warmer weather than Utah usually has, I regret to inform you all that The ice thing, has mostly melted!
I can't say that I am sad that the weather has been really quite nice for this time of year, but I can say, that I really do miss the ice thing when it melts away into nothingness. It may yet get cold enough to rebuild it yet again this winter, but only time tell. Hope you all have a very Happy New Year!

Here it is! :)

Ice thing 2011 in the early stages...(if this works)

Just a quickie...

Hey everybody. Just a quick update. Life is moving along for us at lightening speed! We are really trying to make this a Christmas we will all remember especially, because as Chet and I just realized the other day, if things go the way it looks like they will be going, by next Christmas, Megan will be married and having her first Christmas on her own, and Ford will be serving a mission! Chet and I might just be having our first Christmas alone in 20 years next year!
Chet has his ice thing up and going, it is off to a wonderful start! I just keep hoping that no one ever gets in a wreck by stopping in the road to look and take pictures! ;) Some of the joys of the season, and the only thing for me that makes it ok that it is this blinking cold! Chet took a picture the other night I will try to get it from him and post for your viewing pleasure. I love you all and hope you are as ready for Christmas as you can be.
Oh ya! One more thing, I went and had a massage from our Mindy sister the other day, and I WILL be going back for more! Love, Love LOVED it! Thanks Mindy! :)

Merry Christmas

Hello all

Well, this has taken a while. Maybe we can revive this blog a bit. I hope so. I will make a concerted effort to get on here more often.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all. We wish we could come out for a little celebration. But, we've got some great things coming up this year that I need to start banking my time off for. Things like weddings and family get-togethers and Scout Camps and Girls camps. Well, you get the idea.

This year will also be Jennah and my 15th Anniversary. That seemed like such a huge mile marker when we started this trip. And, it is a big marker. The time just passed on the journey much faster than I could have imagined. I suppose it always does that. Time is funny stuff. Oh well, if the Mayan calendar is right, time will end in 2012 anyway and we won't have to worry about it anymore. Let's live it up!

I am actually looking forward to this new year, even as I glance back at the one just passed and wonder how that happened.

I hope to see you all soon and wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Love Dave & Jennah & the Wild Things (yes, they're here)
