1. We've been to California about 10 times watching the Miller boys in sports and the girls in plays. We also spent Christmas with the Emplesteins in Fresno. Fun, fun, fun, but cold, cold, cold.
2. We've been to Utah even more times, since we bought a home there last September and have been renovating and furnishing it. It will hopefully be our retirement home in the future. Here are a couple of pictures. It is really starting to shape up and I need to take some more recent shots.
Family Room
Really big, nice kitchen3. Of course, what is the fall without some BYU football. It was great to have Julie, TJ & the kids there to go with us. We saw Jackson and Natalie play football and soccer and we had some great food at our, now, traditional tailgate parties.
4. We went to Hawaii for U.S. Thanksgiving with the Brinks, AP Christoffersons and GP Christoffersons. It was so much fun and then the girls had a "girls" week with Heather and Nicole joining us after everyone else left. We definitely need to make it a tradition. We also went back in March to hawaii with Jim and Sherri. It was a fun time, but really cold for Hawaii. I just need to remind myself that the worst day in Hawaii is better than the best winter day in Calgary.
5. I spent a week or so in Denver after Christmas to help Marilee with pregnancy sickness issues. It was fun to see the kids play basketball. They all did so well.
6. April took us to Detroit to enjoy the Final Four basketball tournament with the Millers, Andrews and Lettichs. We had a private box and lots of yummy food. Detroit was quite a surprise, as it was much nicer than i expected it to be. We had a really fun weekend.
Ford Field
Magic Johnson was at a mall and he was very niceWell, that is an extremely brief year in review. I'll tryto do better so it isn't always so sketchy. We are off to Utah this weekend to spend a week attending Ali Brinkerhoff's wedding and just enjoying our new home. Can't wait!
