Happy Thanksgiving! 

HALLOWEEN 2008

Halloween was fun, we're sad it's over. We had fun decorating, we went to a Murder Mystery Dinner, Handed out candy and went to a Halloween party here on the base, we miss all of you, our families and friends and hope you had a great time! We keep trying to download photos but they have not been working, keep checking back for updates.........

Happy Halloween!

 Well, it's one of our little families favorite times of the year! We've put up decorations, put scary music on our iPods and have made a list of Halloween shows we want to watch... We miss being in Utah for Halloween but it's better than last year's Halloween, Basic Training. We miss haunted houses and neat Halloween stores, Monterey is so boring and unfestive, we are excited to go to the Half Moon Bay Harvest Festival in 2 weeks and we'll keep you all updated with our Halloween activities......

HOME!!!

From July 5th to July 12th Nick had class break, we were very happy to get out of this dive and go home to beautiful, hot, Utah! The days were packed, as a vacation it wasn't too relaxing but it was fun and fulfilling. We drove all night and arrived on Saturday morning as the sun was coming up. After some sleep we went to a Family Reunion with Nick's extended family then swimming at Grandma Brimley's house. Next day we went Savannah's birthday party. Monday we went to Lagoon all day with the Walkers, it was really fun! Tuesday Angela had 2 dental implants put in (with pictures!) and Nick had to go and spend 5 hours getting one of car's tires fixed, that night we hung out with friends, Brad and Amy, Mike and Hailee, and Shanae, we had a ton on fun catching up and the guys ended up making a stupid youtube video poking fun at Barack Obama.... Wednesday we spent the day with Colleen and Jenessa and made some more visits, that night we went and ate dinner with Les and Betty. Thursday Nick went the auction and got Vietnamese food with Joe, while Angela got to know all of her friends many new babies, that night we went and hung out with Cam and Janica. Friday we had a breakfast up in Milcreek Canyon wit the Pfeifers, after that we packed up tried to tie up a lot of the remaining things we wanted to do and we had the awesome chance of going flying with Jim. Saying goodbye to everyone was not fun at all but inevitably early Saturday morning we made the long drive back to Monterey, at least we were able to kidnap Jenessa and bring her with us for a few weeks.     

  Now we're back to work and back to school and if all goes as plans we should be done here in a few short months!
