Stuff

Okay, I know. We know. It's been slow going with the updates. We have been busy. Yes, I know. So have you. And you still find time to update your blog. I get it.

Anyway, here's a quick update:

We made it through the holidays well (see happy new year Post) and have launched into 2009 at full speed. April is doing well at the lab, and work is going well for me also. We spent 4 days in Cancun in early January on a w0rk trip. That was nice. We spent a day in Solvang/Santa Ynez with Helen, Alias, and Elijah last weekend. That was also nice.

We are planning a trip to Georgia in Feb. to visit with family, as I have not been back since we moved to California. Mom's cancer treatments are going well, and are actually almost done, and she is excited about seeing us. Actually I am looking forward to getting back, even though it will be rushed, hectic, and stressful with not enough time with anyone. But that's how it goes, right? Any time with family is worth it.

Our travel schedule is quickly filling up this year. We really want to get to San Antonio to see my brother and his wife and her kids. We figure we should probably meet them! I plan to call him tonight and see when a good time to come would be- likely end of March for us.

We are also heading up to Ontario to spend some time with the McArthur-Wilson clan. We cannot wait! It's been too long between visits.

In addition, our niece Jessica, in Montana, is graduating from High School and getting married this summer. We have to figure out the schedule for those two events as well.

We are also anticipating doing some camping this summer in the amazing parks in Cali- Yosemite, Joshua Tree, etc., etc., and need to make those plans, too.

So hopefully I can actually post some pictures soon. No promises. You know how I am with promises on this blog...
