Hello to family. I have decided that maybe I should join the 21st century and start a blog. Since I am a horrible correspondent this might help me keep in touch.

First here is an update on our family, Matt has had his job at Allied for less than a year so he has no vacation time. This means that we are going for the maximum weekend plan. Our yard my look like a jungle but we will definitely have some fun to show for it. This is our last Saturday activity. My brother brought his family and joined us for a river trip. Fun, other than Matt dropping his drivers license and credit card somewhere in the Molalla River. Sorry guys, it won't be of much use if you find it since we called and cancelled it on the drive home. The help desk got a good laugh out of it though.
