Time to open Stockings!
Because Gerry frequently misses Christmas (and will again this year) we do things a little differently. We do Christmas all through the month of December. I know, I know...you're now jealous because you only get a day or two to open gifts. Really, anybody can adopt this method and we think you should! It's so much more fun to drag it out! Here we are opening stockings.
Another year's gone by...
Since I have run out of time to type up a fancy letter to commemorate this last year's happenings...I will post it here instead. Here's to 2007!
Gerry:
1) Met a bunch of mountain biking junkies and had the thrill of his life parading on many-a-mountain trail and flying over 10-foot (or higher) jumps.
2) Continues to work on the Arctic Slope. He now works for CH2M Hill, a company that purchased VECO earlier this year. We are excited and hopeful about the new things to come with this company. Job security baby!
3) Currently engrosed in fantasy football. Sundays are filled with loud cheering and Gerry racing back and forth to the TV and computer to check stats. Please o please February come soon! :) (For those of you who are wondering, we go to church on saturday nights)
Heather:
1) Graduated from UCCS in May with a BS in Nutrition. FINALLY!
2) Started an RD Internship at ISU in Boise. Come December 20, 2007 I will be half done.
3) Was offered a Clinical RD position at the VA Hospital in Boise. Looks like we'll be camping out here for a little longer than we expected. Boise is nice though and we are excited to discover all of what Idaho has to offer.
4) Continue to wind down with scrapbooking and card-making. A magazine or two is also a pasttime that keeps my creative bug going in the midst of writing papers, doing presentations, and learning so much I think my head is going to explode soon.
Other things...
1) As you might have gathered...we moved to Boise, Idaho for my RD Internship in July. We were very sad to leave Colorado as we just happened upon a great group of christian friends. We loved our time in Colorado and hope to visit often. Such a great place for outdoor enthusiasts.
2) We're getting a dog!!! Finally we are able to get a dog because we are no longer living in apartments. We decided to wait until January because I will be flying up to Alaska for Christmas and figured mom and dad wouldn't want a big, roudy dog in their house.
3) Met many of our neighbors and discovered that many of them are christians. We
started a montly bible/prayer study to pray for each other and our community.
God continues to bless us regardless of where we land.

McCall, Idaho....recreation galore!
Two weekends ago (November 24-25th), Gerry and I ventured into the wilds of rural Idaho and found ourselves in McCall. Pleasantly enough, we found it was a recreation haven. The town sits on a rather large lake in the midst of beautiful mountains. With the surroundings comes three different ski resorts, a multitude of hot springs, any activity a mountain can provide such as hiking, biking, paragliding, and many more things the imagination can make up. Summer and Winter activities are of pleanty. I regret to say that we missed both of those seasons the weekend we ventured there. You would think that there would be enough snow by Thanksgiving but alas there was not and we found ourselves in the midst of the "slow season". Bummer! I bet by now there are many a people skiing down snowy slopes with feet of snow underneath. Oh well. We still made the best of it and relaxed inside our condo. It was the first time we had used our timeshare and it was well worth it. I think we'll be scheduling a few more trips up north to find a winter-wonderland and plenty of things to keep ourselves occupied.
I'm Baaaaack!
Hello everyone! No, I didn't die. Yes, I have neglected this blog and you're all probably wondering if I've given up. No, I've simply been CrAZi busy with an internship, a job, and life in general. Not to mention the holi-daze and all they demand.
