I didn't post Hello to the o Jamie did under my name just in case anyone was wondering

update

Last week I found out that my company sent in my application to the apprenticeship program and two weeks ago they purchased excel excavation so we now have backhoes, bulldozers and front end loaders, etc. I still haven't heard from the board to know if I have been accepted into the program.

Hell to the o

Ok, probably not the best intro for this week...but oh well. So Brian is taking shifts at the station now, he has 10 a month or so. He also applied for his apprenticeship and should start working with his mentor soon. His classes for operating heavy equipment start in January I think? He had a review just last week and hopefully he'll get some kind of raise soon. He works super hard and I'm very proud of the commitments he has made. I'll post some firefighting pics soon. Anyway Jack-Jack is still the best little boy ever and Noah is precious, wild, but precious. He was a spider for Halloween which was hilarious. We are thinking of saving to come to Utah maybe in May or so...We want to be there for Jess's graduation and see our old friends. Life is good, hard, but good. Bizz, how's that boyfriend of yours? Someone tell Jessica to sign up for this blog thing! Katie you made a wonderful Voldamort, can't wait to see the havoc you reaped...(ha!ha! ha!)

Hollar

Hi to All,
Yes, it's actually me....I've really enjoyed the pictures and tales. Good idea Liz, thanks. Last night we helped President Ward box up their house to get it ready for sale. They have bought a condo in Belvidere and are going through thirty years of clutter. WOW made me think of all our clutter. Starting to get cold here which means Christmas is around the corner. Not too early to get those lists to me. Also, please let us know what your travel plans are so we can get tickets. There will be no changing tickets this year so get the return date home correct. Well, I have Stake Training tonight as well as Stake Conference so...gotta run. Love to all of you XOXO
