Well, I've made up my mind. I'm done with Blogging.
We've been here in Boise for over a year. We're settled. We love it here but the good ole days with boys at home and field trips when ever we wanted and free time to go places is over. Times have changed. So, this is a farewell to blogging about our move and adventures. How about a phone call? Or, join facebook and send me a wall message!

Now on Facebook
For those who are more Facebook fans, I've joined the club. You can access my blog from there, or simply get there more direct by just coming to Blogger, here. Anyway, I've been friended, and now I'm there. Don't expect much activity :) I have enough trouble keeping up a weekly post here.

Yes, We Made it Back!
It was a whirl wind trip, with a long drive on both sides. But, the reward was getting to see and spend time with some family and get our teeth cleaned! Aaahh.. slimy smooth teeth again. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I didn't bother sending out cards this year so don't think I must have missed you. I missed everyone and feel really guilty too, but aint doin nothin bout it, ok?
Apparantly we missed all the big snow here while we were gone. Everyone told us how jealous they were that we weren't shoveling our driveway everyday. We came back to just the remains of snow piles that hadn't yet melted. I wish it would have been warmer down south to make us feel like we were priveleged.
We brought back a neice with us. She wanted to learn to snowboard over the second half of vacation then fly back home.
Snowboarding has been good this season, since there is plenty of great snow pack. I got some padding for all of us so that this year there would be no broken tailbones. Wow, what an invention. They work great. Way better than stuffing pillows in the pants. :) I'm actually getting to the point where I can stand up and turn too! I think I'll wear these nifty pants motorcycling too, since I seem to manage bruises falling off my bike.
I'd like to report that we're back to our usual schedule by now. Although the boys are back in school I have yet to figure out a schedule. Dave is home all day most days and things don't get done the same with both of us here at the same time! It's not like he has a room/office he sits in all day doing his own thing. However, I'm happy to report that TODAY he is working! It's the first day since one day last month when he hung some Christmas lights for a neighbor. It's actually been nice to have him around but there is such guilt in spending time enjoying one another's company when at least one of us should be working. Maybe?

We're Out of Here!
Heading South for the winter.... hee hee. Actually just a quick visit for Christmas. Looking forward to family and old friends. Maybe some warmer weather? Snow kept us here an extra day. We're hoping for a good clear traveling day tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm Back!
Hello!
I feel like I've been gone a long time. My computer woes are ended. I took the very sick box into the repair shop so that I didn't have to deal with the phone help. They were excellent! And, they worked with Dell to replace all those broken pieces. A hard drive and video card. The best part was that they took a "snap shot" of the HD before they removed it, and when they put the new one in they loaded it up. I got back my computer working just as it used to before problems! I didn't have to load a thing!! Yippee.
My cold is just about gone. Josh is still a little under the weather, but we gave it to Dave and he's pretty sick. We're hoping all will be well before next week when we plan on taking our big drive south for the winter holiday.
We're anticipating a big storm coming in tonight. It is supposed to give us 3" of snow on our driveway tonight, and 12" on our snowboarding mountain. And, the storm is expected to continue until Tuesday next week! It's about time we get some snow up high.
Our garage door got fixed just in time too. I took the truck out on Tuesday for Josh's guitar lesson. When we got home the door wouldn't open and let us back in. We've had to leave the truck outside. It is frozen over in the mornings when I'm off to the gym. With the big storm coming in tonight, I'm glad the repair man was able to finish the job today. He came yesterday but said he would need to replace the entire bar/cable at the top, under warranty!! That was a pleasant surprise. He came back today with the part and left without needing any money. WHat another nice surprise.

Computer Woes
I love my computer. When it works. When it doesn't, it seems everything is tough going.
So, here I am, finally updating but I have no pictures and I'm on the laptop that isn't portable because the battery doesn't recharge. Seems like a short year of life. It rarely gets used these days.
The Big Dell is in the shop. Being the holiday time that it is, it will hopefully be ready on Monday next week. They have to back up the entire thing then remove EVERYTHING, and then reload. I will get it back for the fun project of reloading all the programs. UGH. I'm glad I didn't lose anything though. So, there is always a bright side, RIGHT!?
The boys are off for the holiday. We're going to a church family's for Thanksgiving dinner. Zach gets to practice his math facts everyday and I hope we get to go riding sometime over the weekend.
That's about it around here! See, you didn't miss much.

Things Going On
It has seemed busier around here than usual.
We had a "meet and greet" for Josh and a guitar teacher to decide whether or not Josh wants to commit to learning this instrument. It seemed like all went well, and Josh is ready and willing to learn guitar.
I have had a couple of conversations with Zach's teacher and on Friday we have a conference to decide how to proceed with Zach's math class. He is falling behind the class faster than we anticipated.
My computer is not working. It won't even boot up, hence my lack in posts lately. I just got the laptop working sufficiently to get on for this and a few other needed tasks. Dell is supposed to call back "in an hour" to continue the help. It's been almost 2 hrs. I guess the guy really needed a break! I hate computers when they dont work!
