Well it has been forever since I have posted. This last year has went by really fast. In April I started a new job with Excel heating out of spanish fork, utah. It has been a real good job change and I love it here. The owner is awesome and I enjoy those I work with. In July my wife and I joined her family and went to Alaska and Canada on a cruise land tour which was totally awesome 13 days of wonder and enjoyment.  This fall has been good with a trip to Boulder mountain for a long weekend with my brother, his son and my oldest son. We had a wonderful weekend of hanging out and fishing. This last weekend went with my scout group to Crystal Hot Springs and it was a great relaxing weekend.

I have not written for a long time! My dad passed away last November and it has been quite the road to settle the estate. For all I recommend setting up your estate in a family trust it would have made things go easier. But this has been a learning experience for sure. We finally sold the house where we all grew up yesterday. Kind of a sad day. We all know this is the way it is supposed to be as the sale went really well considering all we had to do. Shanna and Ryan with their five kids were able to buy a home the first of the year and I was able to help them with a bunch of repair and redoing so they could move in and finally enjoy their own home. They only live a half mile away. Scott and Kayce are doing well with their two children living up in northern Utah. Chastina and Steve with the four kids are in Lehi and are doing well. Steve is in school and doing well there. Nicole and Ben are in Spanish Fork with their two kids. They are doing all they can to make life good. Kade is living in Orem and busy with work and being busy in his ward calling. He loves to get out and play. Janet and I are doing some remodeling at our house and trying to make sure all our family know how much we love them. Yes life is good but with all that seems to go on it has been real busy.
