Emily started High School in September. She is really enjoying it. She is taking a few honors classes right now, so her load is quite heavy. Plus, she is class president in her Young Women's class at church and Stake Youth Committee member. She was asked to Homecoming last month. She looked beautiful and her date brought her a dozen red roses. Very nice. She had a fun time.

In October she was given a trip to Dallas to spend the weekend with our friend Heather and her boys at Heather's parents house. They took her to the Dallas Aquarium, and State Fair and the Book Depository Museum (about Kennedy's assassination). And, of course, she had a great time. Emily has a great time where ever she goes.
Bryan is STILL looking for work. He met again the guy he interviewed with a few month ago at PSE (our power company) a couple of weeks ago and he is meeting with him again in about a week and a half. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it will lead to a job. How great would that be. Bryan joined the local Chamber of Commerce and this guy is the president of the group.
I'm still working at the alpaca ranch. It's now time to break out the heavy work overalls. It's quite cold in the mornings. I need my woolies. The babies are growing fast and so cute. Debra and I went to Kennewick, WA last Saturday to drop off a couple of visiting alpacas and pick up a couple of her alpacas. They were swoped for breeding. It was a beautiful drive. All the trees are gold, red and orange and the fruit fields were all different colors. What a perfect day.
Well, since I probably won't be back on before Thanksgiving I am wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving and want to tell you how thankful I am to have you in my life. You enrich me.
