It is back to triple digits, yesterday 100 & 104 today but is to be mid 90s for rest of week (at least they are saying as of tonight).

The thunder storm Symone (ID) is getting almost sounds good.  We could use rain but it would be really Weird if we did, at least here in the Valley.  I guess it beats Hurricane Arnold & the typhoon in the Pacific.  I would love to have the weather of the Northwest (west of the Cascades) for summer or Kurt & Vickie's OR coast weather.  Guess we all have trade offs for where we live.  So far still want to live in CA.

Picture time!

I found some pictures from the family reunion and thought I'd post them.  Enjoy!

Hey everybody!  Thought I'd get around to actually posting something on here, let you all know how we're doing.

Justin's in the process of making final edits to his Master's thesis.  He gives it to his readers on August 4th, and he defends it on August 20th.  We can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!  Any questions about the thesis itself should be directed to Justin.  :)

The other big thing on our horizon is waiting to hear back from BYU-Idaho.  Justin applied for a position in their online learning department, and he really wants this one.  He worked in online learning as a student (he built a sizable chunk of the online learning website) so he already knows exactly what the job would entail, he knows most of the people in the department, it's work he enjoys, and BYU-Idaho employees get to take classes for free (he's really excited for free art classes).  If everyone could cross your fingers for us/keep us in your prayers, we'd really appreciate it.  Thanks!

Lots of love,
Symone

Congrats to Trista & her Girl Scout Troop on raising  $225.00  :)

Besides working at the storage place & for Donner Music Camp w/Samuel, her "duties" for/with her Girl Scouts & being a Mom of 4 lovely daughters she is a Very Neat & Cool wife & an All Round Special Lady.   Good move by Samuel on asking her to marry him 5 years ago (correct??)!!  Samuel thanks for asking Trista & Trista thanks for saying Yes!  So Glad Trista & girls are part of Our Family!!  It is a very lovely "branch" on the Family Tree!

Guess I should have waited for the evening news.  It has changed again.   They are saying low to mid 90s & no triple digits for a while.  Next week is to be in the mid 90s as well.  YEAH.  They can be wrong as long as it is w/temps that keep dropping!  I just find it interesting that w/all the new, wonderful tech stuff they have to predict that they don't seem to get it right very much.  Oh well, just stay in the low to mid 90s for the next 7 - 10 days.  Anyone else have weather people that are as accurate???

Weather has been a little crazy here.  We were expecting 104 for Monday & Tues. but the clouds rolled in (the Sun. night news said nothing about clouds until Wed.) & it only got to 97 [Fine by me!! :) ]; we even had a little breeze; the weather guy seemed surprised it occurred.  What is with them not being able to predict it in a 24 hour time period?!!??  Today not to bad & it is to stay in the mid to high 90s for the rest of the week.  Then 101 for Sun - Tues of next week - hey that could change in the next 24 hrs too.   Roy told Mom on Sun that it had poured in their part of ID while at the Reunion. 

How is everyone else doing??
