Ok Family
I guess it is my turn…….

Greetings from the “City of Sin”.  The state of Nevada has decided not to secede from the Union, but instead, refused to let President Obama stay in any of our hotels on his recent trip to Nevada.  It really was quite funny, as he wanted to stay on the Strip, but after finding out they would have to close three floors off, no one would take him.  He ended up in a Westin off of Sahara….Tee hee.  Serves him right for his comment about people wasting their money in Vegas.

Things are going well here.  My new  boss (Howard) is a nice guy.  He is very different from Tom, in management style as well as in experience.  This has been a good transition for me.  I miss Tom, but this change seems to be good.  Outside of that, our work moves forward.

Roderick is doing great!!!! He just got his senior pictures taken.  You can check them out on Melissa or my facebook page.  He looked awesome, but was a total pill.  He was not happy with the clothes he had to wear and so he barely cracked a grin.  Regardless, he looks awesome and is doing great!.  He passed all his proficiencies and it looks like he will be graduating in June!  He is still thinking about going on a mission and recently signed at Eastern Arizona.  It is a junior college and I think he is in heaven.  He was so nervous about the expectations of school at a Div. 1 school.  I think the pressure was at times - overwhelming for him.  The BYU coach was great and actually got him the scholarship to EA. He talked with him about his grades and really said that if he does well there, BYU is in line to move him up.  He is going to be a Gila Monster!!!!!  He is very excited.  I just wish Becky and Adam were still there. 

Let’s see – Melissa is good.  She is doing well in her school.  Her principal is still a pain, but they seem to have worked out a way to mutually deal with each other.  Melissa ignores her and she ignores Melissa.  For the time being it is working great!

I sure love you guys and hope you are all doing well.
