Hello Again!

It's been over four months since I blogged. Since then our son, Erik, his wife Cheryl, and son Logan have moved in with us. They live in the basement. Cheryl is expecting a second boy in September. We are all excited for that. Erik is a very hard worker, working two jobs, weekdays at Home Depot and Saturdays and Sundays (and sometimes one night) at the help desk at Novell in Provo. He hopes to be able to get on there full time some day. That would be great! Right now he is planning on going back to school in the fall to get his master's degree in the computer field.

Gary has worked at Novell for many years. In June ACS, a big computer company with headquarters in Texas, took over his department. He still has the same job at the same place, for which we are very grateful. Because of this Gary lost his six weeks' vacation time with Novell. He got reimbursed instead. Now he has to start accumulate four weeks' vacation time with ACS, so right now he does not have any time off. This means that we will probably not go on a trip anywhere. He might just take a day off here and there to golf or go fishing. I have four days left of my vacation.

Anna started a new job in May. She had worked at a real estate office for many years. She is an RN. He new job is at the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. They had about 60 applicants for the position and she was chosen. She is very good at whatever she does.

It's already been four years since we went to Europe (Switzerland, Germany, and Sweden.) We went with our children and their spouses. The weather was great and we enjoyed it a lot. Gary has said that he will never fly again, so next time I want to go over there, I either have to go alone or take my child(ren). I would like to take Logan with me in a couple of years and stay a whole summer so he can pick up the Swedish language.
