Jamie and I are back from our Christmas trip to Iowa. Once again, it was productive and fun! We actually did an over-night on our way to IA (we stayed in Kearney, NE). This allowed us to partake in some Christmas celebrations in Omaha with Jamie’s Grandparents, a couple of aunts, uncles, and cousins. The white elephant gift exchange was truly something. After Omaha we kept on driving to Fort Dodge.

We had quite the Thankgiving trip this year. We started out on Saturday driving to Ft. Dodge to visit with Jim and Sharon. We spent a few days visiting and eating well. On Wednesday, we drove to Omaha to catch a flight to New York. We celebrated Thanksgiving with my mom and dad, brother and sister-in-law-ish, and a couple of nephews. Lisa cooked a great meal and my mom cooked some great dessert.

Jamie and I traveled to Fort Dodge, IA, for Christmas this year. It was great to spend time with Jamie’s family, as we’ve been spending Christmas with Tim’s family in recent years. Jodie and Nico joined us in Iowa. We’ve actually spent Christmas for the last few years with Jodie and Nico. It’s almost a tradition (besides watching Elf)! Christmas day we started a new tradition… movies! The 6 of us couldn’t decide on a single movie, so we split up.

So long to an old friend

With a saddened heart, it pains me to say that we had to put Gali down on Sunday, June 27th. Gali was part of our lives for the better part of 10 years. We like to think he lived a long and joyful life (although I’m sure he’d say different).

Jamie and I flew back to New York for Christmas again this year. As always, we had a great time. The worst part about the trip was that we didn’t get to spend much time with my Dad. He was in the hospital for about a week. He’s out, which is good

Shortly after the Christmas party (are you sensing a theme here?), we headed to New York to celebrate Christmas with my family. As a treat to ourselves, Jamie and I spent the first two nights in midtown Manhattan. What a blast! Jamie usually drags me into the city kicking and screaming (I’m not a big fan of commuting in, walking around all day, and commuting back). This was a very different experience since we had a lot more time to do stuff.

I’m finally getting around to posting pictures from last year (sorry). The holiday season kicked off when Jamie’s sister, Jodie, brother-in-law, Nico, and their exchange student, Komal, came out to Colorado for Thanksgiving. We had a great time with them, and we hope they had a great time too! Jamie did lots of entertaining that week since I had to work 3 days. Jamie’s Dad, Jim, joined us for a few days too.

Jamie and I flew to Long Island to spend Thanksgiving with my family. We had a great trip, albeit a short one. We flew in on Wednesday and out on Saturday. Since I started my new job I don’t have any time off… we were sad we couldn’t stay longer.

Update on Dad

Although his pathology report came back clean, the surgeon recommended chemotherapy and radiation. He’ll be getting about 5 days of treatment each month until July. This is stricly precautionary though, so that’s good. Hopefully they won’t be very high doses. After July, he’ll have some recovery time before they go in a reconnect everything. It’s a bit more time than we orginally thought, but everything seems to be on some kind of schedule at least.

Good news for my Dad. He’s back home from the hospital and recovering nicely. He’s trying to take advantage of the 25lbs (!!) he lost too. He’s watching what he eats. Of course, I’m sure the doctors have a hand in that too. The pathology came back clean so that’s a really good thing. He’ll go back in a few months to have everything reattached to thier proper places. Sean and Veronica came out to Colorado this past weekend.

I just got back from New York. Unfortunately, my father had to have a tumor removed from his colon on Wednesday. He’s recovering well; he should be out of the hospital in about week. In about two months he’ll have to go back in for another operation. That one won’t be as bad though. They’ll just have to reconnect his colon (his lower colon is disconnected so it can heal). The prognosis is also very good.

2005 Holiday Season

Well, we’ve had a busy holiday season!

For Christmas, we drove down to Apache Junction to visit with Jamie’s Dad and his girlfriend. Jim bought a trailer home with plenty of room for him and his horses. Apache Junction is an interesting place. It’s population is unbelievebly old white people, heh. It’s a cool place if you ever get the chance to visit. Although you might not want to believe someone if they tell you everyplace has a fish special every Wednesday night. shrugs

Wow... what a trip. Jamie and I just got back from a trip to the Pacific NorthWest. It was a blast. We went to Seattle, Yakima to see Jodie and Nico, and to Portland to see Paul and Leisa.

We enjoyed Seattle a lot. The weather wasn't too bad either! It was a bit humid though.

Well here we are. A brand new year! I wonder what will change, and what will remain the same. Our year went pretty well. We did some fun things, and at least we ended it in good health! As my previous update said, Jamie went to Disney in October with her sister Jodie and brother-in-law Nico. She had lots of fun and I finally put up her pictures. In November we flew back to New York for Thanksgiving.

Yet another update… well what do you know. As usual, there’s not much to report. We’ve been busy with work and school. I had a small break recently, which was nice. Now I’m back in though. Luckily I’ll have half of November and all of December off. Then it’s back in for two more classes and I’ll be done! Yeah! Jamie’s also keeping busy. She really enjoys many of her jobs!

Jamie and I spent this past weekend in Phoenix, AZ. Jamie’s dad, Jim, has spent the last two January’s in a little town called Apache Junction. It’s a quaint little cowboy town (complete with people wearing handguns at the Wal-Mart!), perfectly suited for Jim and Geraldine (his new mule). Sharon was there to keep them both company. We stayed with our good friends Lindsay and Jonathan Cavner the first two night, and we spent the last night with our good friends Phill and Autumn Miller.
