It is the end of another good year. It was actually a pretty eventful year and the very first year where I wrote something in my blog about every week. Our little business, Quality Corners grew again this year by over 40% and we have prospects to grow at least that much again in 2006. Homeschool is going great. After a light schedule for a month due to our move from Oregon to Texas and two weeks off due to Christmas break, we are primed and ready to go again on January 2, 2006. The Lorena and the kids are starting to make friends with some of the kids from church. We are going to the Sorenson’s house in Rockwall, Texas to celebrate the New Year a little early. Karen Sorenson came by the apartment yesterday to bring Lorena a blender to make salsa for the party. Lorena’s folks are planning to visit from Monterrey for a few days. All in all, life is good.

My goal for today is to find dentist, an orthodontist, a library, and a swimming pool. That really should not be too hard in this part of the world. Maybe we can even go visit the library tomorrow.

Update:

Lorena talked on the telephone during lunch today. We came up with a list of stuff we need to find to get back to where we were in Oregon. I am sure the list will grow. Here it is:

  • The closest public library
  • A dentist
  • A doctor
  • A swimming pool that gives swimming lessons
  • Tennis lessons
  • Art classes
  • An orthodontist
  • A piano teacher for Kelly
  • A guitar/saxophone/clarinet teacher (depending on what Christian decides he wants to learn to play)
  • A community college for Lorena
