Al, Michele, Anthony, Nathan, and Olivia are all up on Mount Bachelor skiing this week. Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah, David and Gladys Christie, Ron and Donna Floyd, Luis, Susan, and Brett Rodriguez, and the Douma family who go go to meeting with Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah will all be up there for the week. We are all quite sad we could not be there, too, but we knew we had the choice of moving to Texas or not going skiing. We could not do both. We made the right decision. Who knows whether Lavan Jampa would have been able to get to meeting or Beto, Denise, and their family, either. Nevertheless, we are going to do the best we can to make sure we can go next year. In the meantime, Al Rizos has invited us to San Diego this summer for a week to got to surfing camp. We will try to do that, too. Christian made the comment that the skiing is great, but the time spent with all of their friends is be best part about being there. We all agreed with him.
