Update on where the family is

Mark is in Japan right now. He is trying to follow up on some contacts in the film industry he made there last year. He is going to teach English and also do some free-lance editing/film work. We miss him but know that he is following his dream, so we are behind him 100%.
Jodie and Tim just celebrated their first anniversary. Congratulations!!!! They still act like they got married last week. They are both very busy with work and school.
Jeff is loving his new job at the Timpanogos Medical Center in Orem. He moved his family here about 3 months ago and we are loving having them close by at last. Melanie is very busy. The kids are growing and the new twins are darling.
Keri is living in Salt Lake City and teaching. She is also getting involved with a foundation which helps refugees who come to the area. She is very excited about that.
Katie and Steve moved to Ohio where Steve is doing medical internship. He loves it. Katie loves her new ward and the new adventures. They will be there until next year when they move on to Ann Arbor Michigan to do 3 years of residency there.
Tracy and Frank are doing great in Charlotte, NC. Their girls are growing too fast. Frank has his own advertising production business and is getting more work that he can handle.
Alex has about 3 months left on his mission in Atlanta. He has absolutely loved his mission and doesn't want to come home, but we are going out there in January and will drag him onto the plane.
Tyler is 17 now and is a junior in high school. He is driving, dating, learning jazz piano and is getting ready for the ACT at the end of this month.
Winn is going to London at the beginning of next month and will stop off and see Katie and Tracy on his way.
You know what I am doing.......blogging!

Here's a new beginning

Hi to all y'all. I've tried this before and couldn't get beyond first base with it. Hopefully this will work and I can update you from time to time. We are going into the Holidays already. I can't believe it. Soon the snow will by flying (it already has in fact) and we will be praying for spring to arrive. Life is good though. We had a lovely trip a couple of months ago to Europe. I will include my prized photo of a windmill. We did 11 countries in 16 days....whew! Next trip is just for me to go see Tracy and Katie. Then.....in 3 1/2 months (January) to pick up Alex from his mission!!! Not that I am excited or anything....
I will try to keep this updated with any and all information over the next while Love to all, Carol/MOM
