We've had a busy 2008! Biff is still working in the lab and in Dec. 07 he became 1st counselor in the Bishopric so he's been on the go. Kim is still working at the school and my new calling is Family History Consultant so I've been doing lots of geneology, it's been fun.

We started out Jan. 08 driving to Modesto, Ca. to go to Eric's wedding. He married Julianne in the Oakland Temple in the middle of the worst rain storm we've ever seen so no outside pics were taken but they had 2 beautiful receptions in Modesto and Kennewick. They are going to school at BYU I and we just found out they are expecting a baby in July.

Sandy & Sean had been living with us since July 07 so Sandy could get her Masters in Education , which she did in June, and Sean was pursuing his degree in law enforcement. In March he was hired by Othello Police Dept. and went into the Police Academy in Seattle . He was gone weekdays and came home weekends to see his family. He graduated in Aug., and they bought a house that same month and moved in. Sandy also got a 1st grade teaching job. Their kids are 4 and 2.
