Post Thanksgiving

Had a nice thanksgiving weekend. We did dinner at Steph's Dad's and dessert at Steph's Mom's. It was nice and relaxing.
We have been talking alot lately about where we are going to live in the future. We have a lease on our home thru March and though we love Farmington, we don't know if we will renew it or relocate. My employment/income situation has a lot to do with that. I am working towards a home office arrangement. That would really open up the options as to where we could live. I'll keep you posted. The leading candidates at the moment are Hatch, Utah; Cedar City, Utah; and Morgan/Porterville, Utah.
Another motivation is to be near George Wythe College and further educational opportunities. I feel compelled to continue my education and become involved in statesmanship and mentoring projects.
We got a great new toy the other day. Over the holiday I took Kessie part way up Farmington canyon and on a big ride around town. It has been really fun. I can see doing some longer rides this next summer with a kid in tow.
I have been riding the trainer a bit, playing Ultimate Frisbee and joined an indoor soccer team. I got out for a group ride on Thanksgiving morning with the Route Veloce boys and it was nice. I am not at the top of my game, but I am fitter than I thought. We have hockey practice tomorrow night, followed by a indoor game. It should be a lot of fun!

Update

Fall is in full swing. We celebrated the big pagan festival the other night and gorged on candy. Good times. I am rethinking my view of Halloween. I think the family is going to dinner and a movie next year.
I just got a sweet minoura mag trainer off of craigslist, so I guess I won't have any excuse on staying fit.
We checked out the cross race at the Fairgrounds last night and it looks really cool. I'm gonna try and race out their in the next 2 weeks.
November gets me thinking about recommitting to my fitness improvement. I am so not at a a place right now to follow a really structured training plan. I wanna have fun, not freeze to death doing 5 hours on the road.
I am thinking about creating and office work out video, featuring cubicle friendly exercises and stealth training techniques.
Who wouldn't want to pay $50 for a DVD about how to work out in your cubicle with out breaking a sweat?

In other news, Kade started his hockey lesson's last week. He also bought himself some skates. This is the real deal! It will be fun to watch his skills progress. Now if they could just hurry up and finish the S. D. Rec Center!! The Ice Sheet is cool, but it's a long way away.

Kannon has taken the Alien thing to a whole new level lately. He bought an alien costume for Halloween and has now watched, listened too and read 3 different versions of The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells and the Mercury Theater.

Kessie and I went milking together this morning. She is such a peach. I'm waking her at 6:00 a.m. to go out into the cold and dark and milk a stinky cow and she is as chipper as can be. Her reading is coming along really well.

Kolby is thawing out from the trick-or-treating. In my rush to get out the door, he went out into the 30 degree weather wearing nothing but a very thin batman costume. He was chilly! One quick trip around the block and back home!

Klara was excited about all the candy. She is still eating it. She is a total daddies girl. It is awesome! She will hardly let me set her down when I get home in the evening.

Steph has been having more digestive woes as of late. She is going to see an iridologist next week to see what they he can tell her. The poor girl! It has been so frustrating for her to be sick so often in the past few months. It is killing me to see her so ill. Please join me in praying for her.
