Out with the Old ...In with the New Year!

 As we welcome in 2011 I thought I would take some time and document what we did in 2010!

Ryan is a Senior at Moscow High School and turns 18 in a few days.  He got his driver's license this year and has become our personal chauffeur and deliver driver!  He just started working at Dominoes and is looking forward to saving up some money to move out this summer with a friend.  He had some health issues with his bladder and kidneys that we finally have gotten resolved.

Jared is doing great and is back home with us. He is still into WarHammer and spends hours putting his models together and painting them. He is also making a custom Chopper Bike and is learning how to weld and work on bikes with a friend who operates a bike shop out of his garage.

  He also went to Seattle to hang out with friends and attend the Sakura-Con convention (an Anime Convention - that his friends were more into than he was; but he had a great time anyway!!)  Dave and I drove him up there and got to spend the weekend at the Hotel 1000 and made a little mini weekend just for ourselves! 

We also met up with my Cousin, Mark in Seattle and had a wonderful time catching up with him.

Dave is still working at the University of Idaho as a Network Manager in the ITS Department. 

His latest obsessions, oh I mean hobbies are his new car, World of Warcraft and photography.   Dave and I were able to get away this past June to Port Townsend and spent a week just hanging out at
our Discovery Bay Timeshare.

We still have Charlie and Sraps. Charlie is getting up there in years, but is still doing good. The boy's got two cats for their birthdays last year, Smoky and Mischief. Sadly, we lost Mischief a couple of months ago after she was hit by a car. That was really hard on all of us, as we had really gotten attached to her.

I still have my Scrapbook Store in Pullman, Wa and spend a lot of time working.

 I have started making Artist Trading Cards and have done a lot of trading with people all over the world through Swap-bot and Flickr.  We also have a local group that meets at the store and at the Quilted Moose (a local Quilt Shop) to trade. 

We had a Scrapbook Retreat last February at the Palouse Divide Lodge and have another one planned this February. This is such a great time for me to work on my own scrapbooks and have a relaxing time away from the store and work.

I am still teaching lots of stamping and art classes at the store and am looking forward to
creating more art with my friends!

Other than that - we have had an OK year.
I am looking forward to this New Year and hope it is a good one!
