Loading up and moving out!

Setting up in the new office.

Walk to Defeat ALS, Des Moines, Iowa

I will catch you all up to date as far as what is going on in our lives. Shane started 4th grade this school year, and now is taking violin lessons through Beginning Orchestra at school. Kaylie started 2nd Grade and has a new teacher this year. She is getting used to her, I hear she's not as sweet as her last teacher, and yells more... (per Kaylie)

On September 16th, Jason and I celebrated our 14th Wedding Anniversary. We had a WONDERFUL dinner at Taj Mahal (Indian Cuisine) in Cedar Rapids, and went to a good movie called Extract. A big thanks to Lynneita and Jason for watching the kids for us!

To let our family and friends know, at the end of September, Jason has moved his office to Cedar Rapids in the downtown district. This is a big milestone for him. It's a fresh start in many ways. I am very proud of my husband, he has been so strong through out the years of owning his own company.

On October 10th, our family and our brother-in-law Karl, walked in the Walk To Defeat ALS fundraiser in Des Moines, in honor of our friend Andy Plank. It was a very cold day, and we saw the first snow for the year. But even with the bad weather, the walk still had a lot of attendees. It is a very good cause, let's pray for the cure of ALS to be found!
