They get their smarts from their dad, their goodlooks from their mom

Joe was just in a science competition sponsored by Entergy Nuclear. There were 10 teams from all over the county that participated in this competition. Joe's team, lead by Joe, won 1st prize! they built a model and made plans that would change the way the intake tunnel would bring water from Lake Ontario into the plant, that would save the plant several million dollars. They each won $1000 and a medal and there is a trophy that Joe has. The people from the plant took Joe's power point Cd. It was very exciting. I am very proud.

Here comes the Bride

Deseree got married on October 25th to Matthew Wyatt (We call him Wyatt). It was a beautiful event. They were married in the Logan Utah LDS Temple and had a reception in Providence Utah that evening. All my family was able to be there. We are very happy for Des and Wyatt. Sam was still on his mission at the time, but they got married in his mission boundaries so he was allowed to attend the ceremony. Joe was the best man, Marissa was the flower girl, Des' 2 friends Natalie Pace and Tiffany Peck were Bridesmaids.
Thanks to all family and friends that helped make it special!
We had a small open house in NY in Dec. to celebrate with friends here.

Mr. Toad's wild ride

I know that I have told everybody about my wreck, but it was very impactful in my life.
I was driving along the rode at work in the 15 passenger van when a lady ran a stop sign and hit just behind the drivers door, flipping the van on its roof on a guardrail. I slid down the guardrail for about 8 feet and then slid off and landed on the side. It was very surreal. I looked around and thought ok what now. I turned off the van and undid my seat belt falling to the passenger door. looking around I decided that the only way out was through the back door so I crawled along the roof and some how got the back door open and climbed out. I was very blessed! I had some glass in my hand and a stiff neck, that was all. They did take me to the hospital in an ambulance, but they didn't even use the siren. I had x-rays and tests but other than being quite shook up I was fine. I do get harassed at work though. Some time I will tell you about the spiritual things that took place.
