A SPECIAL LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS

Rachel who is Raegan's best friend and a dear friend/employee of Jamie's & also a friend of the family was baptized...it was a special night for all of us. Joey & Raegan were able to come home from Utah. Rachel asked Jamie & Raegan to speak at the baptism and both did such a beautiful job! We are so excited for Rachel!!

Bev & I met for lunch, she became my best friend over 40 years ago. When we talk or get together we just pick up where we left off! She said it best..."we sure picked a winner when we decided to be best friends all those years ago. I feel like no time has gone by when I see you and then I look in the mirror and realize it has marched across my face".

I was able to go to dinner with my friend Chin Joo, her husband Tock Ling (who were visiting from Singapore), Bryan & Mom...Chin Joo was my roomate at ASU almost 34 years ago. We haven't seen each other for over 30 years, we had such a great visit!

Jim spent two weeks in the Munds Park area on a bow cow elk hunt...the hunt was unsuccessful but he loved the time he was able to spend outdoors & with his Dad and brothers Larry & Willie.

I went up to Munds Park on Jims last day of his hunt where we celebrated my 52nd birthday...it was an absolutely perfect day enjoying the beautiful outdoors, one of my most favorite places to be!

Jim's brother Willie received the Jason Schechterle Fire Investigator of the Year award, it was a very nice awards banquet...Jim, Jack Ballentine (Jims & Willies boss & author of Murder for Hire), Jason Schechterle & Jim's brother Willie. We are so proud of him!
