Well that is great Juliette but I really wanted you to move to Reno so I would have family closer.
Well we have decided to go to Utah for Joey's thing but we have to go early we are going to get there Thurs. and we have to leave Sat. Andy has to get back by Sat night for work on Sun. We would love to see you all. We got a hotel at the Fairfield the same one that used to be the Travelodge. For Friday night. Thanks to Angela we got the room for $64 they quoted me $74 until I asked about other family. So they gave me the same rate. Thanks Ang.
Well, it looks like we might be going to Kansas!!! Chris got an e-mail yesterday from the professor he is looking to sponsor him, and he wants to fly him out for a visit! We take that as a good sign that he will be accepted. This is also the school that has the best offer (full tuition waiver and $18,000 stipend). Also, we found out this morning, talking to the institute secretary at KSU that this professor, Alan Knapp is LDS. Out of 2 wards in the whole area, Dr. Knapp is in her ward! :) That is a very good sign that he will be more understanding of family and church responsibilities, in addition to graduate school work. We haven't recieved an "official" acceptance letter yet, but hope to know for sure very soon.

Ben, I am sorry I have neglected the Blooger as well. I am trying to get graduated soon and work. I asked for it, as usual life on the edge is great! I vote for June. Anywhere from the 7th on. Scout camp isn't until the latter part of July (over the 24th) and Trek is the 12,13 and 14 of June. Other than that we are open. It would be great to do it over a long weekend versus during the week days due to Dan's time off work. We will do whatever. Some ideas...your house sounds great! Vegas isn't the best for little kids but we could meet soewhere. Someone needs to plot the coordinates of everyone and pick a spot right in the middle and then go to the nearest spot of civilization and have party, invite everyone and have a contest ot see who can show up first. Call me Ben, I have some ideas and connections. We can talk. As far as the rest of you please feel free to pitch in ideas.
