Here's the Latest

Hey everyone! I haven't written anything in almost two weeks now so I figured it was time to fill you in on some of the things that have been going on here lately.

A couple days after our last post, I took the Graduate Record Examination. It is the equivalent of the SAT for graduate school. I haven't received all of my scores yet but I know I scored ok on the verbal (analogies, antonyms, sentence completion, and reading comprehension), and an almost perfect score on the math portion! WHEW! It was such a relief to finish the exam and see some score that I'm happy with. I still have a few bits and pieces to put together for my grad school applications but they should all be complete by Thanksgiving break.

Heather is getting very excited for the holidays! Getting our Christmas lists together has really gotten her excited to come home to Walla Walla and see everyone. She's already made a few pumpkin pies! Look out guys...she can bake!

Mom and Dad were planning on coming up to Bellingaham this weekend to visit and go to a concert featuring the internationall acclaimed accapella group The Acoustix. Unfortunately, they both ended up with a pretty nasty stint of the flu so they had to stay home. Heather and I went to the concert last night and were blown away! Here's a youtube video of them signing. There are several others online. Of course this doesn't do them justice but hopefully you can see what they are like.

Dearest Tim and Heather,
Hope you all are doing well, life in Boise, ID is good. Eric and Clay are both doing well; Clay is in first grade and is doing well, Eric starts a new job at Dillards this week. I'm still at the drycleaners. It's been a beautiful and mild fall here, winter is approaching and soon the snow will be flying. Please tell me what is happening with you all.
Take care and be safe.
Love to you both,
Aunt Loraine.

Hey guys,
We're so glad you've joined the blog wagon. Congrats Tim on GRE's! I know when I took them last Fall it was not a pleasant experience, but I won't be using that score any time soon so no big deal. We look forward to spending time with you guys over the holidays and tasting some of Heather's baking masterpieces. Love Nicole, Sandy, and Adalie
