Family Update

We are here in Las Vegas, NV where the weather is extremely HOT and the nights are not nearly long enough. Latrisa's mom was able to help her in the move, in fact she drove the whole way down in the moving truck... A HUGE HELP for Latrisa. Jason was happy that Latrisa and Jessica didn't have to make the trip alone. We are slowly finding our place here and settling in. Jason is really enjoying his job and likes the DR that he works for, who is just like Jason and only months different in age. He is still trying to narrow down his choices for school, but we aren't in a huge hurry, because we need to live here for a full year before we can pay in-state tuition. That will save us almost $10,000.00 a year. Latrisa is staying home with Jessica for now, but is planning to go back to work soon. Self employment oportunities are very limited compared to Idaho, so until she can find one that suits her the way small animal breeding did, she will plan to work out of the house while Jessica is in school. Jessica is on waiting lists for 3 or 4 different magnet schools in the area. One of the magnet schools we have friends going to, so it would be great if we could get her in. We will see how it goes. Jessica is also swimming also everyday in the pool that is conveniently located in our backyard. What a blessing that has become. We have been able to spend some good quality time with Art and Deb, Briauna, Jenni and Adam, and to even catch up with some friends that we lost touch with. It has been a great experience to be back here so far. Las Vegas has changed so much in the years we were gone. We are amazed at the amount of change that can occur over such a short amount of time. I think that is all for now. We will write more when we have more to write about.

I was wondering how things were going! I'm glad you are able to save some money and settle in. :) We miss you!
