Update from home

I know you all like to have updates from Jon, but his life isn't all that exciting, even though he lives and works in a war zone -- go figure. He has a lot of meetings and conferences and works about 12 hours a day. When he is not working he reads a bit, eats a meal or two, runs 3 miles and that's about it.

Joshua and I, on the other hand, have quite an exciting life. Last Saturday Joshua, his friend Dalton and I went to see "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" moive. If you are under 10 years old or have a child who is that age, it is a fun movie. :) Sunday we had a fabulous time with our friends the Crafts at another friend Amy's house watching the Super Bowl on a TV that used a projector to put the image on a screen that covered one wall of the room -- amazing! And yes, Joshua and I were both cheering for the NY Giants, so we were very happy campers.

This week I have attended one Town Hall meeting at our school to discuss future plans, lead a PTA meeting, spent hours on campus counting money and helping with our school Jog-a-thon and actually jogged around the track with Joshua and his classmates today. Ah, don't you wish you had the life of a PTA President?! :)

This afternoon Joshua and I are headed to our friend Lauri's house. She lives about an hour east of us. We'll spend the night and tomorrow take a tram up the mountains above Palm Springs and play in the snow. Unlike those of you who live in places like Michigan and Minnesota, we have to travel to get the snow, which is just the way I like it.

Hope your lives are just as full of experiences that you enjoy as mine is.

Sheryl
