update

Well family, the latest news on me is workin like a maniac travelin all over the US. Am workin out my shoulder since it's the only thing still not in full working order. Saw a doctor today and he sugdested an MRI on my shoulder spacificly cause he is pretty sure I tore my rotator cuff. Which if that turns out to be the problem meens surgery. Personally I don't wanna get cut up but gotta do what I gotta I guess. Gettin old sucks!! LOL

Just a few words about Gma and Gpa and our short trip to the homestead in Montpelier. We went there the weekend of General Conference and spent 3 days. It was quite a lot of fun as always. We both really enjoy the town and people. The picture here is one of the fun things we did. We decided to go exploring and found ourselves in Soda Springs about 30 miles from our house. This is a picture of the gyser that is in the middle of town. It goes off every hour on the hour. It is controlled by a timer installed when they decided to cap it off. It was fun to see. When we get the chance to be there together we will have to see it all together. We met a retired couple there that was fun to talk to and really made us want to get retired so we could enjoy the same things.
This is a picture of the front of the homestead. We really are pleased with it and are looking forward to moving in. We are progressing toward it. Tomorrow we sign papers with a Realtor who is going to list our house. We are pretty confident that because of the type property it is that it should sell fairly easily. Who knows, we may be homeless in a couple of weeks. I really would be a transient Bishop then.
Hope you enjoy the latest update.
Love to all Gma & Gpa

Gavin update

So, latest word is he is in a shelter back in Portland. Confirmed by Justin, the guy he came here with. I guess they are trying to get a place together again. 

 Just wanted to let everyone know the latest.

Kind of fun news Emily got an article she wrote published in the register guard. Here is a link to the article if you would like to read it.

I am not sure where she got to be so opinionated from????? Not one of my children.

Gavin update

I was about ready to file a missing person report, but decided to call his friends again first to see if they'v heard anything. 

One friend said, he hasn't personally talked to him but a co-worker has and she said Gavin went back to Portland.

I hope that is confirmation that he is ok and just going back to where he feels more comfortable.

That is all I have for now.

thanksgiving

I Just told Mom yesterday that I would do Thanksgiving at my house this year. All are welcome. Let me know.

Thanksgiving?

So, I always seem to be the one to ask first, but does anyone have any idea what they are doing for Thanksgiving? 

I would like to come down to Eugene with my crowd if the family is getting together. I am willing to host if you all would like to come here.

What about you boys? Any plans to join family for Thanksgiving or Christmas? I'd love to see any or all of you. It's been a while, especially Shane and Jared.

Thoughts?

Gavin

So, I figured this is the place to let everyone know what is going on so I would update you on Gavin.

Basically, he is missing again.

I'm not sure where he is or if he has a place to stay or what.

Last I knew he was staying with a friend in Seattle. He had a job. I talked to him and he sounded up beat.

Then his friend calls me to tell me he quit his job and moved out of the apartment. When I went on-line to contact him through my space, I found is account was closed. This was two weeks ago.

I've e-mailed Jonathan to ask him to let me know if Gavin contacts him, but I don't have anything else I can do now but pray.

Hi all, here is a video of me at our last scout camp. They had a pigeon shooting deal set up, so I grabbed the 12 gauge and hit 4 out of 5. Not bad for a guy who has never done that before. I know it has been forever since I updated my blog but I have just put up some things for you all to check out. Alida and I are doing pretty good. School is OK I am learning new things every time I go so I suppose that means it is working. I hope to be attending the University of Indiana in the fall term of 2009. Hope all is well with everyone. Between Jareds accident and Mariskas surgery, I hope we are at an end to pain and suffering for a while in the family. We love you all.

Aaron, Alida and Mali
