Lori and I enjoyed a quick trip to Oregon last weekend to see the finished house and meet the contractors who made it happen. We met many new people and I can honestly say they were all very nice.

Well, if you have not heard Lori and I have been building a home in Sisters, Oregon. Construction was started in Sept. 2007 and is on track to finish by July 19th, 2008. We hope to permanently relocate there in the near future and provide a place where are kids can grow and thrive.

Below are the latest pictures we have from 6/20/08.

Grand Canyon Caverns

We drove to Laughlin this weekend to visit my parents. We decided to take them and the kids to the Grand Canyon Caverns in Peach Springs, AZ. This place is pretty cool. It is 21 stories underground and stays at a constant 56 degrees regardless of the outside temperatures.
