Thanksgiving Climbing in Southern Illinois (So Ill)

We enjoyed a few days of bouldering/sport climbing in Southern Illinois with Jamie, Josh, Jon, Gabriel, and Drew. The weather was perfect for climbing! Then we headed to Des Moines for Turkey-day.

Please keep Dave's family in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of Grandma Petts.

St. Lucia

Jamie has just found out that she will be going to a village in St. Lucia (in the Caribbean) to work on a Community Based Health Care Intervention in Decemeber and January with three other people from the University of Iowa...hooray for great opportunities!

A Beautiful Fall Day

10-29-06

So we made a sad day slightly better by going climbing for a short round of bouldering to remind us about the good things in life...it was gorgeous weather. We followed that with a study session at a coffee shop. The colors were too good to pass up the photo opportunity. Enjoy...

But please keep Jamie's cousin Lauren in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers, as well as her family, and Martin's family.

Redemption

So I had to redeem myself because I was getting so much crap about Dave's pepper plants doing better than mine...now for the record (as the pictures show) we are tied...each with six plants!

Success!

We had two successes this past week! Dave's new pepper plant is starting to sprout...hopefully mine will be on it's way soon. Also, on the wedding front, we hired a photographer! Sadly, Jamie's Great-Grandma died on Sunday evening so we will be heading north for the visitation and funeral.

Decorah Trip 9-23-06

We spent last weekend canoeing/kayaking in Decorah on the Upper Iowa River. We met up with Skip and DeDe, Steve and Jane, Ron and Bonnie, Heather and Ryan and Parker, Adam and Jenny (plus dogs) on Friday, enjoyed the river and weather on Saturday, had a nice breakfast both mornings, and had fun gallivanting around the orchard and gardens at Seed Savers.

Weekend of Sept. 15

We had a wonderful weekend seeing lots of friendly faces.

Friday Skip and Adam came to Iowa City for the Iowa vs. Iowa State game (dare we ask who won?). It was great to see them!

Saturday we travelled to Des Moines. Jamie got to see Jessica off for her last homecoming - she was beautiful! Then there was a celebration at Rick and Lori's house for their 25th Wedding anniversary...what fun seeing so many friends and family!

Sunday we met with a potential photographer for the wedding.

We'll be adding more photos of this weekend soon!
