Quiet Christmas...

Hello Everybody,
Just a few thoughts as we get ready for Santa tonight. This Christmas seems rather strange to me. It is my first Christmas in 23 years that there will be no Children at home on Christmas morning. No bright eyes and big childish grinns when they see all the gifts that Santa left. The fun the excitement, the noise of children. I feel a little sad. But on a brighter side. Sherryl and I will get to celebrate Christmas together alone for the first time since we met. It is still kind of strange, not to have any kids, living at home. They call what I'm experiencing "The empty nest syndrome." I got one in Iraq, one in California and one that lives here in the Salt Lake Valley.

Ya, Whatever I miss my kids!
It's too QUIET around here!

1 Week 'til Christmas!

Hello Everybody! Well It's almost Christmas! Can you believe it? 1 Week from today. This year has gone by so fast. We have been to two company Christmas parties, got trashed down at Henry's Inn. All in the last 3 days. Boogey 'til you puke! It's been alot of fun. Sherryl and I, Wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We also are praying for a more Peaceful 2007, for the whole world!

Thanksgiving in Elko Nevada

Hello All,
Well I tried to upload a few of our pictures from Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad's (Steve & Lynett (Martha Sled) Snyder) in Elko Nevada. For some reason it won't let me. But I'll keep trying. We had a great time. I'll get some of the pictures up here ASAP.
