Well, only one more day trip to Vegas and we can say we are for sure moving to Boise in December. The trip to Vegas is to have some interviews at Southwest Gas and see their office. The company in the Boise area is actually in Meridian which is a few miles West of Boise. It looks like a great area to live and there are a lot of good opportunities with Keller Associates to get a great start to our post college, and net positive income life.

Anne played BYU tonight and just about stole a game from them. But they did lose in three straight. BYU is ranked #15 and is a very good team. I am proud of how they did. They are still doing really well this season and are looking forward to the rematch with Northern Colorado this Friday, but this time at UVSC. Tonight was sort of a different experience for me. I found myself chearing for BYU's opponent rather than BYU. When they sang the fight song after the first game it felt wierd not to rise and shout with the rest of the crowd. But of course I couldn't. I leaned over to a father of one of Anne's teamate who is also an alumni of BYU an mentioned that it just goes against the grain to not join in. But Anne makes sure I have my priorities straight when it comes to BYU volleyball.

Anyways, Anne is doing awesome in school. She called me today after her classes and was very excited to tell me that she has all A's and one B in her classes. She's a natural at school. My classes are going just fine, but the thesis research just keeps dragging on and on. I enjoy learning with the research, but I do eventually want to get it finished and written. Just so you all know, the Stinchfields aren't the only reason I can't wait for Call of Duty 2 to come out. My fellow students in the office and myself usually get a game together at the end of the work day. It's a blast when you can get four computers in a line playing the same game together. Anne is great to put up with the extra half hour I spend at school sometimes to play.

Well, we just finished watching sisterhood of the traveling pants with Anne's commentary throughout pointing out how it is different than the books. She just found out in the writer's bonus interview that there will be a fourth book and she is beaming now with excitement.

We're very excited to hear that Mike and all will be going to Italy. You can count on a visit from the Olsen's during that three year time. Take care all, Tracy our thoughts and prayers are with you.
