weekend update

eli's halloween sneak peak: werewolf
as forecasted, snow this weekend
they did it!
dipping their feet on the other side

SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS: size 40, brand spanking new, worn once, maybe


**i am doing some serious closet purging and came across 2 pairs of boots i bought last year. size 40 {10}, i wear a 9/9.5 and these fit nice with the 40. there is a black pair and a chocolate pair. i think i have worn the black pair once. the chocolate pair has never been worn. yours: $40 a pair. they just need a good home. any takers? first come, first serve.**


OK. very serious things went on this weekend. *we had the dusting of snow that was forecasted. still went on my walk. i roll that way. *we collected food for the church's annual "city-wide food drive". i believe it was last year that we set the world record for the most food collected in a single day on a food drive. go calgary. *i found a great halloween costume for eli. it's a bit early but it was the perfect motivation/inspiration for the rest of our costumes. eli will be a werewolf and the rest of us will be other classic halloween characters. *i got the letter. yes, the letter that was sent from the U.S. consulate in montreal stating i could make an appointment/interview for my green card. we have been anticipating this letter for the last couple of months. it got me all freaked out and uptight about the thought of selling a house, packing, moving, house-hunting, new schools, new ward, setting up utilities, banking, finding health care, taxes, blah, blah, blah.... it is now very real and good and bad and happy and sad and exciting and terrifying. i think my interview date will be in the first week of november. c.j. is leaving on tuesday for a music gig in las vegas on the weekend. he is driving to l.a. to scout out homes in claremont again, so his visit is timely as we need "evidence of domicile" documentation by my interview date. i feel like the logistics of all of this will be nutty. i guess we will see how it plays out. *mum and dad finished their long walk across england. from their pictures it looked like a seriously hardcore trek. i am just so proud of them and their accomplishment. just terrific.

Great news about "the letter", what they put you through is very interesting. I guess that's why people just walk across and are illegal.

Congratulations to your great parents...what an accomplishment.

Good to see a sneak peak at the Halloween costume, we are looking forward to CJ's visit. Good luck with the boots and all.

Love, Kathy

Cute costume, cute boots, wonderful trek, and WE LOVE CLAREMONT!!

We may be moving ourselves, however, out of state, and so we may miss you again for the next 10 years.

If you happen to be in Claremont, though, let us know and stop by and see us! Tell CJ the same -- we'd love to see you all!

Wish I was your size, those boots are cute! Wish I was going to hear CJ this weekend. I've given Dave instructions to video tape it for a classic youtube post! Wish you guys were coming with him!
