Family Reunion

So Mom and I are planning the family reunion in the summer of 2009. For those who do not know the details it will be in the mountains here in California. The place is called Big Bear, California. There is a huge lake, and lots of hiking trails. It's really beautiful up there. We have a time share up there and we are using 3 units. Two 3-bedroom units and one 2-bedroom unit. That should be enough space for everyone. Also the dates of the reunion will be Thursday June 25, 2009 through Sunday June 28th. This should be plenty of time to find a good price on tickets.

Here is the deal. My house is only about 15 minutes from the airport, but the time share is about an hour from my house so the best way of doing this is everyone come either Wednesday evening or thursday morning so we can go up together and make one trip to the mountains. We will have ample car space. Mom will be renting a mini van and we have two 7-seater vehicles and one 4 seater (however Ryan will be using one of them if he has to work). Check-in is at 3pm on Thursday. Then on Sunday check out is at noon - so we will all caravan down the mountain. I will find a ward (I know there is one somewhere) up there for those who would like to attend church.

That is pretty much it so far for the details. We still need to work out activities and things, but this is just the important stuff. We will also mail out an itinerary the closer it gets to this.

I am really excited for this and it's going to be tons of fun for everyone! I hope to see everyone there, but we will understand if it doesn't work out. Let me or mom know if you have any ideas for activities. (Yes we will be renting a motor boat for water skiing on one day).

Moving again!!!

So I know it's been a while since i posted anything. A lot has happened since then. We are moving! (Yes - again). I think it might be the Kjelstrom curse :) . We are finally buying a house here in So. Cal. It's the time to buy. House prices have dropped an average of $200,000. However, in the house we are in now the owner still wants the same amount it was worth at the peak of the market ($700,000). Needless to say, we are moving. We found a cute little house on top of a hill with one acre that will be perfect for us. We are about 10 days in escrow and really excited about it. If your interested in seeing the house this link will take you to pictures.

There should be a lot more to say after the move. Right now, though, we are SUPER busy with packing and moving and buying a house stuff.
