No hurricane damage in Utah

I feel a little left out because we have been having a beautiful fall. We've had a little rain and wind, but nothing that would constitute a significant storm. We are glad the Texans are okay and I am impressed that Newel's family could go a week without power. I'm sure that would be a huge challenge.

We are just plugging along. Creed is working full time now at the car dealership and also playing soccer several times a week. It is quite different now that he is playing at an adult level. There are some big strong bodies and some major collisions.

The past two Saturday's I've left right after his morning games to drive to
Wyoming to hunt antelope. My area is near Evanston so it is only a two-hour drive. I haven't shot one yet because I am looking for a really big one. I hope I get lucky soon. Anette went with me last Saturday and it rained on us much of the time so we did not see as many antelope as usual.

Jenine and Brandon are now living in their own apartment in north Orem. We added one more person to our household though. Parker Edwards' family used to live in our neighborhood but moved to Washington two years ago. Now they are trying to relocate back to Utah. Parker is living with us so he could go to school here and not have to switch. Parker has been a friend of Creed's for many years.

We are all looking forward to Harvey's sealing in a few weeks. He was with us much of yesterday. He is a happy boy and I think he must be powered by Energizer batteries that never run down. He knows how to tease and I think Anette is going to be a frequent victim.

Thanks for the birthday cards and wishes. I'm feeling old a lot lately--especially after moving hay or digging holes.

We're glad everyone survived the storms.
