Jennifer is staying busy finishing the final touches, working a part time job, and taking care of the family. We are both looking forward to December for our 22 day trip to East Africa. We are going for our ten year anniversary, can you believe it is almost ten years.
Quentin is loving his new school. He has lots of new friends and is being challenged with the new curriculum. The schools here are much tougher than the Colorado school he came from, they rank 2nd in the Country. This will be very good for him.
As for myself, I am busy with work. I have been putting in some long hours to try to get the job up and running. Little time for anything else. This will be one of the most interesting jobs I have ever been on. We are building a sewer overflow tunnel under Portland. It is 80'-165' deep and 22' diameter tunnel that stretched for 6 miles. It is going to be pretty cool. The Tunnel Boring Machine is having the final preparations done at the Herrenknecht plant in Germany before it is shipped to us.
Last weekend we finally got to get away for a little bit, we made it to the waterfalls along the Columbia River. They were really cool even in the winter time. We are looking forward to them in the summer.
We have attended a Winterhawks hockey game up here, it was fun, especially since the tickets were free. We invited our new neighbors to go with us, they are pretty nice,
and again, they have a daughter Quentin's age. We do miss the Avalanche though.This weekend, the fire department burnt down a house about 3 blocks over, Quentin and I went and watched, it was interesting to watch and made me miss doing that on the Fire Department in Evergreen.
All is well and we hope to hear from all of you soon.
