I realize that Michele's eyes are closed in this picture but I'm sure she'll forgive me for using it because it's such a great shot.
Michele’s son Shayne and his girlfriend Alyson are doing great. Their condo should be ready to move into next summer. Alyson is currently a manager at a Rogers Video downtown, while Shayne has started work with Upside Software Inc. Kristina, Ted and Emma will be moving back to Cold Lake at the end of October. They have very much enjoyed living in Banff but they have found that it’s more important to them to be closer to their family. They both have jobs lined up already.
Ted will
be back at the flower shop where he learned his
trade and Kristina
will be working at the hair salon that Michele went to
when
she lived there. Cold Lake is only 2.5
hours away from Gibbons,
which is closer than Banff. Michele &
Steve’s son Brendan
is in Grade 11. He will be
playing indoor soccer at Sherwood
Park over the winter. Steve is closing
in on the finish line with the course he is taking to be a home
inspector. He will be making some trips to
Cold Lake to
do home inspections there with the guy he originally learned from. He expect to be working in his trade full
time by January. Michele is still
enjoying her work at the base. She and
Steve have booked a vacation to Mexico in
March. They will be going with friends and
are very excited about their
first trip there.
At
the end of August Brian &
Heather’s daughter, Jenifer,
celebrated her Sweet
16th birthday.
Reinhold
was there for that and everyone had a great time. Shortly
after that Brian, Heather and family all headed down to
California to see Disneyland and
visit some relatives. Besides
Disneyland they also went to Knott’s Berry Farm
and Universal
Studios as well
as a quick trip to Huntington Beach
to dip their toes into the warm Pacific
Ocean. They had a great visit with Uncle
Len &Aunt Val.
