Christmas Update

Hi All:
We hope you had a wonderful 2008. Things here have been very busy, as usual.

Our hunters did well this year: Andie got her first buck and Darin got his biggest buck. Darin also killed a 5x6 elk that isn’t pictured. I killed a lot of time and got exercise, as usual. We were all very happy with their successes, and I got to brag about them at work.

I finished my Masters Degree and started my first teaching job in the fall. I am very happy with what I’m doing, and I look forward to getting much better at it.

Andie is a freshman this year, and she is doing very well in school. She likes high school much better than junior high. She was the only freshman with a 4.0 in the first quarter. She played volleyball on the JV team and really enjoyed it.

Darin is still managing at Chester’s. He really enjoys the customers and getting to visit with everyone when they come in to shop. If he could figure out how to do that part and get to skip the boring stuff, he would be thrilled! He got to go on a special hunt in November that took 10 points to get. That is where he bagged the buck you see here. That was probably his highlight for the year.

We are grateful to have been blessed beyond belief yet again this year. We hope the true spirit of Christmas fills your hearts and homes this season. Merry Christmas and God bless you all.

Darin, Rhonda, & Andie
