For my own sake, and memory, I will list all of the towns I have ever lived in. This will include the several towns in France and Belgium in which I resided as a missionary. Well here it goes.

1.Fairfax, VA
2.Rexburg, ID
3.Thionville, France
4.Montbeliard, France
5.Mons, Belgium
6.St.Die, France
7.Forbach, France
8.Strasbourg, France
9.Provo, UT
10.Manassas, VA
11.St.George, UT

Now it is time for the top 3 favorite places I have lived.

3.Rexburg - What can I say, I was young and in college, I loved it.
2.Strasbourg - Beautiful town, wonderful people, great food...I think the food is what pushed it so high...Vive D'escargos!
1.Fairfax- I had to put this first because it was a wonderful place to be a kid. At the foot of Washington DC and all the history of Virginia and surrounding areas made it a delightful place, especially for someone who loves history like I do. Also, we were not too far from Ocean City,MD or from the beautiful Shanandoah mountains. It was a quiet,safe neighborhood with a pool, two elem. schools, woods with endless possibilities, and the people were great, what more could you ask for?

My Mom

She has not been doing very well. It has been 6 weeks ago friday that she had her operation. She is still in the hospital. We are very sad that she is not recovering quicker. Her husband has been there with her the whole time. I went to see her last week and she was doing better but now seems to be regressing a little. My sister will go and see her this next week. We are hoping for a recovery so we can spend more enjoyable times together. She is a good mother and I love her.

I think eveyone should see my beautiful wife. It has only been 9 years since we met. She is a wonderful companion and I love her.

We are making plans for our 10 wedding aniv. next year. I think it will be to Hawaii.!!

I will also take this time to tell of our early am April Fools joke. It was our 7 year old's idea to leave a trail of jelly beans as if it were Easter for our 4 yr old. It worked and the 4 yr old was convinced the easter bunny came. We followed the trail to the table where a note was read by the 7 yr old saying APRIL FOOLS. We all laughed and the 4 yr old said "...the Easter Bunny left us an April Fools note". HA HA... I thought it was funny anyway.
