Thanksgiving and job update

Our job news: UVU recently let Ron know that no offers have been made because the dean of the business school is working with the administration to come to terms with a competitive offer and to perhaps open three job positions. 5 interviewed so our chances would increase. Ron interviewed with a competitive group so the accounting department wants to grab these guys while they can. So we are doing to the waiting thing, again, but I have come to grips with the fact that we could possibly stay here at Georgia because they would like to have Ron stay as a clinical professor- we are liking it more and more so either way, we would be happy, but would still love to live close to family.

Thanksgiving: Ron's brother Ricky and his sweet wife Mindy visited and we loved having guests! We visited the largest aquarium in the world, the Georgia Aquarium.


Pictures cannot capture the awesomeness of this place-huge sharks, rays, jellies, etc.

Jellyfish, a personal favorite

Eel snake things, another favorite of mine

Getting ready for the movie (half of the photees missed the "be serious" memo)

HUGE tank full of incredible sea creatures

Pies of course!


If you only knew what was going on while this picture was being taken...Ronnie refusing to pose because he was sad our guests had to leave, Ron trying to be happy while holding son in grip, Ricky wondering what he will do on the next Mario Wii level, and the rest of us trying to put on a happy face, even though we were all sad to have to say goodbye! Thanks for coming!
