It's great having Jim in Portland now (super awesome deals at REI). Did I say it was great to have Jim in town?? All kidding aside, we finally got to see Jim for the first time since he moved here and it was for the REI Grand Opening Family night! I was really impressed with Jim/James in his work element. He's really got it together in what he does. Anyway, the new REI store here at the Clackamas Mall officially opens up this Friday, but they had a sneak peak shopping fest for family and friends and my bro hooked us up! The store is really nice and Jim gave me a grand tour of his work area (Shipping/Recieving). Of course we spent a lot of $ but 25% off was hard to beat. Jim is going to hook me up with a top of the line ski/binding set for like nothing (50% off). Good to see Jim loving what he does and his coworkers really seemed to like him a lot. I wonder what mine think of the mean old safety guy? I have hopefully talked Jim into coming over to our house this Sunday (with Mandy and Kimbo) for an after church BBQ?
Rich made the comment that we brothers should start doing more stuff together. I'm going to gear up for next spring so we can do some camping/gold mining again or just go golfing and fishing over in the Bend area. Jim is really interested in the Kayak thing as well and we could rent some and hit the local lakes?? Seems like everything costs money and/or time/scheduling to do what's really important in life, spending time with family!....playing golf, fishing, hunting, watching football, eating and more eating!!!

I think an annual brothers weekend would be an awesome idea. It's important to still do those things even as you get older and gives Tuck a chance to get to know you guys better in a different element. Glad to hear that Jim is doing good and that he is enjoying his job. He is very personable and everyone always seems to like him and get along with him. Wish we could get away more to come visit everyone. Riley is going duck hunting tomorrow, when are you going to come down and do some shooting with him?
I am glad you guys got to to over there. I went online to try and find some gear but the REI website was acting funny. Of course the stuff I was able to see is quite a bit out of my range at this point, discount or not. I saw in the paper that a garbage truck ran over a cyclist in portland and was happy to see that it was not Waste Management. I am guessing you are too.
Hey,there,
Glad to hear from you, your kids have grown so much just since you've moved. They are sure cute. It will be nice to keep in touch. Deena
Jimmy works at REI!?!? GEE, my kids are jealous! Think he could get Angela a job. Heck, she has a degree in Exercise science and REI would be much more fun than cleaning apts in Provo!
I'm loving looking at the blogs you, Sarah and Debbi have!! I'm a bit tech challenged but how do you do one? I love the pictures and updates, etc!!
