OTHERS November 2011

MARSHALL NOOSE: By Suzanne

Happy November everyone! John and I are doing well. He is working in Spokane now and is appreciating being able to do his commute on the west coast for a change. I am still working at Roubicek & Thacker Counseling. We have been very busy there and I finally have an assistant to boss around - I mean - to help. Along with the regular family counseling, our office has started a couple of addiction related programs that has increased our clientele tremendously.

At church John is serving as a counselor in the High Priest Quorum, and I am the MiaMaid counselor. I love serving anywhere in the church and am enjoying being with the teenagers again.

This year John and I will be traveling to Oregon for Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to visiting our Oregonion children and their families. Because of that, there will be NO TURKEY BOWL THIS YEAR. We will continue the tradition next year. Gooooooooo Marshalls!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Clare is doing such a great job getting up on her feet. Sometimes she will take a step or two and we expect her to be walking any day now, following Bella into all sorts of mischievousness. Clare was a cute Tinkerbelle for Halloween. She loved going trick or treating, pulling out the candy every time one was dropped into her bucket only to have to taken away and put in Dad’s pocket.

Bella is a wonderful ball of energy or maybe a ball of enthalpy would be a better way to put it. That is to say that Mom spends a lot of time picking up after Bella. She loves to sing her ABC’s and will randomly point out letters like the “A” in Target™. For Halloween she was Wendy Darling from Peter Pan. She could not believe how easy it was to get candy. You just walk up to a house, ring the doorbell and hold out your pumpkin.

Amy has been busy with her calling at church and the primary program. This year the day of the program happened to fall on her birthday. She held a practice the Friday evening before the program, celebrated her birthday on Saturday evening going out to eat and watching the BYU Dance program, had the program Sunday morning, then was finally able to relax and eat some cake Sunday evening, and got to sleep in on Monday.

Thomas started working at Valley Health Team last month as a clinic manager out in San Joaquin . They serve mostly the people in the community of migrant farm workers which he finds to be very rewarding. He also started working on his last assignment for the MPH program and is ever closer to finishing his project for the MBA program.
