This is pretty cool. Genealogy Fan Chart

So I was reading this  article  the other day about this non-Mormon had moved to Utah and was experiencing how all the social things in the city revolve around Mormon activities not clubs of any other sort. She was explaining how she has been learning to accept living in an area where the majority are Mormon/LDS. Towards the end she talks about neighbor gifts. We have a single guy that lives in the small rental next to us and is from the East Coast.  He was not home when we dropped off our gift to him - it was nothing big, just homemade rolls and some candy. As the night went on, I started to wonder if he was thinking the same thing this lady did about how strange it is to be given a neighbor gift. We will see - When Michael walked past last night the box was not on the doorstep anymore so he either got it or someone came and took it (as the Christmas gift stealing has been making headlines here and also here . So I know it is very common! =) ) So my question to you ...

In October, Michael was recruited to work for another company.  He switched jobs at the end of October and has enjoyed learning new things at his new job.  He will not be traveling at this point with the new company. This year it was the Adams' turn for Thanksgiving.  They were invited to go to Brian's house in New Mexico so we tagged along.  We were able to spend a few days and even experienced Black Friday with Susan.  We shopped at 10 pm at Walmart and then on to Target at midnight standing in the Albuquerque cold wind for about 30 mins waiting in line to get in the store. We went up to the tram to take it to the top of the mountain to look around - it was 15 degrees at the top.

We have lived in Daybreak for about 2 and half years when we get a notice on our doors that the empty lot in front of our condo will be made into an Extreme Makeover house - this was happening in June.  It was a crazy month watching all the behind the scenes stuff happen and then house built all right from my porch! A few days before the real action started. Church parking lot behind my house. They used half the lot for the 2 weeks they were around. The unveil of the lot is about to happen. Crowd getting ready to welcome new family. Red shirts are Real SL soccer team. Here comes the bus with the new family. And let the fun begin. This was about 8 pm. about midnight. Could not sleep much over all the noise. Payton had school still during this construction so we had to have a loud fan on to drown out the noise. Woke up the next morning to see they had progressed this much. Camera crews This is about 2 pm on...
