GREAT NEWS!!

Jared got engaged to Amelia!!!!! He proposed on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. She is a wonderful girl and we are very excited for them. They are getting married on Jan 15, 2010.

Jared worked as a guide on the Jungle Cruise last year. He still works for Disney in the travel department. Amelia has worked there for over five years and that is where they met!

They were so lucky! They got "We are engaged" pins to wear all over the park.

JoAnn went to Utah for Thanksgiving. Rick had to stay and work which was not what he wanted to do but hopefully we both will be coming for Christmas. (We Will!!) Someone is missing in the picture! If anyone has a picture of JoAnn at the table send it to me!

Grandmother Petterborg just loves her great-grandchildren (All of them)

JoAnn and Lori and Grandchildren

In our ward I get to play Scoutmaster and we had some fun this last month trying to build a catapult to learn knots. And we had a court of Honor.

Better late than never. It is about time to update the blog. First, have you ever seen a more handsome grandson? This is Gavin, Lori and Jarom's son and Adia's brother.

It has been a busy couple of months. We had Hurricane Ida (or tropical storm Ida), which caused some great surf and some rain and winds about 40 mph. They did shut our water and sewer off to our home for a while, so we left and went north for the night. I guess the water off the coast was so cold that it couldn't sustain it's wind speeds. That was fine with us.

The sea birds were all facing the wind and would get up and fly in-place for fun. The waves were sometimes 10 feet high, which was twice the usual size.

I came home for lunch and took this picture of what was left of the Eye of Hurricane Ida, right over our condo! We live in the left-most condos on the fifth floor. There was almost no wind as this passed overhead.
