Ken's Christmas

It's been an interesting year... changing jobs, changing cities we live in, seeing kids transition to the next step in their lives. Things began with a move to Tucson, AZ in February when I became the new Scout Executive for the Catalina Council, BSA. I had to find Tucson on the map to really know where we might be moving. I joke with friends that Tucson is the furthest east we've ever lived.... it's not very east and is considered the "wild west." We've seen some interesting things since we've been here including Tombstone, Kartchner Caverns, lots of cactus and some very beautiful sunsets. Transitions are always difficult but filled with good surprises too. Lots of neat people in Scouting have been very supportive and encouraging.

We've had lots of friends and family come and visit which we've really enjoyed. Good experiences including watching the OR-AZ game, visiting interesting places around the area and a trip to Vegas recently.

In the summer Jodi and I traveled up to Washington without the kids. A long road trip together brings good opportunities to talk about lots of things. It probably would have been easier to fly but it was fun traveling across the country together.

If you're itching to see cactus, creepy crawling things, the "wild west" and some fun folks (that's mostly Jodi but every now and then I surprise her) - then come visit us. We're always happy to have company!
