Years ago I promised myself that no matter how boring our life seemed I would not give up on the newsletter.  Surely I could find one or two interesting things to write about.  We couldn’t possibly have been reduced to the ranks of boring married people who work too much and can’t find time to enjoy life.  Well, unfortunately, that’s exactly what has happened and it’s quite the eye opener.   We had this realization a few months ago when our friends were going on exotic vacations, graduating from college with their Master’s and expanding their businesses.  We have been so wrapped up in the needs of everyday life; working, grocery shopping and housework that we forgot to have fun! So…. We have dubbed 2008 the MORE year.  More FUN in life, more traveling, and more trying new things.  In preparation... http://photosbydebschoeman.multiply.com/journal/item/13/Happy_Holidays_from_Brian_and_Debi Thu, 6 Dec 2007 05:28:30 -0000 Happy Holidays from Brian and Debi 2007 Holiday Newsletter http://photosbydebschoeman.multiply.com/journal/item/12/Happy_Holidays_from_Brian_and_Debi Thu, 6 Dec 2007 05:06:09 -0000 Our new trailer The new trailer we just bought because we were getting to old and fat to sleep on the ground.

This time we took my brother who had never been. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, with fantastic cloud formations. We took a dirt road into the Bodie Hills for about 25 miles, at 20 mph.
