1st Time Blogger

Hello everyone, this is Heather. I guess that I will be doing most of the blogging for my family. How is everyone doing? Hopefully all of you can reply with a "good" or even "fantastic." The Idaho Halversens have been VERY busy, but we will try to get at least something on every month.

As an update on our family,(pretty much the same as the Christmas letter) we have been pretty good. Paul is now on his 19 year of working at the INL, and Lin is still a stay-at-home mom.(the BEST ever I might add) Allen is now working with our uncles and our grandpa Thornton in their painting business, trying to earn enough money for his mission. Shawn is now a Junior in High School and I am now a Freshman. Ryan is in 7th grade and MaKayla is now in 3rd grade.

Christmas was wonderful. Most of the day the family spent playing Shawn's new game settlers of Zerahemla and watching the new movies from Christmas. For New Years Eve we went over to my aunt and uncles house for dinner, treats, and entertainment while awaiting the new year. Yesterday Pat, Lorie, Vienna, Jessica and Sally arrived at our house. We stayed up until 11:30pm talking and watching old movies of grandma Millie and uncle Brian in 1985.
Well everyone from Idaho hopes that you all will have a very merry 2007!

Love,

Heather
