We are home again...

Which we feel we are fortunate to do. There are many in the Pacific NW right now who are displaced from their homes and may not have one to return too. We stayed with some friends on the north side of town and had a whole new perspective on a Tillamook flood. These pictures involve the Wilson River.

The golf course across the street from the Tillamook Cheese Factory.
A little seafood hut just on the banks of the river.

At the Fred Meyer intersection. For those of you familiar with this stretch of road....it is closed all the way to the intersection that has the old KFC. There was a lot of water.

A picture while traveling on the bridge over the Wilson River. It was flowing very, very, very fast.

Water as far as the eye can see.

I am glad that you are safe! You know, you do so much emergency preparedness, I know you will know what to do and be all set in an emergency!:)

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
