To my faithful blog readers.
yes, all 3 of you ;-)I have a request. It's that time of year again: we're making our list and checking it twice. Because we're getting ready to send out the Erb Annual Report.
We had a great trip to California -- a big thanks to everyone who made out trip fun, tasty, memorable, and possible.
We were able to get some good (quick) visits in with both grandparents and the extended families. For some of the cousins, it was the first time in 10 years we had seen each other! Too long, if you ask me.
We felt like we took a lot of photos, but apparently not so much... but here are the shots from our camera:
Thankfully, others took pictures as well.

Thanksgiving at the Goldstein's
We had a blast.
(I'm hoping Jill is going to post more on her blog about all the fun things we did. If she doesn't, I'll come back here and fill in.)
We flew back on Saturday, had a quick detour at a nearby Wal-Mart when our poor, tired battery -- on its very last legs -- had enough juice to turn over (after several attempts to crank and multiple bad clicking noises) and get us to the store. Thankfully, the Auto Center was still open, and we were able to get the battery tested (yes, it was bad) and a new one installed.
Got back in time to review some things for Jill's Sunday School lesson, then went to bed. Jill taught a great lesson in gospel doctrine, and we had another great lesson from the Bangerters in a combined priesthood/relief society meeting.
Monday came and it was back to the grind. It was a pretty quiet day at work -- except for all of the technical support I provided pretty much everyone in the office (ok, so maybe 2 or 3 people; but it felt like everyone).
And now it's Tuesday. With today being the first day of December and all, we decided to get out some of our Christmas decorations that we have with us. (Most of our decorations are sitting in the Walker basement back in Rexburg...).
(I forgot to get a picture of the yummy cinnamon smelling pine cones that Jill got for me.)
Now I sit here writing this all up while I back-up some of our photos to my SkyDrive and listen to the Vince Guaraldi Trio rendition of O Tannenbaum, streaming on my laptop from AccuHolidays: Holiday Jazz channel. Ah, technology. Wonderful.
November 23
On this day in history:
1887 Boris Karloff born
1889 Jukebox debut
1936 Life magazine hit newsstands
1940 Romania signs Tripartite Pact
1955 UK transfers Cocos Islands to Australia
1971 UN seats People's Republic of China representatives
1981 Sunrise: 7:00 am EDT, Sunset 4:50 PM EDT, Waning crescent moon
And the love of my life was born =)
Happy Birthday!
(oh, and then in 1985 EgyptAir Flight 648 was hijacked...)

I used to listen to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" on my Rio mp3 player back in the day. It was cool then; it's cool now (and cooler with my iPod - but maybe even cooler if I had the newest Apple product...). The fiddle playing is quick and fun.
Then, Jill rocks my world tonight and shows me the following clip. Fiddle = awesome. Speed = faster than the recording I have. Guitar solo = new twist to the song; watch/listen to the end.
