October 2026

Hey everyone, get ready for a BIG month! The kids are VERY busy this month, Grant is starting to work on his robotics projects, and Jordan is writing a lot of code at Raytheon, where he will likely be for a long time! Before he heads off to work though, UA family weekend happened, and Rusty and Jen joined him for a fun filled weekend adventure around campus! Meanwhile, Jen and Rusty have been busy with traveling and inviting guests over! Jen visits Grant up in Flagstaff for a weekend, delivering much needed supplies to him. Rusty, meanwhile, travels up to the Pacific Northwest, and visits Dan and Joy, and they all go on a trip to Pt Reyes Seashore in California. Then, Rusty takes Kay on a trip to Alaska, and all that's there around it. Some friends of Jen and Rusty actually then come to visit us in Tucson! Two separate groups, and they both had excellent times. Wow, what a fantastic month. Very busy but also very fun, if a bit challenging for the Gen Z folks. Next month? Idk what that will bring.
