Landon

Today is all about Landon. He is my middle child. He was born in Phoenix and is 27 years old now. He's the most extroverted of all my kids and everyone that knows him, likes him. He's just one of those likeable people. Always happy and has interesting things to say.


Is that one of the 3 cutest kids you've ever seen in your life?

He went to NAU and got his teaching degree. It is in English Literature and he would like to teach at the High School level. He loves to read and he's very creative so he'll make a wonderful teacher. His students are going to love him!

After graduation, he and his fiance spent 6 months in France to learn to speak French. Then lived in NY for a year, and now (as of August of this year) lives in Richland, Washington. He will begin his teaching career this year and is pretty excited to be starting his 'life after college'.

Landon & Tracy

The love of his life is Tracy Meyer. They met going to NAU, but actually grew up only a few miles from each other. She is from Chino Valley. She has a degree in lighting design and that was why they went to NY for a year, so she could get her masters degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). She then got a job working for the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, where she is working in research for daylighting design. Landon is waiting for paperwork to go through for a teaching job. He will probably be substituting at first, but then hopefully will get a regular classroom by next semester.



The yellow house

They just bought a house in Richland and are VERY excited about it. Even though the house was beautiful when they bought it, they've done alot of renovations. While Landon has been waiting for his paperwork to go through, he has painted some rooms, redone some ceilings, worked on the yard and painted the epoxy finish in the garage. Landon and Tracy have a website and have put up pictures of their life in France, New York and now Washington. The address is: http://www.landonandtracy.com/. They also have a dog named Colmar.

He learned how to be Dog Whispered while they were visiting this summer. So, now I have a healthy, happy and balanced grand-dog.

Oh Mom, you are so sweet (by the way, this is Landon). I am sorry that this is the first time that I actually got around to looking at your "blogspot." I just never think about it when I am on the computer. Come to think of it, I really need to get on my website and post some stuff. We have been working so hard lately getting our downstairs done and making Christmas presents. We are not quite finished yet, but we can't wait to take a break from it all and come see you. I love you so much. See you soon.

Love,

Landon
