Richard is 34

Shhh, don't tell him I posted his age in the title.  Hee, hee.  I only put it there to brag because he doesn't look his age at all.  

He is loving his job teaching the 8th graders math at JoLane middle school.  He started coaching the Roseburg H.S. track team this month and has some great athletes with some real talent.  He does the horizontal jumps (long and triple jumps.)  Those are his events from H.S. and his triple jump record is still on the wall of the high school.  His mission is to train an athlete well enough to crush his record.  

In church he teaches the 16-17 yr. olds.  He really enjoys it.  There are a lot of great kids in his class.  He was also called to help plan Aaronic Priesthood camp.  That, I believe, is his dream calling because he learned and grew so much from his experience as a young man at that camp and is now given the opportunity to help other boys in the same way.  

So, overall, Richard is LOVING Roseburg.  He wanted so badly to move here and he has loved every minute of it.  I have too and I can't stop feeling excited when I see him come home from work happy in every way.

Happy Birthday!, Richard, you did a fantastic job choosing Julienne for a wife. I admire both of you so much. I'm glad you're enjoying Oregon.
