Hello, things are getting colder here in Reno, 4 degrees below 0 celcius each day, the sun is shining as usual but it is just so cold; we had a 4″ snow fall last Friday and the snow is still just as thick on the driveway, the roof and everywhere else around here because if the sun melts the top of the snow it just freezes almost instantly.
I am sure summer is really great there in New Zealand; wish we were home for Christmas but maybe next year

Jess got transfered to the universities new library building being constructed; she is still working for Reno’s most hated electrical company but hopefully will be laid off soon to rejoin the company she started the apprenticeship through.
The Peppermill job for me completed today at 11:30am, you can view the completed hotel photos in my photo album ‘click here for that‘.
I found out how much the basic room rate is for the new tower, $266 a night excluding tax; wonder how much the luxury palace suites will cost .

Got my works xmas party tomorrow night at the Nugget hotel/casino; should be a good night; buffet meal, drinking and karaoke; it is a white elephant thing so we have to bring gag gifts under $10 so a trip to the joke store in the mall is in order for tommorow morning.

The greencard deal got sorted out, I have my biometrics meeting on Wednesday to get fingerprinted and whatnot

Hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

Scott & Jess
