This has been an eventful year for the Dave and Chris Clark family. Following the Valentine's Day trip to New York City (see previous post) with the Butlers Chris decided to end her membership in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in order to enroll as a full-time MBA student at Utah State University. She completed an intensive business core experience to prepare non-business majors for the MBA degree and then she started regular classwork in September. She is on-track to graduate in May 2010.Rich and Reina are living in Salt Lake City. The addition of Reina to our family has been a great joy.
In May Dave left for a five week tour of Asia with 32 USU students. The trip included a week in South Korea, three weeks in China and one week in Vietnam. It was a great experience with wonderful Asian food, amazing sights to see, new friends and a whole new appreciation for home.
In June our newest grandchild was born to Steve and Laura - Jackson. It was a nice to celebrate with Steve and Laura and our daughters, Emily, Becca and Kristin.
The summer was incredible in Logan. The Cache Valley is absolutely beautiful and offers great golf and hiking among a host of other outdoor activities. One of the hikes we enjoyed with the Butler family was on a trail called Temple Fork in Logan Canyon.
Dave was able to do two things in the fall that were great fun. The first was a fishing trip in Idaho with Karl Kern. The second was a cattle drive in Idaho with his cousin, Roger Clark.
For Christmas we took a fantastic trip to Kauai with all of the adult children and their spouses (except, sadly, for Steve and Laura who were not able to come). The weather was spectacular, the island is beautiful and everyone had a great time.
After returning from Hawaii we spent Christmas day at home, which included a visit from Jen and Ben and their children, Daxton and Jacy.
We look back on 2009 with gratitude and we look forward to 2010 as the best year ever for our family.
