Step back to 2007

Been reflecting on Cricket's career. I retired Pantera in September 2006 and left to get my next guide Cricket February 2007. I had chosen to wait and not return with a new guide during the winter months. This worked out very well - although by the time February came I was SO excited to get back working with a new guide. Cricket and I became a team on February 24, 2007. I was in class for two weeks. It was a wonderful class experience. This first picture is with two of my classmates. We had a lot of fun!

Family, friends and Cricket's puppy raising family at Graduation.  What a beautiful experience.  Natalie, our daughter and Adam were engaged while I was in class ... so graduation was Adam's first family vacation!

Cricket came home and entered life as a busy working guide.  Lots of travel: Girls trip to California to plan Natalie's wedding, Trip for the Wedding, A couple visits to San Diego to visit Natalie and Adam, The Fall Luncheon in Portand. 

Family Pictures with the new family members - Cricket and Adam

That year my parents celebrated their 50th Anniversary so another opportunity for great family pictures.

Busy year at the office with the addition of three new colleagues and Cricket and I worked a lot.  Cricket was a busy two year old with lots of energy!  I remember the day we felt like we clicked - walking up to Dick's Market and it just felt like we were ONE!
