Christmas friday flashback...

Christmas in the 80's were AWESOME. I am so glad we were children of the 80's. I am probably being forced to take a picture by the Christmas tree, but it wasn't hard to get me to take a picture by the Christmas tree any year. Why? Because if you don't know yet, I LOVE Christmas trees. If you can believe it, I have YET to see Lyle's scrapbook of his upbringing. All I've seen is an 8 year old Lyle and the high school Lyle photos, so I asked Lorna to scan me over some so I can print one out for our Christmas decor and here is my favorite. Look at those monster feet? It was the first thing I noticed. He is obviously concentrating on opening that gift on Christmas morning by himself. I can't wait to see more little Lyle photos when we go back to Sacramento!
We can all take a deep breath around here because Lyle has NOW, finally, finished his finals for his first semester at NYUCD. No one else sees how hard he works, except myself, and I can tell you FOR SURE, that I haven't seen ANYONE ever work harder. I am proud of him, and I feel safe about our future knowing he is preparing for our family someday. Tonight we head to my work party and then (yeah), we are going to do a little apartment cleaning tomorrow in preparation for our departure next week (can you feel my excitement). I'll do whatever it takes if it means I get to have (most) of his undivided attention for 2 straight weeks!

Oh, and guess what gift will top off our Christmas day? His final grades for the semester. It will be the best or worst Christmas yet.

Hey there,

My name is Dane Ensley and I work for Life Preserver Digital Archiving.

We take photographs, slides, negatives, 8mm, Super 8, VHS, and more and transfer it all to a DVD or external hard drive. Photos and movies take up a lot of closet space right now, but they don't have to. They are aging, losing their color, and feeling lonely in the dark. They are unorganized, jumbled, and chances are people don't truly even know what they have. Using our service breathes new life into old photos and media, often returning a better image than the original.

We do all our transferring at our location and our client's most precious memories are never out of our careful hands. We'll even come to your house and pick your media up. We pride ourselves on working intimately with our clients and we guarantee the ability to meet face to face with a Life Preserver representative.

Please feel free to contact us at any time: dane@lifepreserver.com

Hope all is well.
It's your life. Relive it.™
