We've Moved!
We FINALLY made it to Kingman, Arizona. We live in a small community called Valle Vista, about 15 minutes north of Kingman along Route 66! I get to drive down route 66 every day to work. Pretty cool!

The Myers are moving...
We're moving to Kingman, Az! Where is Kingman, Arizona you might ask? Well let me show you...
If you click on the picture and see it full screen, it's about 100 miles from Las Vegas and really close to the Grand Canyon. I'll be working in Peach Springs, Az for work. I am to be one of the 3 clinical pharmacists there on the Peach Springs Indian Reservation. That's right, I'm working for the government! So look out, I can look you up and know everything about you in 1 click. Not really, but it sounds cool.

"Gavin's Gifts Charity" officially started
Due to the previous post, we decided to start a charity organization called Gavin's Gifts. When we were shocked by the news that our son had passed away and we needed to bury him or cremate him, we elected to have him close to us in the Meridian Cemetery. Little did we know that caskets for newborn children start at about $800. We were obviously not prepared for this, and I like to have some sort of wood project to do for each of my children, so I designed and built Gavin his casket. It was a great way to keep my mind off of things for a couple of days and to give him a very special gift.
We decided to take this a bit further and we started Gavin's Gifts, which is a charity in his name. We are going to make caskets just like the one we built for Gavin, and give them to local families that are forced to go through what we did. We think even this little gesture will help them out in their time of need. It will be a great way to help others like us and be able to give back to the community in Gavin's name. So we're really excited. For more info, see the website... Gavinsgifts.com or you can find our group page on Facebook. Thanks.
