This is more aimed to the ladies (with babies) in the family. I have... um.... a bunch... of Gymbuck$ that it does not look like I will be using this time around. I found a fantastic coat, hat, gloves and dress for Valerie for Christmas and I still have $150 (off $300) left.
So.... if anyone needs (or shall I say "needs") Gymbucks let me know. I keep planning to go to Gymboree (the closest is an hour away) to peruse the back of the store for baby clearance, but I have had absolutely no time and I am not liking what is online.
So, let me know... how I miss working at that store sometimes, I stopped working there when Valerie was 8 and Janie and Jack spun off us.

HISTORY
A Little History:
Our story begins in Pocatello, Idaho, circa 1972, when the lovely Debby Christensen agreed to a first, though fateful date with admirer, David Croshaw. Long story-short, he bade her follow him, and they went arm-in-arm to the Logan, Utah temple for establishment of an eternal family unit, Generation 1, on May 23 1973.
From their first blissful summer in Salt Lake City, educational pursuits took them to Provo/Orem, Utah, birthplace of Leslie and Rebecca, and to San Francisco/Oakland California, birthplace of Colin and Matt. Then, for establishment of livelihood, expansion of the tribe with Abby and Dana, and for raising/unifying of Generation 2, it was back to the roots in Pocatello for a rewarding sojourn.
In time, driven by a raging, but commonly shared sense of adventure and independence, one-by-one, Generation 2 escaped the homeland to distant regions of the country and the world, each ultimately developing their own tribal expansions by pairing with worthy mates and initiating Generation 3.
Now sensing fulfillment of their purpose in Pocatello, Generation 1 has also left those roots and transplanted to Cascade Idaho, from which base, they anticipate more abundant contact with The Posterity, Generations 2 and 3, in the future. That contact however, awaits fulfillment of a call to LDS missionary service in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, wherein they hope to help the state of the world by sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
So now, including Generation 0 (Grandma and Grandpa Christensen) home base includes Yuma, Arizona, Pocatello, Idaho, Cascade, Idaho, Vancouver, BC, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Spokane, Washington, Boise, Idaho, Los Angeles, California, back to Boise, Idaho, and on and on (Generation 3+) to infinity.
Our Mission Statement:
This is the blog of our eternal family unit. Initiated years ago, it served well as a journal, but even more so, as an archive of our personal interaction. It was a gathering place, a confabulation instrument, a unifying force for four generations of widely dispersed and progressively prolific posterity, and their valued associates. Though it served these purposes well for many years, it eventually took a back seat to new-kids-on-the-block, Facebook, and Instagram, and was sadly forgotten.
We now move to resurrect this blog with an added functional purpose of archiving the missionary experiences of Generation 1, of their movements and activities as they participate with The Gathering of Israel in the land northward. In so doing, we hope that via their own comments and posts, this blog will again serve to gather and unify the posterity and their friends.
As in the past, that the young and vibrant may know the old and tired, that enduring bonds may be fostered and maintained, that experience and encouragement may be openly shared, that posterity may embrace truth, and that hearts may be knit together, we must resist detachment despite our geographic divergence. We shall do so here.

I've spent way too much money lately Ebaying and Gymboree shopping. I have some Gymbucks too, but I was going to tell you people sell Gymbucks on Ebay and make quite a bit off them. Is they gymbucks sale going on right now? I might want to get something I saw in there the other day. There was this red coat I really wanted to get for Eva! But they only have it in the older girl clothes. Hmm...haha. Anyway, if no one claims them I say EBAY! :)
I had some posted on Ebay, but I wanted to see if anyone of you guys wanted them first... truly they are not going to end up being used by me- I have given away $75 and still have $75 left. I may see if I can get to gymbo tomorrow, and depending on that, I will offer them on buy it now ;-)
Ooh, ooh! Me! I want gymbucks!
....what exactly are they?
they are the super-sought after coupons that give you half off your purchase at the ever-amazing Gymboree (only the best (reasonably-priced) children's clothing store EVER). If you play it right, you can get clearance stuff for pennies on the dollar with these babies.
NY & Co does these too... so does limited too ...
