Sooo...it has been a while!

Well, I had resolved to update my blog every couple of weeks last year or at least on special ocassions. And that lasted all of about two weeks. I know, I know...shame on me! So, will I do any better this year? Probably not... but let's see how it goes.

A few noteworthy events that should have made the blog... I GOT MARRIED on October 3rd! That's a pretty big deal, right? I had an awesome honeymoon road trip (in June - a few months before the wedding) down through Reno and Tahoe, up the central California coast to San Francisco, over to Sacremento and back through Tahoe. We took a spring break trip (Gabriel, Alexandria, Denise and Carrington) to Salt Lake City. We went to the Hogle Zoo and Kids Discovery Museum. The kids had a lot of fun! John, the kids and I went on a trip to the Oregon Coast in August; Newport, Oregon to be exact. That was special...we all had a blast. Between the Yakina Head Lighthouse, Newport Aquarium, Cobble Beach, brew pub and clam chowder...there was something for everyone! My sister Chirs and family ended up living in Boise for a few months over the summer and fall. It was so great to have the time with them here. All in all... it was a fairly eventful year!

I also was promoted to a Project Manager position at work and John became CNA! He has his medications certification, CPR and First Aid certifications and is currently in a Phlebotomy class. He is enjoying his new line of work (and even gets to cook two days a week while doing it!).

Gabriel is about to turn 10...gulp...double digits! Alexandria is in Kindergarten and just turned 6! Abby is 7 going on 14! We are all snuggled into our circa 1915 (or there abouts) two bedroom house and starting to get anxious to be closer to Boise with more bedrooms and bathrooms.

I will try to get some new pictures on here as well as a few from the above mentioned events. Don't hold your breath though...11 months by my last dry spell could be a long time to wait!
