Just an Update





Well it's been a really long time since I've posted. Things are good here...nothing too out of the ordinary. A couple weeks ago we went to Mexico for conference weekend, so that was a nice little break. Now we're just amping up to get through the end of the semester and are anxiously awaiting the summer break. Only three weeks left. Woohoo!

Baby Navy

Dano and Linds welcomed little baby Navy a little over a week ago. She is so darling! I'm not much for babies but I must admit she is one cute little sprout.

"Grandma" with her first grand baby...we're still trying to figure out what to call her, because she doesn't like being called "grandma"

Beware of the Dragon

Last night the school I work at was having a carnival. So we thought it'd be fun to take Kenna and Kai and Cory's sister, husband, and their kids came too. The carnival was in the back parking lot and everything was in a small area, making it feel a lot more crowded than it was. Well anyways, they had this big blow up dragon thing. It was like this big tube thing that the kids could crawl through and then at the end you went down a big slide. Kenna and Cory's nieces really wanted to go on it, so I decide that I will stay in line with them. So we stand in line for about forty five minutes for this thing and when we finally get to the front, Kenna and Cory's niece freeze up. Kylie goes right in and Kai goes right in and then it's Kenna's turn. She got to the entrance and just froze. There were tons of people behind us and kids who kept telling her "oh, it's not that scary" and she just froze. So I tried to get her to move and she said she wanted to go but then she said she was scared and blah blah blah it went on for a couple minutes. Finally, she summoned up the courage to conquer the beast and went for it. Mia couldn't muster up the gumption so she went with me to wait for them to come out. So Kylie comes down the slide and a little bit later Kai comes down but there's no Kenna. We waited and waited and the lady in charge of the thing went and unzipped the little holes to try and find her. Finally, they had to send a bigger kid inside to help her out because I guess she was scared and kind of freaking out. So they finally get her through and she slides down the slide and looks at me and says "that was so fun!". What the heck!? Yes Kenna, it sounded like you had fun seeing how you needed convincing to go in there and then someone had to come get you out. Sometimes, I really don't understand kids.

A New Member of the Family


Yesterday Cory and I bought a puppy. We weren't planning on it and decided to go look at these puppies just for fun and of course, we fell in love with him. He's a little yorkie and is a fun, feisty little guy. We're still deciding on a name...we're thinking Mitt or Nixon...but we still don't know.

Valentine's Day

Yesterday was Valentine's day. Honestly, it started out pretty crummy. Cory was having a garage sale, then his brother and his family showed up and stayed for a while, so by the time Cory got the garage sale cleaned up and was showered and ready to do anything, it was 3:30 PM. I was pretty pissed off because we had planned on going out and actually doing something together during the day...he was in charge of the day activity and I was in charge of dinner. So, after I blew off some steam and decided to just get over it, we cooked our dinner together and just relaxed. Dinner wasn't anything fancy...just roast chicken, hasselback potatoes, and a salad. But for dinner I decided to tackle creme brulee. I'd always wanted to make it so I figured it'd be a good dessert for Valentine's day. It actually turned out really well. I was pretty surprised. So we had that and strawberries with chocolate fondue while we watched "No Reservations". Probably sounds like a lame Valentine's day but it was actually perfect for us. We both were able to relax and just enjoy being together. Good times.

Mexico Fun






We just got back from our week in Mexico. It was definitely a much needed, relaxing weekend. The first couple night were kind of cold but by Monday afternoon the weather was great. We even got the jet ski out and got out on the water. Uncle John, Tracy, Katie, and Taylor came down from Colorado so it was really nice to get to spend some time with them. Unfortunately now it's time to get back to reality and get back to work tomorrow. We'll have to sneak back down to the beach in a few weeks for another break though:)

The holidays, etc...

It's been a busy month so far between finals, work, Christmas parties, etc. I can't believe Christmas is in just two short days! The day after Christmas we're all going down to Rocky Point for a week which I am really psyched about. I definitely need a week off to relax and revamp. Anyways, I hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas!
