I'm back!

My sister put it well in saying that Facebook has killed the blog, I wholeheartedly agree! I have been Facebook free for about a year now and I LOVE it. I have made a vow to get back to my blog. It has been over a year since I posted and quite a bit has happened but I will spare details. Here are the key events :) August 17, 2011 - Michael hit the MTC to serve a mission in the Kennewick, Washington mission. It has almost been a full year! Time sure flies when you are in the service of the Lord.

September 11, 2011 - Martha becomes an adult and turns 18! September 21, 2011 - Michael is officially no longer a teenager and turns 20. December 19, 2011 - My little George hit 17 years old.

January 12, 2012 - Dylan becomes a teenager and Tommy hit the age of accountability. These kids are growing up so fast! February 4, 2012 - Tommy was baptized and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

March 27, 2012 - Made the big move from sunny So Cal to Meridian Idaho. April 2, 2012 - Beautiful Shelby is one year away from dating......can't even think about it!

May 2, 2012 - Mike and I hit our 9th anniversary. June 1, 2012 - Martha leaves the nest to find her way in this big wild world. June 28, 2012 - Mike finally joins us in Idaho after a long time out to sea. June 29, 2012 - Shelby is officially a permitted driver in the great state of Idaho. July 2, 2012 - Eliza is finally 5 and she anxiously waited for this birthday for months. She was born to swim and we hit the water park for the day.

July 16, 2012 - Jimmy is now 11 years old and as skinny as ever.

That brings us to today. We are happy and blessed and we feel the hand of God every day. We love Idaho and our lives are drastically different, in the best possible way :)
