We Graduated!

Justin and I started on our journey in May of 2004 and finally completed the process this October. We finished the MAST cohort program and in December walked at the graduation ceremony showing our family that we have earned our Master's of Arts in Science Teaching!!! There were times that I thought we would never finish and that the road was long, but we did it!

It's almost "Ho Ho" time!

This holiday season is going to be filled with love and laughter! We are hosting Christmas this year and I can't wait! Everyone is arriving Christmas Eve and staying a few days...the kids are going to have a BLAST!

We were up in Flagstaff December 14th when it started snowing there which helped create the holiday mood. Jordan had fun sledding down hills with dad and all by herself! She doesn't remember that she has already been sledding before so it was like her first time all over again!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year...people are in the giving spirit and more willing to help one-another. I hope that all of you have a wonderful holiday season! May you be blessed this season!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This year we are heading down to Tucson to spend time with Justin's family. My dad and niece, Kellsey, are coming with us! We are even going to try to go visit my sister, Allyson, her husband, Robert, and son, Logan. I am excitied for all of the food we are going to eat! So in the Thanksgiving spirit, I will close with my top 10 of "Things I am Thankful For"...

10. A roof over my head ~ there are a lot of people lately that are losing theirs
9. A job that I enjoy (most of the time)
8. Having a wonderful extended family that I wish I could see more often
7. All of the life lessons my mom taught me and that I now apply
6. Having a wonderful in-law family, they are an important part of my life
5. Having had the most amazing, caring, giving, and sweet mother!
4. My dad, sisters, and brother ~ they all mean so much to me!
3. An amazing daughter who brightens my day
2. A husband that loves me unconditionally
1. A healthy family

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

My first attempt at posting a picture of Jordan...

guess I better teach her how to put her makeup on ;)

Here We Go...

My little sis started one of her own so I figured I better jump on the band wagon...

I am not sure how often we will update this because our household is very busy but I will try! So for now, this is all you get until I figure this thing out.
