What have I done?

I saw this on my good friend's blog and thought it was cool. Maybe because I could claim a few and maybe because it made me think about others I would still really like to do. And since January is already slow around here-oh how will I make it thru the dark and dreary winter, I thought it would make an interesting post.

c'mon, tithing counts as a charity!! You're telling me you could always "afford" it? Just kidding. I love it. Love to learn things about you! I hear what you are saying about Jan. The Jan. blues. I definitely have them. You know how much I love to just go to the pool and be outside. I need to move to CA or FL or something. Miss you guys!

What a cute list! I'm going to steal your idea and do the post on mine! Stay tuned! :)

Why we joined this bloggy-blog world!

We hope that we can keep in better contact with our friends and family, both near and far. Besides, it is easier to see pictures this way instead of emailing them! And did we mention we think our family is pretty cute, especially those kids of ours! Check back often and keep in touch!

About Me

I am a proud 32 year old woman (you know they say 30 is the new 20!) I am married to Bart, the love of my life, and we have three amazing kids, Jacob, 6 1/2, Anna,3 1/2, and Rachel 9 mos. We met in college in Utah and lived there for the first 6 years of our marriage. Then we followed Bart's career and moved out to the East Coast. We decided to follow it back to the west about a year ago and are adjusting to life in a new place. We are sure thankful for all that we have and hope to stay in better touch with friends and family alike with our blog!
