It's been a while.

Life is wonderful in AZ!!  January has brought MANY changes and wonderful opportunities!!  I was semi-promoted in the beginning of January and then fully promoted two weeks later.  It's been stressful, but great!!  I now work with children from 0-3 yrs.  I am the Director of the Early Intervention Program.  The women who work with these kids are so fabulous and so dedicated!  Even though things are a little hairy right now, in light of the budget cuts, I am so grateful and excited to be a part of something so great!!!  The Lord truly does open doors when He sees fit!  I have also booked a plane ticket to visit one of my most favorite people in the entire world...WITH another one of my most favorite people in the entire world!!!  LIFE IS GOOD!!  The people and friends and family we share life with it makes it's all the sweeter!!!!

The talent of this family is endless...





Fabulous Valentines in Reno!




I just love hanging out with my family!  We all got to play at home this last President's weekend, which never happens, especially with all of us in different states.  We hung out, ate, stayed up late talking, played games, and made a wonderful Valentine's Dinner, thanks to Stephie.  My Mom, as you can see, attempted to catch snowflakes on a black piece of paper so she could see the shape of the snowflakes, but it turned out they were so wet and large that they looked like wet blobs.  Nice try, Mom.

Happy Happy January and Very Hearty V-Day!

January 2009 brought with it change, change and more change!  It also brought another Birthday for my dear roomie, Carly!!!  We had a wonderful evening of crown wearing, skinny-dip talking, Truth or Dare Jenga and What If playing, and yummy cake!  It wouldn't be complete without good friends and laughter!!!  Happy Birthday Carly!!!  One year older and wiser too, Happy Birthday to you!!
