Stay Tuned...

We are counting the seconds until we find out what we're having on Monday (12/29) we just cannot wait and are so anxious to know if we're having a little boy or a little girl! Unbelievable that it's already time. So stay tuned and hopefully baby garcia will be cooperating during the ultrasound... Our family and friends are pretty much split. There is no one strong concensus either way so we'll see. I've been saying boy since day 1 but the last week and a half I've only thought girl and actually dreamt girl so???????? What's your guess:)? Have a great Christmas!

so here's the deal:)

Ok so I have officially stepped to the dark side and joined facebook; which I know I've mentioned but I'm telling you it's a great way to keep in touch, see pictures, chat... anyway that's my sales pitch but I've been adding lots of pictures on there, etc... so if you don't already have a facebook account I think it's about that time:). The latest addition I've made is Chris finally took a good belly pic of baby garcia so I thought I'd share it with the world:) Enjoy!! and come and hang out on facebook!

So here it is folks the 1st offical belly pic of baby G:). I'm feeling really well other than a bit of a scare last weekend and bedrest but this was the first night my doctor allowed me to get all gussied up and enjoy our annual christmas party at our house. I'm 5 months and anxiously awaiting our next appt. in 2 weeks to hopefully find out if we'll be welcoming a baby girl or baby boy:)! Can't wait. Alright well enjoy!

update

So I've been learning how to use facebook so I have to admit that I have neglected the blog lately. Between blogs, facebooks, my spaces I just don't know; sometimes it's all to much ya know?:) Anyway all is well here. We had another appt. yesterday and all is looking fantastic. I am 15 weeks or so and feeling very good! All my vitals; blood pressure, etc... are doing great so nothing to new to report other than we heard the heartbeat again and I can't tell you how comforting it is to hear that when you haven't heard it in a few weeks, crazy! Anyway we are all fine & good. Getting ready to head up the mountain to Breckenridge for Thanksgiving week so that will be a fun time with family, food, shopping, snowboarding (for Chris:) and hopefully some snow... it was 80 degrees here today so I'm actually anxious to get a little winter for Thanksgiving! We made our ultrasound appointment for 12/29 so hopefully we'll find out what we're having then... boy I'm getting anxious to know:). Anyway I am finally enjoying pregnancy and just praying that feeling good stays with me for a while!

OB appointment...

Well we had our first OB appt. 2 weeks ago ( I know I'm way behind, I'm so sorry:) anyway it went great. We measured and watched and basically I/baby am measuring bigger than we thought so I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow; yippee:). Anyway the picture we got of little baby G is hilarious. We've been calling him/her a circus because while they were trying to take a picture she/he wouldn't stay still, moving, kicking like crazy. The arms were like pumping and moving over it's head and face:) it was hysterical! We were in absolute awe of the movements of his/her little arms and legs. Just so small and gangly:)... Needless to say it was a great appointment and everything so far is going great. I am feeling a 1000 times better so that is also helping.

Organizing for baby!

Don't get me wrong I know what some of you are thinking... "You know you are only 9 weeks and some change! You realize you have like 9 more months to get organized?" I understand that BUT I am me and let's face it the sooner it can all get done and organized the happier I'll be (which in translation the happier Chris will be:) So as some of you know getting ready for baby, baby room and baby stuff sometimes brings some emptying this or cleaning out that and for us it is no different.

About a year and a half ago for Chris' birthday gift I turned our third bedroom into Chris' "man" room! He had his own closet, I got all of his sports memorabilia from the basement and got it professionally framed, massage chair, his books and just made it sort of his oasis...

Well needless to say that will be babies room... Sorry honey:)! So disassembling that room, making a new man room in the basement (which means organizing the basement, wow!) and rearranging the office to fit some of the man room stuff, I am seriously exhausted and overwhelmed just thinking about it. Hence the reason why I want to start now so we can relax later; good logic right?? Anyway this past Saturday WE DID IT!... well at least some of it. Babies room/Man room half empty and office is finished!!! Yipee:)

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love sitting here, looking out the windows to the park across the street and just having an organized (I know the word of the day) place to work on the computer, pay bills, whatever. We still have to organize basement and move man room completely down there but there is something about accomplishing one thing that just makes you feel better! So here we are one step closer for baby garcia to join our home:)... can't wait!

So now that the cat is out of the bag!

Let's talk about this pregnancy thing that we've been praying for for so long:). I'm bloated and nauseous all the time! Actually a more accurate assesment is I feel car sick/ sea sick 24 hours a day, Lovely:)!
Foods that might actually kill me:)... chicken, actually meat of any kind, soup (I got nauseous just typing that word:), toast, butter, mashed potatoes.
Foods that I can sort of tolerate:)... breaded chicken patty, french fries, salad, CEREAL (wow how do I love my special K right now:), egg & bean burritos (don't ask?)
So I'm sure there will be more fun food updates as the weeks go on but there is a silver lining in all of this, I have it pretty easy compared to some of my other friends:). The ones that can't stop vomiting long enough to enjoy a minute of their day I do thank God that it's just nausea. Anyway other than my husband having to throw away a candle the other night while we were watching a movie because I thought I was going to die because of the smell and having to clean out my purse last night because there was some sort of sweet candy smell coming from it:):):) who knows everyone, this is the weirdest thing ever! More later...

GUESS WHAT!!!...

Baby Garcia due to arrive May 2009!

Fall Wreathes, Fall Leaves & Football

Well it's definitely that time of year, ya know? When I was taking my cute daisy on a walk this morning I was just realizing all the trees that are starting to change, have changed and some that haven't even started. I noticed all the football flags and paraphanalia out and about and of course all the fall wreathes on front doors and I just smiled ear to ear thinking oh my gosh it's here. Fall is here. Being from "the OC"... is that played out yet:)? I always loved this time of year. Still warm but there's a different chill in the air at night and especially near the beach and everyone starts getting their fall decor out and burning pumpkin candles; so fun. I'll tell you though living in Colorado where we have distinct seasons you can just feel it in your bones, ya know? And I don't mean the cold air because all this week it has ranged from 84 degrees yesterday to 74 degrees today but still the breezes are way different, the nights are definitely getting cold and the shade well it's downright chilly:). I'm talking on morning walks and nighttime walks you can wear a sweatshirt; love it! There is something about the changing colors and change in weather to get you excited and for some reason just thinking about family. So I took a few pictures from my neighborhood while I was walking, enjoy!..
As you can see there are some trees that are bright yellow and will eventually turn bright orange and then red and then some that are just green. This is a few houses down around the corner from my house, so beautiful! You can see the rockies in the background.

Of course this is our house but every team is everywhere around here.... Go Trojans, Fight:)!

Yes that's my front door, I didn't want to look completely crazy taking a picture of some random persons front door:).











I thought this one was one of the best examples of fall but not fully fall. This is our next door neighbors Ryan & Cary's tree and I love that there tree is this beautiful (ours is not:) so when we are on our front porch; which is often! We can enjoy looking at it. Daisy even prefers to go and roll on their lawn in the fallen leaves and sit in the shade of their pretty tree instead of ours. Chris calls her a traitor:). So anyway those are my thoughts today and I was so excited just to notice those few things about the weather & the seasons changing. Enjoy your Fall!!

So anyone else a 90210 fan.... the 90's version?

I LOVED 90210 back in the day. In high school I remember we would have "90210 parties" on Wednesday nights; even the boys:). So I am all about the 90210 era coming back with a vengence. I've been known to watch a repeat then and again or maybe always:)... Seriously did Kelly end up with Dylan? Where the heck did Brandon go? Did Steve & Janet have any more kids and what are they doing now? and of course Donna & David, the series finale wedding; where are they now? All of these unanswered questions. With all that said I was on the edge of my seat last week watching the NEW 2000's version of 90210 and WOW has TV come along way! My gosh the content and subject matter is insane. I can't believe what they are allowed to show on prime time television, insinuate on prime time television or any of the above. It was seriously crazy. Other than finding out that Kelly has a son (with whom??) and Brenda's back the whole thing was a bit of a bust!

So is anybody else ready for fall TV:)...

Our high today was 67 degrees, a bit overcast and crispy, crispy breezes all day! I LOVE IT!!:) It makes me crave pumpkins, fall leaves, fireplaces AND fall television! Don't judge me but I was on the edge of my seat for the Gossip Girl & One Tree Hill premieres last week; which were great by the way. But that got the wheels turning; now I can't contain my excitement. I know what you're thinking... losers! But honestly Chris & I are such homebodies and such dorks that movies and tv's are our entertainment. So here I am, only September 5th and no other premiers in sight until the end of the month... so that's my story:)!
Fall is here, so exciting!!

Look here's the thing...

I know no one reads this anymore; I don't blame them. It's almost been 3 months to the day that I've written:). Here's my deal I love the concept of the blog. I love keeping in touch through a blog, but honestly who reads them. I enjoy reading other peoples but I'm sort of weird like that. So I promise to try harder to be more current on my posts even if no one other than me is reading it!:) I look at other peoples blogs and funny stories about their kids, or their days or pictures of how big their kids are getting and honestly we have a dog. A very cute, very lazy, adorable yellow lab named Daisy and other than sleeping and eating she doesn't do much other than just be cute and a good companion throughout the day... SOOOOOO I want to be more interesting I really do, LOL:). I definitely can talk about other peoples babies. Because yes as some of you know I am up to my ears in babies and pregnancies!:) Some close, some far but up to my ears. My friend Sarah just had her little guy; Parker! Just found out that my great friend and neighbor is pregnant and due in March. My other great friend is due a day before her and then of course my friends who are already pregnant and are just waiting... One in October, One in November, two in December and now two in March... like I said up to my ears! Well I miss all those that I haven't heard from or chatted with in a while and hope that life is treating you well. We are doing great. Summer is over and now that it's September 2nd we are beginning the first few hints of fall which of course excites me to no end!!!! Absolutely favorite time of the year. The air is getting crisper, the trees are just starting to look & feel different:) and it's just the beginning to the greatest time.... The Holidays! Thank you Lord for your miraculous gift of seasons. Alright well like I said I will try to be better. Blessings everyone and Have a great first week of September... before we know it it's going to be 2009!

Well first off it's June 8th...

and the last time I wrote was Mothers Day, wow I believe that I am the worlds worst blogger! Anyway, it is indeed June already and the weather is gorgeous, the pools are open and us Coloradians are officially enjoying summer life... pool, bike rides, walks, amazing skies & sunsets and just chillin' with friends on the front porch. That is the amazing thing about living in seasons it's as if we all just sort of enjoy every day and every moment and every "season" if you will because it will change in a few months and every season brings it's own weather and busyness!! Colorado treats us well:). In sad news my Dad flew back to So. Cal. today and I miss him already. We had a fabulous visit though and enjoyed every moment, hung out, ate well, talked and just enjoyed our time together so that was great. Well I do hope I have more interesting things to say soon or my poor blog is going to go down fast:). 

happy mothers day!

To those of you that I didn't get to call today or just aren't sick of hearing it yet... Happy Mothers Day! I hope that the children in your life and the men in your life:) made this an incredibly special day, cheers to you:)! 

Love and Encouragement to all my friends who are mommies and I wish that I could take you all out to brunch and celebrate what an amazing job you do as a MOMs! 

kristin farnam, katie varela, louise johnson, kristen harris, susan cobb, nicole stout, sharri picard, michele wallace, katie gutknecht, 

darlene davis, leanne mather and anyone I may be forgetting:)! 

... and of course my new mommies to be:)

sarah anderson, paige carbone, lindsay johnson, andrea madura!

Happy May Day!

I really don't have to much to say other than I'm so excited that it's May 1st! 

Happy Birthday Nathaniel Shane Varela:)

Although at times this year has dragged on I just can't believe that we are into May already, crazy:)! This is a great month... life at work starts becoming crazy with planning meetings, wedding rehearsals and weddings! Our pools opens!!! (for those of you that live in "weather" you know how exciting Memorial Day is and how sad Labor Day is:) I think my Dad is coming out for a visit the end of this month and I don't know I'm just ready for Spring, Summer and hot weather:)... although I say that and it downpoured today with some fun flurries of snow ... that were not so fun:). 

Does anybody really know where I work? I sort of just thought of that question. I know everyone always asks about funny stories, crazy "bridezilla" stories or just crazy stories in general but I've never showed you guys pictures or anything. Go to this website...

www.lionsgatecenter.com

Cool, huh? So different from what you'd find in So. Cal. but tons of history and character. It's a great place to work and not many dull moments:). Ok well I'm actually at work right now (bad employee:) so I'm going to run, have a great May Day!

Memories....

Sometimes Chris & I look around and realize that we live in Colorado. I know that sounds funny but we were both born and raised in Southern California so sometimes it's funny that God has us so far away from "home". I would even go as far as to say that we tend to get homesick sometimes. We start daydreaming about going down to CDM and getting some Golden Spoon and just taking a walk or heading down for a date night which is as simple as grabbing some Gina's and just sitting on the sand or walking. So it's basically that "beachy" living that we miss the most but then we begin to think about our daily life there with work and busyness and realize wow we were struggling there. Not only financially but struggling to picture raising our family there in this sort of made up picture that I've always had in my head of making snowmen on Christmas morning and bundling up and going to an actual pumpkin patch with our children. Now I would say that with all the places that Chris and I have lived in our marriage from OC to Germany nothing is perfect! I know that sounds so simple to say but man is it true:). We realize that what you get out of it is really what you put into it... So with that said Colorado definitely has had it's moments! First off last winter with the blizzards, PLEEZ!! Holy cow that was crazy intense and I was about ready to pack up and leave:). The brown in the winter, not my favorite and being a bit landlocked without tons of water not our favorite either but MAN OH MAN God so knows what he is doing:). I say that because we could not live in a more incredible neighborhood... I know you've heard me say this before and it's probably getting a bit annoying now but I can't help it, this place rocks. We wouldn't leave strictly on the principal of our relationships and the community we've made. It is an absolute gift to be here, I can't stress that enough. I think I talk about it so often because we want everyone that we love and care about to experience life like this, ya know?...
Renting a stretch SUV limo for someones 40th birthday, who does that? I mean come on.... All but one of these ladies lives on our STREET!!! Seriously?? Isn't that crazy. We have the best time together.

Poor Susan was absolutely stunned to find her 15 friends and neighbors outside her front door with a stretch SUV limo:)! She is the one right next to me standing up with a jean jacket on looking a bit surprised:) You all would seriously love her she is just awesome and so genuine! (Friday 4/26)

Creating life long friendships with the people who live directly next to you! Seriously?? Where does that happen?

This is at a friend/neighbors house and it was Lindsay's baby shower. Cary lives right next door to me and Lindsay lives directly next door to her and Nicole lives directly across the street from us! Crazy, I'm telling you. Walking through life in community with people that you live next to and love. It's crazy! (Sunday 4/27)

The reason I titled this entry memories is because my best friend Kristin (who unfortunately does not live close to me:( and I were chatting about memories from Junior High, High School, College, early 20's and we were just reminiscing and getting sort of "sad" that were definitely growing up, more responsibility, did we "goof off" enough and mess up enough to be where we are today? You know how it goes... anyway, as we were sort of getting nostalgic she said something profound that rang truth to me loud & clear, she said, " Yes all those memories of our young adult lives were great and what not but not great enough to go back because when we are in our 40's we will be reminiscing about our 30's which is now. What memories are we making now!! And what will we remember from right now!" I thought that was perfect because when Chris & I do sort of question, Ok Lord really, Colorado? Ok whatever you want for us we will now take a step back and realize that if we live here for 2 more years or 20 that the friendships, relationships, community and MEMORIES that we make now will be irreplaceable later on in life and no matter where we end up here or there I will look back on the experience of living in a neighborhood that people only dream of with a huge smile and fond Memories!!!!!....... Now that I've said all that you all have to come out and visit so that you can experience a bit of it yourselves:)!

Family!.. Friends!..

So there are those people in life that just touch your heart, your spirit and you are better for knowing them. Well our first year of marriage we lived in Seattle, WA (as most of you already know) and Chris' cousin Darlene lived there with her family. When Chris & I moved they did everything to welcome me in to the family and welcome two kids from So. Cal. to the Pacific Northwest. They showed us around, mentored us, loved us, hung out with us and even threw us a shower with other family members that Chris hadn't even met before. They basically made our first year of marriage more of a gift than it already was. And believe me it was an absolute gift having family around after getting married and moving out of state the next week! With all of that said we think of them often and their family has grown from 3 to 5 within the last almost 10 years. Their oldest Drex is now 12, that just blows me away. Anyway they were randomly in Denver for an evening on an unexpected layover and WOW does God work in every detail of your life. I was coming off an incredibly difficult week and here they were, people / family / friends that have spoken so much truth & love into our lives in the past were able to be here and lay hands on us and pray for us, What a Gift!!! I want to keep writing about the power of our time together. It was only a couple of hours but it seemed like we were able to reconnect spiritually. I don't want that to sound hokey I just want to show the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit! We miss you Davis'......... Thank You Lord for the gift of their layover (even though it was under horrible circumstances of missing flights and losing baggage:( They will never know how much their visit pulled me out of a valley!)

What are best friends for!

So it's been a rough couple of days. . . just going through some emotional rollercoasters lately and have desperately needed a pick me up or some words of encouragement. With that said Thank God for close friendships because I honestly don't know what I would do without my best friend & sister Kristin. As some of you read my blog with our house pictures I jokingly stated that my vases were feeling empty and lonely; well to put a smile on my face Kristin sent me dozens of petite roses to fill them with! Now I have been such an emotional wreck that of course when they were delivered to when I opened the box and read the card I began balling and giggling at the same time because random acts of kindness like that are never really understood by the person performing them. As much as I've thanked her and told her how amazing it was she will never fully understand what a huge role those flowers have had in lifting my spirits. So if there is someone in your life that just needs a few words of encouragement or support don't forget to take even 5 minutes to call, email, write or send something to let them know that you are thinking about them, praying for them and loving them. What are best friends for ??? I tell ya, I got that question answered today, THANK YOU TIN!:) Love you dearly xo

There were so many that I was able to fill 2 full size vases for my dining and family room and have enough left over to fill a small silver mint julep cup for my bedside table so that I can wake up to them every morning!:) yeah!

Our House!

So I don't have many pictures of our house as it is now but I took a couple in the last few days. We're pretty much at a stand still for decorating or buying anything, budget and all:). We all know how that tune goes. Isn't it funny though that once you're sort of "finished" with your house there's a part of you that wants to start over and just pick all new stuff. It's sort of funny how that works.

So this is our living room. I think I was standing on the stairs. Those windows lead out to our front porch. I will say we love this room. It's definitely where I read, take naps, people gather to sit and just have long conversations after dinner or something. And those pictures are pictures that I took in New York. Those are my pride & joy, I sit in our leather chair; you can't quite see it in this picture and just look at those pictures, love them!

This is our master bedroom. Our room is definitely the one that seems to get the least amount of love while decorating. You always seem to address all the other needs of the house before this, which is actually crazy if you think about it but anyway we finally did a few things to it and now it's one of my favorite rooms in the house. Now I finally have a cozy corner in our room so that I can read, do quiet times and just look out the window. I'm telling you I don't know why we waited so long to do something to this room. We love hanging out in it and just watching movies.

Our dining room, look at that poor vase just waiting to put some fresh flowers in it. hint, hint j/k:).

Here is our kitchen, not in the cleanest state it's ever been but at least you can see what it looks like:). It was laundry day and the cable guy was there fixing something give a girl a break:):).

Alrighty so that's a few pictures of our house if you want to see anymore you'll have to come out and visit!!:)

Nothing to important

Well it's going to be a crazy weekend around the Garcia household this weekend! Along with a crazy work schedule today; meeting with brides and a wedding rehearsal later on today it just feels busy. Tomorrow my work has it's annual bridal show so that's usually a very crazy, busy day. I've got a wedding on Sunday and we've turned another OC Californian to the dark side:) my friend Eren's brother and wife are moving into the Denver area in the next month or so but Dan has to start work next week so he will be living with us for the next few weeks in order to settle into his new job. Should be fun and you know me it's always exciting for me to show new people around the area. Always fun watching all the Californians making their way out here and enjoying life:)...
Speaking of our house I've gotten some requests to take some pics SO I will definitely do that and post them later on tonight but I'm not promising anything:) since I've come home from my trip to Northern California, getting ready for Dan to move in and just rearranging, it's a bit of a nightmare in here:). Anyway I'll post those later. I've gotta run to work right now so all of you who read this enjoy your day and more later:)!

I can't believe it's April!

I know, I know it has been forever, oops:) Ok life's been a little crazy but I'm back. So the most exciting news over the last couple of weeks that I've been ignoring my blog:) is that I was able to get a much needed few days away and visit my bestest friend who really is more of a sister in Northern California BUT the best news is that I was able to be there for my nephews dedication!

Kristin, Colin and Auntie Sabrina. Please tell me how freakin' adorable this little nugget is. I miss him so much. This was the morning of Colin's dedication!

So needless to say we had a great time just connecting, laughing, crying all the normal things that happen when you get together with your best friend whom you live so far away from! It's crazy to think that we've been friends for 20 years!!! We kept saying are we old enough to be friends that long:). Anyway I loved every moment and had a fabulous time. I feel honored that I am considered Colin's aunt (since I don't have any true siblings of my own:) and spoil him at every chance I get! Enjoy some other fun photos from the weekend:).
Trying to help mama out with feeding my nephew some of his first solid food experience! Yum, yum nothing like bland mushy cereal and runny carrots:)

Yep folks that's Auntie Sabrina baby bjorning it:) Just practicing. .

(that is Krissy, Gavin's sister. Colin's other aunt)

Kristin, her mom and I were on our way out the door for a walk.

A Visit From Friends!

A wonderful friend came out to visit with her 2 babies and we had a blast. There is just something about having an old familiar friend visiting you in your new world. Now I understand that Chris and I have lived here for almost 3 years so it is not necessarily "new" to us anymore but it is definitely a new world when it comes to bringing old friends into it. . . does that make sense? All I'm trying to say is just that I love when all of our friends who are visiting get to experience our home, our friends, our Colorado. Well Michele landed on Sunday morning and flew back home Tuesday night (which is why it took me so long to get a moment to blog:). She brought Kendall her 2 1/2 year old; whom is smart, sassy and beautiful! Also with her was her new addition that I had never met, Kurt who is 10 months old. Now he is a charmer; he is inquisitive, adorable and has the most beautiful smile with two dimples! It is crazy how life just keeps going on . . . Michele with 2 babies, crazy! But that is how I feel about all of us, ya know? When we all met you, connected with you, became friends with you we were all in such different places, for some of us we have literally grown up together. I cherish my friendships and connections dearly and cannot wait until the next time that we are able to sit down and just chat about life, love, struggles and crazy moments. Here are some pics from our fun and crazy weekend. . .

This is Kendall she is 2 1/2 and is hysterical and adorable. The girl is the cutest little fashionista I've ever met, she did not take those sunglasses off the entire time we were at the park! Cutest ever I miss her and her voice already.

This is Kurt he is 10 months old and is one of the most beautiful babies ever! Give him a break with this shot I took it while he was eating so he is a little messy. . . but I thought it was appropriate because this kid can eat:). I loved his cuddle moments and playful moments. I mean look at him, he is to much!

Well it was so much fun for me to play the fun auntie all weekend and we had a great time. Kendall and I decided to switch sunglasses although she was still trying to figure out how my big sunglasses fit on her face:). WE MISS YOU WALLACE'S! Come back anytime:).

My Birthday

Well the big "32" came and went. I loved all my cards and well wishes but of course I do always miss the ladies of my life for our annual "girls night out" on my birthday. I know what some of you are thinking . . . Wow we haven't had one of those in a while, but give me a break I'm feeling nostalgic:). Anyway, I have made some fun and crazy friends at work and they took me out and we had a blast! We went to a very trendy restaurant in downtown Denver called The Corner Office! You should check out their website it's amazing that it's a website for a restaurant (http://www.thecornerofficedenver.com/) seriously it's worth checking out. We had a fabulous dinner and amazing drinks and then went dancing. It was crazy fun and I forget how much I love the energy of a city on a Friday night!

This is Roxy, Paige, Leanne, Amy, Me:) & Sarah! So overall it was a great birthday and it's officially over. For those of you that know me well you know that it's a "birthday month" for me not just a day:) so today is March 8th so that marks the end of another birthday for Sabrina:)! Thanks again for all the birthday wishes . . . Until next year!

Spring?

IS IT SPRING YET???

Now for those of you that are in So. Cal. don't worry about this question because you don't have to worry about it BUT for those of you that are in the; What will the temperature be today? Will it be in the 50's? Oh please Lord say that there won't be snow today? You're feeling my pain. We are beyond ready for the beautiful mid 60 -70 degree days when we can begin packing away our sweaters with confidence knowing that we will not need them until at least end of October. I know we're "springing forward" our clocks on Sunday and Easter is in like a week (well maybe not but it feels like it:) but all I dream about are consistently warm days & nights. . . is it spring yet?? That is the question of the day:)!

Don't even get me started on Is it summer yet? and Is the pool open yet? That is for a different blog & a different day:). I am off to work, so as you ponder this question today leave some comments of encouragement! because your comment might be the one that gets me through the day:)!!

People We Love & Miss

Jon & Katie at Clipper game . . . I know we're not in it, but we took it:)

Cutest Farnam family ever! I miss my BFF and my favorite (only:) nephew!
Great visit with the Norton's. We ordered that sunset just for this picture:).
Dad & I at Thanksgiving . . . I miss you the most Dad! Love you!
The Nye & The Yodes! What more can I say. Man I miss you guys.
Oh my gosh, seriously love you Anderson's and Kurian . . . and little Anderson:) we just didn't know it yet!

If you are not in any of these pictures it has been way to long since we've seen each other!!! Miss you guys!

Work in Progress!

Ok seriously how do we make the picture of Chris & I SMALLER!?:) I'm not joking. I've been working on this a little today so that I can send it out to you guys but oh my gosh! Could the picture be any bigger? Bear with me, work in progress.

I have no idea what I'm doing!

I'm not sure who will find this interested. I'm not sure if anyone will read this but I have to jump into this century and try it out. Well let's cut to the chase; I'm sitting in my robe drinking tea on a Thursday morning in March and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the unknowns of life. Now I know what you're thinking, "Oh this is going to be one of THOSE blogs" the kind that consistently turns on the philisophical side of things when there is nothing to say. Well I assure you that that is not the case.
When I decided to blog about our life and our journey it actually stemmed from something much more simple. I was reading a blog about a couple that decided to move to a different state and their new home. She had pictures of new projects that we're getting done around the new place. Asking people what they thought about the paint that she had chosen and I thought; Brilliant! Moving to Colorado almost 3 years ago seems like such a drastic and crazy move sometimes but I would have loved having input not only on big things in life but on cheezy things like, do you like this couch we just bought? Here is a picture. For those of you that know me you know that I am all about keeping in touch with pictures. I love to know what you look like? Have you dyed and cut your hair and I won't find out until we meet again or your latest Christmas card comes out. Are you pregnant but because we are so far away that the only evidence will be the next time we talk I will hear crying int he background! I want to continue the journey that so many of us have started so long ago and I want to be a part of the journey even though it is a little trickier these days with everyone so spread out. . . SO with that said; Welcome To Our Blog!
