And I’m Back….

So life has been busy…which means I haven’t blogged in awhile.  In the past week or so we’ve managed to go home to visit my family for my dad’s birthday…which was a lot of fun.  While we were there we got to try out my brother’s family’s new hot tub (as they now live like 2 steps away from mom and dad).  Anyway…we give the hot tub 2 thumbs up.  If we had a bigger house…and a lot of extra cash laying around….I’d buy one.  (Donations for the hot tub fund are always welcome!)  We also got the chance to see our oldest nephew (Doug) play in a basketball game…which was also a good time.  Even better was the fact that I haven’t been in my old gradeschool in I don’t know how long.  The rest of the time was spent just hanging out with mom and dad…and eating…which was great as usual. 

Another exciting thing happened this past week.  After much thinking and concentrating on the matter…Jared and I bought I-phones.  I was apprehensive after the initial shock of purchasing them…but woah…they are too cool!  Jared’s pretty much attached to his…and I’m pretty hooked on mine as well.  It’s pretty much the coolest cell phone/PDA that I’ve ever experienced…and it’s all mine!!!  (Woah…totally just sounded like the youngest child in the family there.)  Anyway…it was a fun purchase. 

 Other than that…I’ve been busy with work and getting the house back into order.  The cleanliness of the house took a major nose dive when I had the flu….and honestly…I’m just now catching up with all of the laundry and cleaning.  It’s almost back at 100% though!  We did take some time to relax this weekend though.  We ordered some pizza from Mario’s (our favorite local place) and watched “The Good Shepherd” (not so great) and “Once” (an AMAZING indi-modern day musical). 

 Anyway…now we’re caught up…for the most part.  Adios!
