Is anyone still out there??? No, we have not fallen off the face of the earth even though it feels like we have. Today I ran into a girl that I knew in high school, the conversation was polite yet awkward all at the same time. She was a girl that was very popular all the guys wanted to date her and all the girls wanted to be her. As we attempted to play 'catch up' she proceeded to tell me that I live a charmed life. "WHAT THE?" I thought, the last 6 months have been the most challenging of my life. So to hear her say that was crazy! Then she told me that I needed to update my blog, that she was right about. But it got me thinking...I haven't blogged because we have had some huge changes lately that were so overwhelming. I felt that if I blogged it would just lead to complaining and let's be honest, no one likes a Debbie Downer! But hopefully we are settled now and a little more stable. In a nut shell-Andy has been so busy with his MBA school, I've basically been a single mom. Working full-time and taking care of these precious kids has left me just short of insane some days. We rented out our house and moved into a condo that was for sale. After being there 3 months it sold and we had 10 days to move out. Which wouldn't have been so horrible had it not been 1 week before Christmas. We had so much help from our families they were the ONLY thing that got us through. We have felt like we are moving backwards a little instead of forwards, which is a tough pill to swallow at times. But hey that's life! Andy turned the big 30 in January, that was quite a milestone! Andy finally quit construction and was able to get a job that he LOVES working at IHC. It's so amazing to have a husband that comes home happy after work! We have had very healthy kids so that's been a blessing. Even through all the ups and downs, I can honestly say that we have seen the Lord's hand in everything. So looking back I guess she was right, I have lived a charmed life. We have so much to be grateful for. Here are some pictures to catch you up.

| Life is full of unexpected pleasures, I am forever grateful for my little family! |
