So much Newness!

Aargh! So long!

Yeah, it's been over 2 months since I last added to this thing. I was reprimanded by a dear friend the other day so I'm back at it.

So much has happened that I'll just give it in a quick rundown:

1. I got the job I referred to in my last blog. I went to CA for nearly 3 weeks of training and am now settled in my home office and loving it. I will be doing my first school visit tomorrow and I'm way excited for that.

2. Speaking of home office. The office I'm speaking of is in our brand new house! We moved in about 2 weeks ago so we're still getting things organized but we are getting there. It's been really nice to be in our own place again. We got a really great deal and were able to finally replace our hand me down furniture for some new stuff. New couches, new kitchen table and chairs, and. . .if you really know me you'll understand why this next one is so awesome. . .a new surround sound system. lol. I'm such a geek! Oh well huh?

3. Lincoln is 11 months old now. Crazy to believe we almost have a one year old kid. That's weird. He has done a lot of changing since we moved from UT. He has two teeth on the bottom and right now is cutting 3 on the top at the same time. Yay for us! He's been a little buttface lately as a result. :) And I mean buttface in the most loving and fatherly way! His big accomplishment happened this past Friday when he walked out of my arms and took 5 steps before crashing to the carpet. But now he's getting around a lot easier. This development is both excting and suddenly troubling for us because we now need to put things up higher so he can't reach. The problem is that me and Monica aren't that tall so we can't reach stuff anymore either!

We're all doing well out here. Now that we have a house we can officially extend the offer to any of you who dares to venture down south to AZ to see us is wide open.

I'm adding a few pics below. Enjoy!

WOW -- You're back from the dead! I was wondering where you've been hiding. :) I understand how busy life can be -- I can barely keep up with it either. I'm so happy for you two -- it's exciting to get your own place. Lincoln is at such a fun age where they start to talk and walk and get their own personalities. Ellie just turned 2 this week, CRAZY!!! Keep in Touch! (Add your list of friends on your blog, it helps!)
