Happy 2010 everyone! What a year! It has been so long since I have actually blogged on this. Tons has happened, holidays have been past, and family has visited. LOL New year so time for some new blogs. I think the reason that this is possible is mostly the new wireless router we got so we can use our broadband internet downstairs on the lap top.
I think the biggest news is that both of our parents came out to visit us. Ben's parents came out for a few weeks in July. They liked but not quite loved it. They loved the weather but the population and abundance of city really intimidated them. They were happy and content just sitting on the patio. We had a few days in between the visit to get things in order before we turned around and flew back out to California to visit my mom and attend a wedding, which Ben was a groomsman in. California was HOT (100) and we spent the majority of our time in the airconditioned house. We definatly both agreed that next time we go out there we will be renting a car and staying in a hotel. My mom had to work almost the whole time so it wasn't much of a vacation but very nice to see the family. My mom just came out to celebrate her 50th birthday. The tickets were a present from us and we got a really good deal on them. It amazes me that tickets from here to L.A. cost as much as from here to the east coast. Ridiculous! My mom had a blast ad lapped up every bit of sun she could cause it was sure a cold winter in Cali.
This September we celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary and honestly could not be more happy together. This assignment has brought us so much closer. It is the greatest feeling and amount of love and understanding I have ever had for someone. We also celebrated our 1 year anniversary here! Three more to go, well 2 1/2 more like it.
We had a great holiday season! Thanksgiving we spent with some good friends that we've made, the McGee's. We sponsored them in and have remained friends ever since.
For Christmas we just did our own thing, which I am starting to love more and more. I did have to work in the morning but was able to make it home by noon to celebrate Christamas dinner. We decided to see what all the hype about Prime Rib was. We didnt care for it much but I think thats because we didnt know how to cook it.
