Back From Colorado

Well, I just got home Monday from my quick trip to Colorado. I was there to help throw a bridal shower for my friend Danae Jensen who is getting married May 28. It was also a great time to catch up with family and friends. Although not as much as I would like because I was so busy running around like a crazy person! I was able to have a wonderful dinner with Floyd and Laurel, go to a fun Pampered Chief party, and go to church at Foothills on Palm Sunday. I also had a terrific time seeing Danae and Scott’s new apartment after coffee, and then of course the bridal shower, which went off without a hitch I am happy to say.

I am so happy to be back in the warm weather! Now that I am home it is time to start focusing on getting ready to move. I can’t believe we are just two months away from being out of our
first house. I am going to be sure to take lots of pictures. Please keep this move in your prayers as it looks like we are going to have to move ourselves because Matthew is not going to get his orders early enough to have the Air Force move us before I leave for Colorado once again.

However, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Matthew and I both get to join my family on an Alaskan cruse to celebrate my grandparent’s fiftieth anniversary! Matthew graduates from class on June 12 and the cruse leaves June 13 so even though it’s cutting it close he will be able to come with us. YAY!

I hope you all are having a great week!

Here is a picture of Danae (far right) and her mother and sister at the shower.

New Year!

Wow does time fly! I can't believe we are already at the end of Feb 2009! Happy New Year! :)

Matthew and I had a wonderful Christmas in Colorado with family. We were also lucky enough to get to go to Boston to help celebrate the marriage of two of our closest friends. We spent new years with them and had a special reunion with many of our Air Force Academy friends!

My family was able to come out and visit us is CA just a couple weeks ago! Over the long weekend we got to go to Disneyland. It was a first time visit for my two sisters, my dad, and me! We had an amazing time being together as a family and going to the happiest place on earth!

The latest news I wanted to share with you is that Matthew and I found out yesterday that we will be moving to Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, Montana. Matthew will be finishing up training here for the next couple of months. It looks like we will be leaving sometime the beginning of June. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to leave. It will be bitter sweet to leave our first house and the friends we have made here.

It is my goal to keep up with this blog much better than before. I hope this new year finds you well! God Bless!

Here in Cali!

Matthew and I have finally made it to beautiful Vandenberg Air Force Base in California! Thank you so much for all your prayers! Two days after we got here, we were put into a wonderful house on base which is a huge blessing as we only have one car. Our belongings arrived safely on Friday and we have been unpacking like crazy! Matthew has two weeks off except for a few meetings so he can help unpack and get the house in order. We look forward to keeping you posted as we get settled and get into a routine.
