Fine

I have gotten a lecture about not updating my blog.

Fine.

I was a little burned out. I'll admit it. Plus, last year, I started a new project called Project Life. It's by Becky Higgins. What she suggests is that you take a picture a day and that way you can simplify your scrapbooking. I thought that would be a great way to keep track of the family and our daily activities. But, because I was doing that, I felt like everything I posted on the blog was a repeat of my scrapbook. I need to realize that none of you are probably ever going to see that scrapbook.

Get over it KC. Update the blog already!

So, i'm not gong to play catch up.

November to June is a LONG time.

A LOT has happened. Doesn't it always?

So, what I will say is this....

We are leaving for Disneyland on Saturday!!!

Brian was laid off of work at the beginning of May and found a job just last week.

With a new job, comes new vacation time. He won't be able to use any of his until January...

so we decided to just go now before he starts his new job. Secretly hoping we can still go again in October!

We are surprising the kids. They have NO IDEA!

We are leaving saturday and staying with Derek and Jennie.

When they leave for church on Sunday, that's when we will tell the kids it's time to go home.

We will get in the car and start heading west instead of north!

I'm SO excited!

Really, you have NO IDEA!

Ok, so I'm not playing catch up, except for this...

I ran a HALF MARATHON!

I felt SO good and so proud of myself!

My goal was to finish...which I did.

It was AWESOME!

ok, enough of that...
