So much to be Thankful for!!!


This Thanksgiving we were able to go to Seattle, WA with my family. Katie is currently doing a rotation for her P.A. program at Harbor View Hospital E.R. in Seattle. So we thought, why not head to Seattle and spend time with my Aunt Linda, Uncle Gary, Cousins Karina and Brian and Jon Marc. We were so excited and had a lot of fun. Karina and Jon Mark have a beautiful house in West Seattle. They had room for all of us to stay there, so we invaded their home : ) and
cooked lots!

I absolutely love my family and we had such an amazing time being together. I know I am extremely blessed to have the family I do and that we get along so well. We hung out at home most days and played games, watched football and ate a lot of food! We did spend one day in downtown Seattle and went out for Sushi! Yum!!


We are now back at home and will be in CO
for Christmas with Blake's family. We are
excited for that and look forward to lots of
friends coming home too!!

This fall has been busy. We had a fun weekend at Crooked Creek for Young Life Camp. We took about 35 kids in all and had a blast. This was my first Young Life Camp and I can admit that I am hooked. The girls were amazing and were so welcoming to me : )
Blake also went on his first hunting trip. He went with his good friend Noah. Noah and Candace are a couple that we have gotten really close. They are great friends!! They didn't come back with anything, but they had lots of fun.

We are back!!!

So it has been over a year 1/2 since I have updated this blog : ( I apologize. I wonder if anyone still looks at it : ) Well alot has happened since our last blog. We still live in Colorado Springs, Co at our condo. We got a dog, Zoey, who is amazing. She is a little ball of joy! I am nursing at Evans Army Community Hospital, Fort Carson, Colorado at the Mother Baby Unit. Blake is still with Dutch Brothers Coffee but moving toward another job very soon!
My health this last 6 months has been up and down. I had a bowel resection and was in the hospital twice. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and am having to change my eating habits and such a lot. Blake and I have enjoyed eating healthier and love to cook. We are finding fun and new recipes all the time. We have found amazing friends here and am volunteering for Young Life in Monument, CO. We love working with the kids and look forward to this year!!
