Blogging for a year

It was about this time last year that I started my blog. I remember because I added pictures from the Rose Parade and I have a few more this year too. It was a cloudy day but the flowers looked spectacular. There are some more pics of Erik on his way to D.C. and of course of Elise. Enjoy and don't forget to stop and smell the roses!! :)

Arizona

I have posted in a while. I was waiting to download some pictures, but work has been so busy that I haven't had time. So I will just write instead. This past weekend I went to Arizona for Michelle's baby shower. It was so fun and great to see her. She is ready to pop any day now and I couldn't be more excited for them. I drove with some co-workers and we had a great time and Elise actually did pretty good most of the time.

While I was there I did some house hunting. Jared was surprised I didn't put an offer in but we talked about it last night and he told me to get the ball rolling. So I'm going to do my homework on this home buying stuff. There seems to be quite a lot of teaching jobs there and I really love the Queen Creek area. I'm so excited to start all of this. Jared hasn't wanted to do it, but I think he's finally breaking down and realizing that LA is just not the place for us and our family. He's scared to move because it's the only place he's ever lived, but I keep trying to tell him lots of people don't live in LA and love their lives. I'm sure he'll enjoy it :)
