I'm back...I think, well at least for now!

Ok, I know it's been a long time since I blogged. So here I go.....
Life has been interesting but fun! Joel and I moved out of our apartment and are very happy about that. We are currently crashing with the rents and trying to buy something or waiting till the Lord tells us what He wants us to do, wherever that may be.
I know I haven't blogged, but I've enjoyed reading all your blogs. Blogging is insane though. If you don't blog people get curious, they tell you to update :-), or they kick your off their links on their page....hahaha. Anyway, thanks for bearing with me.

With bumping into a lot of people that we haven't seen in a while in the past two weeks, thanks to Congress, we've been asked what's new and what are we up to? Well...I honestly don't know. We are enjoying just being together, doing random things, taking walks (sounds corny, but we do) spending time with the family (mine and Joel's), spending time with our Church and being as active as possible, and of course.....being Aunts and Uncles and loving it! We have 2 beautiful nieces and a handsome nephew! They are 3, 2, & 1 year old! Look what I made for my Niece Eliza's Second Birthday :-)

We do have some exciting news...Joel and I are planning a two week Europe trip in November for our Anniversary and "lets do something awesome for ourselves since the fire really stunk." (which has consumed a lot of us). We are going to visit Joel's cousin in England and travel all over England, Scotland, and France. We are so excited! I'll definitely post on that.

Last Sunday we went to Joel's cousin's corps and held the flags for their baby's Dedication. It was so nice to see this commitment that the parents made, as well as the family to participate in the spiritual growth of this beautiful baby, Benjamin Joel. Benjamin is truly a blessing and a miracle. Over the winter we helped Jenny and Samuel (the parents) set up the room and the house for this new blessing (that's another thing we were up to :-))

The Month of May was crazy for us. We had both of our Niece's birthday parties, Youth Councils, Chris' college graduation in Boston, & 3 Weddings; among other things.
My tribute to May....


So I hope this is a good recap...(is this ok Allison?) :-)
