Our Family

Well this is really our first blog and along with the first blog is the first family photo with all 7 children.

Unfortunately we could not get ALL of our grand babies in the photo's, but that does not mean we don't love them just the same.

We met a wonderful photographer who took all of our pictures and I am beaming proud how well they all turned out. The whole idea was to get our pictures taken so that we could send out Christmas Cards this year. And yes for the first time I think ever I sent out cards to our friends and family.

I wanted to include a letter telling how we were doing but I just didn't get it edited in time. So much has happened this year that I am afraid it would have turned into a book instead of a letter!

Michael and I celebrated our 1st year anniversary on March 19th of this year. And as I write this I think oh wow, our 2 year anniversary is just around the corner! I can say this about marriage... I love Michael with all my heart and being married to him is a dream come true. He truly is the love of my life and the way he loves me is incredible! We have a great relationship and a wonderful marriage. I am looking forward to many, MANY more anniversaries!

In November Michael and I got the opportunity to go to the beautiful island of Oahu! Spending time with the man I love in paradise was truly amazing! We definitely want to go back one day! It was our much delayed, much needed Honeymoon!

We have both been busy with work. Michael will celebrate his 5 year anniversary with Priority Dispatch in early 2009. He is doing what he loves to do, and that is technical support and he is so great at it, he received the Employee of the Quarter award this year. I am so proud of him.

I have been with Utah Interactive for 3 1/2 years now and still love the job I do! Even if they pile more work on me every week. I guess I must be doing something right. I feel that in today's market I am so lucky to even have a job! I won employee of the month in September and with that award came a gift card which we used to purchase our Family gift for Christmas... A Wii!

Oh how the kids will be surprised!

Well we're looking forward to the Holiday's and hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Holiday!
