Our little cousin,Chelsea, from Illinois was flying out to California - well her flight was delayed leaving St Louis, so she missed her connection in Salt Lake!!!! We picked her up and got to hang out with her for the night! It was awesome!!

Bailey has been roasting hotdogs and marshmellows a lot since we got the firepit!!! Its a good time, and it makes dinner easier on me!!! Plus we got the pool up! Finally

well - greg is back in the 'stan, for a few more months...we had so much fun together while he was home...we got all moved in to our new house and slowly we are getting everything done that goes along with buying a new house! i miss him

Bailey made it to Utah this week, after kicking some butt at the tournament in Kansas City!!! Her team took 1st place...

The kitchen...obviously

Toryn loving on Greg!

It's official
UTAH plates!

So - I made the long journey from Illinois to Utah!!! Thankfully, Greg's sister, Lori, flew into St. Louis and drove the 20+ hours with me!!! A newt, some fish, 2 dogs, 2hedgehogs, 2 girls and 1200 miles later...we made it! Anyways...I was only here for about 2 weeks before Greg came home from Afghanistan, and I only had about a week to unpack as much as possible!! Needless to say things have been non-stop crazy busy! So much to do...but, we did find time to cruise up to St. Anthonys and play on the dunes!!!

Our new house!!!

Wow - it has been forever since I have been on here...4 months! Let me tell you - I have been busy! I am back in Quincy...but only for a few more weeks - then I will make the long journey to our new house in Utah! We are all super stoked about the move...not so happy about all the packing and cleaning! Anyways - I will try to update this a little more often, and I might even recap the past four months...but don't hold your breath! haha

WOW!!! Christmas was excellent, considering Greg and I are on the other side of the world...we both gave each other some amazing gifts!! I got some new books... Palin:Going Rogue and a couple from my new fav author,Jean Sasson! I also got some awesome Avenged Sevenfold clothing and the coolest barstool (with - of course - Avenged Sevenfold on it) I think it will look really nice next to the Black Label Society barstool that I bought him for Christmas! Both of which are at his house and the earliest we will get to sit on them will be May...Great minds think alike! Greg also bought me the Sony e-reader!!! This might be one of the best gifts I have ever received...seriously! Greg didn't do so bad himself, he got a new electric razor, a few t-shirts and sweatshirts (most with skulls of course!!) He is looking mighty fine walking around Jalalabad with his new Carhartt coat - it is super cold over here! He has some new DVD's to entertain him as well! Miss Bailey had an outstanding Christmas too! Some red LED light up drumsticks, the last 2 Harry Potter DVD's, way too much soccer gear, some band tee's, and Carhartt coveralls to keep her warm while she rides her new 4wheeler! She did tell us that she would rather have both of us home instead of all those presents...and then she said, "well you guys and the 4wheeler!" HA! I can't imagine where she gets her sense of humor? Anyways - I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
