January 2013

Wow, I have slacked this year! We put our house up for sale September 2011 and got an offer in January 2012. We closed on the house in March and rented back until May--hoping to find a new house by that time. We put an offering in on a short sale in February and in March were moved to first place position and then we waited and waited and waited. While we waited, Rich and I cruised the Bahamas, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands for our 10th Anniversary. We moved in with my parents in May and finally closed on the house in July. We took the kids to Legoland in and Huntington Beach in August. We did a ton of remodeling and finally moved into our new home on September 15th. Hanna was baptized in December. And here we are with another year behind us and a new year beginning full of possibilities!  I was just made the Webelos Assistant  Leader and Rich is the Assistant Bear Leader.

Here are a few before and after pics of the new house and a few highlights of the year.
