Merry Christmas . . . . in August??







So yesterday I stepped out my front door and low and behold I found this on my doorstep




My very sweet friend, Karli, left me my first Christmas gift of 2009. Her tag says it's from "who else? Your Christmas Sister. Couldn't resist. . . got one for me too!" She is so cute! We both love Christmas! Right now as I am writing this post I am watching Fred Claus and listen to Christmas music. This was such a nice surprise and I love my gift. Thanks a bunch Karli!!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

So Ty's birthday was on the 25th. I am so sad that I don't have a picture but my camera was getting repaired and I just got it back. Anyway, we had a fun time. Ty doesn't like to do much for his birthday and I don't know why. Every year I want to through a party and have a BBQ at our house and every year Ty says let's go to dinner and a movie, which is one of his favorite things to do. Anyway, we went to lunch and had dinner with some friends last week end. Didn't go to a movie, nothing was playing we wanted to see. I finally broke down and got Ty an i phone for his present. I think he is in heaven. He loves tech gadgets. He's been singing the "I love technology" song from Napoleon Dynamite while holding his phone. He's so funny. Anyway, he loves it. He is always looking for new apps and finding more "cool" things that the phone can do. Last week we were laying in bed just about ready to turn the lights out and I asked if I can see his phone to check my email to see where we were meeting to go running in the morning (at 6 AM!). He hands me the phone gives me a big kiss and with a huge smile on his face he says it's that the coolest phone ever! He is so funny! Anyway, happy birthday, sweetheart! I love you!

Slacker, Slacker, Slacker!

So I know, I'm a slacker! It's been 8 months since I last posted! I'm going to try to do better. In the last 8 months we've traveled around visiting family (CA, WA, UT), vacations on the Oregon coast, friends/family came to Portland, Tyler started a new job, I took a leave of absence from Nike and now am back at Nike, started training for a half marathon, and the biggest news is we have submitted our paper work for adoption. These last several months have seem so busy but I am really going to try not to neglect my blog.
