Happy New Year...

a little late, I know, but things just haven't settled down yet.

We had a wonderful Christmas~spent lots of time with our family, ate a ton of food and made alot of memories! We also experienced some sadness as well...Chris's Grandma passed away quite unexpectedly. She was 93 and lived an amazingly full life! We are so thankful that we spent time with her this summer as we toured the Midwest. Grandma Miller made wonderful sticky buns and even went four-wheeling with McKenna. We know that she is in a much better place now. Here is a picture of Grandma and the girls...



Chris surprised me with a trip to Vegas for our anniversary. We celebrated 10 years of marriage in November and were finally going to get some time for just the two of us. We left after Christmas and had a great time. We didn't have anything planned out, but we did have tickets to see Mystere at Treasure Island on Sunday evening. The rest of the time we spent shopping, eating, walking, some gambling and just enjoying each other's company. It was nice to have "us" time, but we were also glad to get back home.
Now we are just trying to get back into the routine, but Chris has been sick, so its been challenging...he throws my routine off! McKenna went back to school yesterday and Caris was back today. Chris has been home and he hopes (and I do too) that he will return to work tomorrow. Of course, I can feel my throat starting to hurt...big surprise there...it will just keep making the rounds through the family until we've all had it!
No resolutions for me...I never keep them. However, I do need to start exercising again and cut back on my Dr.Pepper intake. These will be challenging!
I guess that's all for now...hope everyone has a great start to the new year!
