Where have we been? I'll tell you where we've been.

So longest post ever right here. I AM BACK!!!! After moving from DC to Atlanta, a trip to Seattle, a few weeks at my new house, and throw in a Ragnar Relay, I am finally able to blog. Not to mention that it took me going out of town for 4 days for Lee to finally set up the computer. So all my big stuff is over and my new life in Atlanta can officially begin, without interruptions. But what a great adventure we have been on. There is so much to say and so much to talk about but I want to hit it all so it will mostly just be the highlights of life.

1. We moved, and so far we love it! We love our place, we love our neighbors, we love our ward, we love the area, we love the weather. I think we are going to be really happy here. We miss our friends, and we miss familiarity, we miss places we used to go etc, but we are excited to keep exploring this new phase of life.




Our new place.

2. My baby boy turned 1. I cannot begin to tell you the joy Austin has brought into my life. He came into this world as a happy kid. He is nothing but a ball of energy, love, and joy. He balances my life. He knows just how to defuse the bomb (Makenzie) and he loves her and makes her forget all her cares and sorrows. He has been exactly what our family needed and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. We cannot wait to see the wonderful person he becomes.



3. I visited Seattle, it was good to see family and old friends and go to old stomping grounds. There is nothing like going home. If only for a little while, just to remember, breath familiar air. I don't know what it is. I went back to the house and peeked in all the windows. It was weird, just another reminder that life goes on.

Katie, Laura and I. It was so good to see you girls PS why does this always happen to my pictures, why don't they flip?

Avery, my stinkin cute niece.

Laura and I, BFF!!!

4. I ran another Ragnar. It was the best!!! I had the most fabulous team. TEAM CHICA (SHOUT OUT!!) We had so much fun and we worked our butts off. I can't begin to describe the fun we had and the friendships we made. The experiences that we went through etc but we really grew close in those 2.5 days and I am so grateful for the opportunity that I had to run that race with some of the most spectacular women I know. Thanks Ladies!!! The best part was just being a part of the Now DC Ragnar Famous "TEAM CHICA." I think everyone knew who we were by the time the race was over. You know you rock when other teams are coming up to you saying "you're a member of Team CHICA, we heard about you!" HA. Or when Bill from USA Today stalks your team taking pictures and video taping your runners only to end up in a full interview and then telling us to look for the article in October before the Tennessee Ragnar. Wouldn't that be awesome if we made the paper?!! If anyone sees it let me know.

Van 1 Minus Melissa who is actually running

The whole team menos Catherine who is also running

How freaking awesome is my team?!!

The whole crew, after 36 something hours of running we did it!!
Now I am back, adjusting to normal, whatever that is, I still have to figure that out. Life sure has tossed us around this last little bit but we are happy to have each other, and be on a new adventure together.
