It's been awhile

As you might have guessed, it's been awhile since I last updated this blog. Since my last (and first) blog, Steve and I got married (pic 1), bought a house (pic 2), and got a dog - felix (pic 3).

Yes, we know that Felix is normally a cat's name. That's why it fits him so well. He's lazy and he acts like a cat when he plays. He's 11 months old now.

We got back from Texas about a week ago so we could spend New Year's here with friends. Steve's family helped to take care of Felix while we were in Texas. We had a great time with family in Texas and we had a great time hosting friends for New Year's. Grayson Buaas is the baby in the pics below. He's my cousin, Jennifer and her husband, Travis, new 2 1/2 month old. He is adorable. The other dog is Nettie, our friend Amy and Troy's dog.

Steve and I are getting ready for our 2 1/2 week trip to Australia and New Zealand in February. We will be in Australia for a week and in New Zealand for 9 days. We were hoping to see some friends in Australia but it looks like we're going to be leaving the day they arrive. We're definitely seeing my friend from high school in New Zealand and will be staying with her for a few days. I'll post pics from that trip when we get back.

Until next time...
