What's been going on...

Sorry for the long absence, our camera is broken and a post without a picture is just… words (because I don’t have any cool alligator wrestling, baby gurgling or miracle happening stories) but I will let you know what’s been going on in our lives anyway!

Ron, Nedra and Rachel are down in Florida visiting the Marcos Family (lucky) and so we have had the house to ourselves for TWO WEEKS. It has been fun to ‘play house’ and feel grown up in our own house- cooking our own meals, cleaning and being able to run around in our underwear (just joking… we do that anyway!) We even had some friends over for a “Build your own Pizza” Party- which turned out fun.

Ben just recently lost his job as his employer lost a client and had to let a couple people go to stay afloat. He is doing okay and working hard to find something new. This economy is teaching us both to have tough skin and just persevere. But in the mean time he gets to stay home with ME! We have been working in the yard a lot- clearing out the old and preparing for the new growth. Ben built a burm in the back and trimmed some big trees.

Just a couple days ago we went on a hike up at Chautauqua Park- we hiked up to the flat irons and looked over Boulder. It was a windy day but it was beautiful and a great way to start out our spring/summer.

So…that is what’s been going on in our lives. We will try to keep you picture posted once we get our camera fixed! Hope all is well!
