Ok, so this isn't the normal New Year's blog. This is the long over due blog. The, I haven't blogged since before Thanksgiving, which means I have a lot to update blog. So, I think the fastest and easiest way to provide you with a proper update is through pictures. Since I have last updated....
We finished the kitchen....
My family came to visit. So we went skiing...

And visited Pike's Peak and had dinner at P.F. Changs....
Then I hosted Thanksgiving dinner...
I sliced open my finger trying to julien carrots (whoops!)...
I had my wisdom teeth pulled (with no swelling woo hoo!)...
I got glasses...
A pipe burst in our crawl space...
We saw a play starring a friend (bet you can't guess what it was)...
We went skiing with friends (and my husband was not happy about stopping to take a picture)...
I got a hair cut...
We traveled to Illinois...
...where I got to see my friend Sam and her family...
...and meet my sweet niece for the first time which was my favorite Christmas present this year...
...and Kevin and I took our puppies for a two mile run and wore them out...
...and played killer bunnies (twice)...
...and then we drove home, and Hoeffer couldn't get comfortable...
...where we picked up a friend's dogs while she is out of town with her husband who is on R&R...
... and I got to plant my aero garden (countertop, self-sustaining herb garden) that I am really excited about.
Also, without pictures, I set up my Christmas tree and Kevin has started working on building a server in our house. Our media server is up and running and now he is working on our NAS. I have also mostly packed for Mexico (we leave in a couple of days). And my stocks are doing great (I passed a 75% gain on my initial investing today!). I have no New Year's resolutions, but I am excited to start the year. Once we get back from Mexico, we plan on trying 30 days of Paleo eating, so you all can expect that our favorite recipes will definitely be shared). I am also looking forward to a slower pace that allows for more workouts and blogging. But this year is also bringing a new job in a new unit and I have to say, I am excited about the change.
