What a great year it has been! As you will see on our (forthcoming) Christmas card, the year was fun and FULL of travel, and now that it's the holidays, we are staying put. Thanksgiving was in our home with 20 people (I didn't do ALL of the cooking by myself, thank heavens), with Christmas decorating following that weekend. For those of you who don't know, we did a lot of work on our home this year (literally tore down walls...see photo). I LOVE the way it's turning out and each new thing (shall I list them?... expanded kitchen, added office/french doors, change living room, add new piano, paint paint paint, sand/strip hardwood floors and re-stain VERY dark, new furniture, new mudroom/bathroom, new "stuff" in Kayla's room, "family tree" and re-do family room, set-up all guest rooms. NEXT: double-ovens, new stove, new island. So excited!!) is making our house our own and making fun memories with our family. Our house is yours when you come to town and we look forward to showing you the before and after photo's!So, by way of travel, I think we went to California 6 times in the 10 months we've been married. Much has been for Matt's or my work, and it's been nice to have the kids be able to join us so much (all but once, I think!). I had a convention in San Diego in September and Matt and I stayed at the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado... it was a lot of work, but it was also beautiful. I love Matt's job and his ability to work from any state (he's over the western region so he's joined me on business trips to Vegas and San Diego so far!). The pix of Matt in a suit and me in a grey/silver dress is from the Convention I'm talking about (sorry about the red-eyes...too lazy to fix that right now).
Okay, I'm a rookie-blogger and can't figure out how to put pictures EXACTLY where I want them, yet... so I'm going to just start another post and go from there. Don't laugh at me.
