Slowly Learning

So, as you can see, I've been doing a little bit of updating to the blog. Thanks to those of you who have replied back to me with your blogs. Due to all of you and your cute blogs I was able to add a little bit of flavor to the ol' blog site. Right now I'm trying to get a slide show going of our photos - any comments, words of wisdom, etc. on how to do that? What the best site is? We are heading up to Bear Lake next week! I hear those raspberry shakes calling my name!!

"Santa Fe are you there?"

So right now we are in New Mexico visiting Ryan's sister, Shelly and her family in Albequerque, NM. It's been so much fun! From swimming with Bryson & Abbey to teaching Parker that snakes make the Ssssssss noise- it's been wonderful. Yesterday we went to Santa Fe, what an AWESOME place! Every building is adobe with a flat roof, there is beautiful iron work on the windows and it's home to some of the oldest chapels in America. There is also the oldest home in the United States here (It's the one that me & Bryson are leaning up against. I think it was built around the 1600's). We saw some beautiful sites, amazing colors and learned a very important lesson: chili powder and chocolate - it may sound intriguing, but really it doesn't mix well! Sorry that you have to tilt your head to the side to see most of the photos, but I'm learning!! There are a few from downtown Albequerque in there too. Enjoy!

The Basic Beginning

So....I am now offically on the blog. I thought this would be a great way to keep family & friends up to date on our crazy lives. We are in a wierd spot in life right now. Both Ryan & I got laid off from our jobs in Oregon (it was like we missed a neon sign or something) and we are now looking into a new chapter in life. Ryan has his resumes out everywhere so.....we really could go anywhere. Kind of exciting and scary all at the same time, but I think we are both ready for the challange!
