Here we go....

Ok so I have finally decided I would give this whole blog thing a whirl, like I have nothing else on my plate! We have friends and family scattered all over the place, and not everyone is into the whole Facebook thing so I am hoping this is the next best thing to keep everyone informed on what we are up to! So lets get started!!

As most of you know Thomas is working over in Spokane and will hopefully be coming home in August! I am keeping my fingers crossed this is the case, the whole long distance thing is getting old and the puppies and I are just ready to have him home full time. Thomas loves his job and enjoys building things so as long as he can keep his hands dirty he is a happy boy!

Ok as for me, I stay pretty busy between working and going to school full time, taking care of our kids (a male German Shepard named Buddy, and a female boxer named Kona) and not to mention trying to keep things clean and tidy around the house! As some of you know, that isn't as easy as it seems!! I am officially on summer "break" from school, so I know can breathe a little when I get off of work. Not having to go straight home to study will be a nice change for a few months! I am killing time at night with training for my second 1/2 marathon June 25th with some family members!! I am doing the Rock N' Roll 1/2 Marathon here in Seattle with my Aunt Joni, Aunt Shelly and my cousins Jessica, Shayna and Tarah... with this group we should be able to keep our motivation and spirits high through the whole 13.1, yes 13.1 miles!! Don't worry, I will post more on this after the event!!

Lets see what else... We are planning a few camping trips this summer with friends and family, we will be celebrating the marriage of Thomas' sister Dana on August 27th!! Matt and Dana had a private ceremony June 3rd in Lawton, OK and will be having a reception here in Washington in August! We are extremely happy and excited to celebrate this wonderful time in their lives!! We love you guys!! We will also be having a new addition to the family around July 11th! Thomas' brother Bryan and his girlfriend will be welcoming a baby girl!! Thomas is going to be an uncle, and don't worry we will keep everyone posted on this as well!! Well I think that just about covers things for now, hopefully I will get better at this whole blogging thing and find some ways to get this a little more interesting!!
