- I hit 1.5 years in my intership with Intel and am now in the middle of a mandatory 6 month break. I briefly took a job with a company called MyBinding.com and hated it! We have been toying with some ideas about starting our own businesses and are starting to work toward those! We are in the process of taking over your parent's janitorial business and getting new customers. It has been interesting so far and I am excited to see where it goes. Long-term, our goal is to be able to run our own businesses from home so that we can be home with our kids ;) You have a potential offer to work as a golf instructor this summer and we are also very excited to see where that leads!
- We went on a 2 week trip to Mexico with your family about a month ago. It was around 90 the entire time we were there...gorgeous weather. It was surprising to us that we did not enjoy this vacation as much as the first time and we learned that we love to be adventurous- we are hoping to only go to mexico every other year and use the alternate year to go somewhere new and explore new cities and activities! We also discovered that 2 weeks is a little too long for a vacation! We took fun family pictures on the beach that turned out beautifully!
- It is now full on winter in Oregon and so far, it has been ok! I was very worried about being cold all winter long, but it has not been as bad as I thought. We have a bunch of frogs that live under our house and they are sometimes a little noisy, but pretty cute! we have also had a bunch of issues with flooding...we put a car port in our back yard and put gravel in it which elevated the ground around our house so the water is all pooling right under our back porch. we currently have a huge pile of gravel in the back and are attempting to even out the ground!
- We have been leading our small group this season and hosting it at our house! It has been interesting, but overall a good experience. At first, it felt way too small, but after Emily started attending again with baby Claire and Tamara started attending more regularly, it felt a lot better! We are not sure if we will be hosting again next season- trying to talk to Rosie and Nathan about having it at their apartment, but we will have to wait and see..
- We are getting a puppy! Your parents are bringing back our sweet girl from Mexico on January 9th and you could not be more excited. You watch bull terrier videos on YouTube for hours on end and talk about it constantly. I am not anywhere near as excited as you, but it will be fun to have a new addition to our sweet little family! We are thinking we will name her "Cecilia" and call her "CeCe" for short ;)
- We are heading to Eugene this next weekend for Ashlee and Danny's wedding! I am a bridesmaid and am pretty excited for it! We will be heading up on a Saturday for the rehearsal dinner and then will be heading to a bed&breakfast for a romantic night to celebrate our 6 month anniversary! The wedding will be Sunday, December 16! I can't wait!
- You have been brewing beer with your brother, Cesar, and Lupito...interesting, but you seem to be having fun ;)
-I started taking an adult women's gymnastics class and just love it! I still have so much of my tumbling- it is awesome. I recently got my layout full back on the floor! and I almost have my cartwheel on the high beam back!
- You are in your last week of school for this semester and then you will only have ONE semester left! You have been working really hard and have been getting awesome grades and I am so proud of you!
- You got a snowboarding season pass this year- technically your Christmas gift, but pretty early ;) You are very excited about it and I am very excited about the reason that we got it for you ;) ;) ;)
That is about it! Life has been very busy, but very fun and we are just loving it!
Thank you for being my husband and my best friend through it all! I am so excited to celebrate our 6 month wedding anniversary and then Christmas with you this month! A year of firsts for us... :)
