My mom in the Snow

It's been a while since I blogged last. There has been a lot going on! Here are some of our most memorable moments of Fall/Winter 2010...

In September I had 2 great visitors...first my mom! She came out and just spent some time with me. We shopped til we dropped! It was so much fun having family visi

Steve surprised me by telling me that my sweet friend Jeanine was coming out for a long weekend visit! Needless to say I sobbed with joy! When you don't have close friends where you are, you sure do miss them!!! Jeanine and I did lots of shopping, meals (met a new awesome friend...tell you about in a sec.) and just spent time catching up. It was a blessed time!

Ok, so about my new friend...

As Jeanine and I were thrift shopping, we came across this lady who was by the changing area. Jeanine struck up a conversation and we all started talking. Her name is Mitzi. She is a RIOT!!! We became friends on FB. She invited me out shopping with her friend, I accepted. We had a FANTASTIC time and the rest is history! LOL! She and I seem to be separated at birth. Scary! Her family and ours now have a really great friendship and I know the Lord has put this great family in our lives for a reason.

SNOW!!! We had our FIRST official snowy holiday! We were showered with beautiful snow for Thanksgiving!!!! The boys are LOVING the weather up here! Lots of great fun!

For Thanksgiving, we had the awesome opportunity to spend that day with some LONG time friends the Garcia's. We have known these people since High School! We cooked all day and spent the holiday at their house. It is so nice to have "family" here that you can count on. We had an awesome time and made it a bit easier not being with our California family.

In December, my parents came out for Christmas. It was so nice seeing both of them. The boys really enjoyed their time here with them. Best part, they got to see snow before they left back home.

For New Years, we spent the evening with Mitzi and family and rang in the New Year with the traditional banging of pots and pans.

That's it in a nutshell...
