I'm a bad blogger!

Okay, so I've thought about updating this thing probably every week since July, but things got busy and I got lazy. So lets take this by a month to month update.

August: Jer and I went to Cozumel, MX with my mom and her husband for a week. We went scuba diving and Jeremy went on his first night dive and loved it. Needless to say Jeremy ate his weight in tacos and loved every minute of it. At the end of our trip I got a parasite that sucked. We got back to the states and Jeremy took me to urgent care where after three hours they just told me to take some pain killers. Don't you just love the doctors. We also went Chicago to visit our friend Beau. It was my first time there and had a blast. Jeremy worked there one summer so it was fun to go visit.

September: During Labor Day weekend we went down to AZ to visit Jer's family. From there, with his family, we went to Rocky Point, MX. We stayed at this trailer park, one trailer for eight people. And it was scorching hot, so needless to say not the funnest vacation but we still had an okay time.

October: October started our good. Both of us were just working and I was doing two classes online through Metro. But the fun thing about working with kids is that you get sick when they get sick because they don't realize it's not okay to sneeze/cough in your face. So the thursday before Halloween I was at work and the kids were sleeping. I started getting the chills and then my back started hurting really bad. I went home early assuring the lead teacher I would be back the next day. I barely made it home and crawled into bed before I couldn't move. From there it only got worst. If you haven't guessed it yet, yep I got the Swine Flu. The horrible stuff lasted about 4 days but the cough stayed about 2 weeks. And of course Jeremy got it too! But now we can proudly say WE SURVIVED THE SWINE FLU!

November: Our one year anniversary was on November 8th. Jeremy totally surprised me and took me on a SAFARI!!!! It was so so so fun. We love going to the zoo and this was just so fun. There were lots of African animals including cheetahs and lemurs. All the place needed was a red panda and I would have been in Heaven. The year went by fast and can't wait for the next one. We spent Thanksgiving in CO and Jeremy experienced his first Thanksgiving bowling event. It was really fun and we had a fun time hanging out with Lindsay and Noel.

December: After finishing up with work, we headed down to AZ for two weeks. We made gingerbread houses one night and did a white elephant exchange with extended family. Christmas day was fun, Jer's family does presents a little differently. Everyone takes a a turn opening one present and then the next person, then the next. It'll be interesting what our own family traditions will be when we have kids. The day after Christmas we went up to Utah for week and went snowboarding. I took lessons the first day and the second day was okay. I was so sore! Jer got stuck in waist-high snow for about 20 minutes during one day. His sister Bri helped me on the big mountain. I told her she should be an instructor because she's so patient.
For New Year's Brittany and her boyfriend Jonathan came up and we played apples to apples. Jeremy and I actually stayed awake till midnight which was pretty good for us.

January: So during Christmas break we decided that we were going to move to Colorado! So we got back I gave my two weeks notice at work so I could get to Colorado to start full-time at Metro. We drove one of the cars out and drove 20 hours straight. Jer is still currently working in Cali until he finds a permeant job in Colorado, so keep us in your prayers.

Next couple of months: We are really excited to go to New York in March. That was my christmas present from Jer :-). We are so thankful that we have each other and our friends and family!
