I’m writing this from our new house. We just got our appliances delivered and all but the dryer are plugged in and ready to go. We got my desktop a new 19″ wide screen flat panel which I think is nice. I’ve been using my 17″ CRT since I got it in 2001. We pretty much have all the utilities (including internet) all set up. We moved some things over but there is a lot more to go before we will be done. We’ll try to keep what’s happening on here as we go.
This Christmas was a fun time to spend with friends and family. Starting off the Christmas festivities was three different gingerbread house making parties: one with friends, one with Bible study, and one with work. Then after that was some great times with both of our families.
Speaking of houses our home is almost done, we will get the keys on February 1st, but until then, take a look at the latest pictures.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to the new year!!
Last weekend was our 1st anniversary. We got to relax and just enjoy spending time together. It was a great time to reflect and reminisce about the past year and the wedding. We had a great time looking at all of the photos again and remembering how much fun we had with everyone being there to celebrate. Thank you everyone for making it such a wonderful day.
On other news, we’ve started the home buying process and are purchasing a new home which should be complete on January 31st, 2008. It is a really nice town-home with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in a really cute community at the south end of Atascadero (for those of you not on the Central Coast, that is only about 15 minutes north of San Luis Obispo). It has a really big back yard that overlooks a dry creek, and a two car garage. We’re really excited and are looking forward to when we can move in! Photos of the model home (backyard is much smaller than what ours will be).
Joe and I have been having quite the busy summer so far. We’ve been to two weddings: Daryl and Christina and Curtis and Lyndsay which were very enjoyable. We’ve also had the opportunity to serve a bunch at church, and Joe started to play bass guitar with the worship team every other Saturday (which he has been enjoying very much). The weekend after the 4th of July we took off a few days and went to see the Olsen clan (Mark, Vivian, Craig, and Matt) and just spent some days relaxing (and getting to see Ratatouille).
Our other pass-time that has been keeping us busy is that we are looking to buy a house on the central coast. It’s been a very eye-opening experience and we are learning a lot. We’re excited to see how God leads and provides. We’ll keep you posted when we start to get further down the path, but we’ve found an area that we like, so now it’s just a waiting game.
I’m not sure if anyone reads this or not, but if you do, thanks for being a part of our lives! 
Joe and I have had much going on since we first shared our nuptials. We adopted a fun cat named Bear (pictures in the gallery), Kristen graduated from college and became a full-time employee at Web Associates, went with Kristen’s family to Disneyland, moved for the first time together to a nicer place closer to downtown SLO (pictures in the gallery), celebrated both of our birthdays, and enjoyed going to numerous parties and showers for our friends (we have friends getting married and others having babies).
Spring seems to be fast-forwarding into summer now, so we will be attending numerous weddings and posting the photos here, so stay tuned!
Welcome to our journal. We hope to be updating it with stories of our life together, to join our friends and family to this adventure we are embarking on. Please stay posted as we share with you our thoughts.
