The Father's Day collage of Smoodgie from the beginning. How many kids have photos when they were a cluster of cells 5 days old!
Rose Bowl 2010
Here we are one year ago at the Rose Bowl. Oregon lost to Ohio State, but it was still a fun time. We made the road trip and stopped in SF to visit Auntie Pam and friends on the way. I was pregnant and feeling car sick all the time anyways so figured why not do something fun in the meantime! We had a great time with our friends the Waltons. Angie was pregnant too so we got to commisserate. We are super excited that the Ducks are in the national championships this year! Go Ducks!
Beginning with the end 2010
Let the blogging begin with the end of the year! I'm excited to record events of our lives through this blog. Thanks to all who are helping me to get going.
2010 has possibly been in the top three years in my life (we'll say top three just to be safe!).
The year started with a trip to the Rose Bowl to see the University of Oregon play. We had a great time visiting with the Walton's and being in sunny California in January. Stan and I spent an afternoon on the beach and San Clemente and said - wow wouldn't it be great to live here? I guess it pays to dream aloud, because 9 months later that was the case. Here we are on the other side and dare I say I'm so very happy. I miss my family and friends, but love our new home, new ward, new baby, my dear husband who I feel closer to than ever before. The downside was wishing my mom was physically here to share all this with, but I've felt her close and she promised before she left that she would do what she could on the other side to get my smoodgie here so I am truly blessed. My faith is strong and I am committed to living worthily.
