Well, we have plenty of time to blog right now and that is because we get two snow days (today and tomorrow)! There isn't much that is better than getting a phone call saying that you don't have to go to school!
It is snowing like crazy and has been since last night. We have shoveled the driveway 4 times! Luckily we have 2 shovels and it goes quicker when we both shovel.
Today was full of relaxing, shoveling, taking a walk in the snow and wishing for another snow day (wish granted). Tomorrow will include a trip to the gym, baking, making chicken noodle soup and getting ready for school on Friday (sigh).
Sorry to our family members in Craig (also teachers) who never get snow days; maybe someday :)
I am making a pledge to be more assertive about updating this blog. I guess once in a while is better than never... right? So here is my effort at capturing 4 months of life!
July 2009: - We celebrated Lauren and Joe's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding up at Joe's family's cabin and the reception followed in Craig. There was a lot of celebrating with friends and a lot of dancing :)

- Trip to Hawaii: see below.
- Yard work: we used the summer to our advantage by creating a beautiful flagstone patio with a built in fireplace (Thank you to the Bensons for you help)!
August 2009: - Getting ready for school. This is my (Ang) first year as a full time teacher... woo hoo!
Tucker and Wrigley - Wrigley is growing up!
September 2009: - We celebrated my birthday and Labor Day by participating in Tour de Fat. It is a bike parade put on by New Belgium Brewery to promote riding bikes instead of driving. It is a fun, crazy event!
- Breakfeast tradition starts- we started a tradition of going out and/or cooking breakfeast every Sunday with friends

October 2009 - Winter park: We decided to head up to the mountains to check out the leaves. We enjoyed time with friends and a chance to get away. Thanks Jana and Jack for letting us stay in your BEAUTIFUL house!
- Merri's housewarming party in Severance. The highlight of this party was, of course, walking to Bruce's Bar and trying the famous Rocky Mountain Oytsers. They were a little too chewy for my liking... no thank you!
- Raking leaves- enough said

Jack and Jana are sooooo good to us! Thank you!
There is a lot of life that happens in 4 months, but those are the updates. Hopefully we will be more loyal blog authors from now on.
Hello world, Once again, it has been a very long time since we've blogged. Part of me thinks that we should just give up and erase the blog. But, then I think that this is a great way to look back on our lives, so I might as well update with the big events. So, even if nobody reads this, we can look back in the years to come and think about the good ol' days.
So, even though it was three months ago, I'm going to blog about our trip to Hawaii. It was a very quick decision and we knew that we were leaving only a week before we were on a plane. We lucked out because Chris's aunt Jana and uncle Jack generously offered us their condo in Maui. And another great thing was that we flew very cheap with my dad's buddy passes. So, we invited our friends (the Bensons) and we hopped on a plane to Maui.
We had such a blast. We relaxed on the beach, went cliff jumping, drove the Road to Hana, snorkeled, hiked, swam with turtles, wondered through town and much more. It was such an adventure and we wouldn't trade it for anything. And an added plus was that we got to celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the beach.
