It's been 6 months- How about another post?

Well, it's been a good 6 or 7 months since my last post. I don't know what happened! I kept on thinking about posting, but never got around to it. Now here it is, half a year later, and I'm trying to figure out what I should write about. I guess I'll just try to sum up the events of the last few months in a list. I like lists.

- Jared and I went to Chicago this summer. We had so much fun wandering around the Windy City. We shopped on the Miracle Mile, ate Chicago dogs and deep dish pizza, and saw the Sears Tower and other famous landmarks. Thanks Rob and Tammy for letting us tag along!

-Jared started school at the University of Phoenix. He is loving it, and is getting great grades. He is so smart! This February, he'll already be 1/3 of the way through his MBA program. Woohoo! (I had to take this first day of school picture and embarrass Jared in front of our neighbors...)

-We went to Las Vegas with the Olsen family in September for a little get away. We enjoyed a few relaxing days of shopping, shows, and HEAT! We got to visit the Hoover Dam, which was pretty impressive.

-Jared and I were John and Kate for Halloween. Our costumes looked great if I do say so myself.

-I made my first pecan pies for Thanksgiving. They looked so wonderful, but I am very ashamed to say that they were gross. I don't know what went wrong. Sorry family, I'll try again someday!

-We had new family pictures taken with the Olsen's. Picture day was one of the chilliest days of the year, and we were outside with no coats on. Needless to say, it was a very short photography session! What do you think of Jared's long curly hair?

-We celebrated our 2nd Christmas in our townhouse. Wow, time sure does fly. We replaced our really small tree with a normal sized tree, and it looked great!

-We spent some quality time with our families and friends. We sure do love them!

Hopefully it won't be another 6 months until you hear from me again!
