Partay!

So we had a little shin-dig at the Ferreira’s house on Friday night because we wanted to get together with all of our old friends one more time before we move to Northern California. It was so much fun to catch up with everybody and hear about what’s been going on in their lives. It was crazy to see all of the little bodies running around the house and to think that our friends were the ones that produced them! :) We just wanted to let you all know that we love you and we’re grateful to have you in our lives--and we’ll continue to update you through this nifty little blog thing. A big thanks to Emily and her family for being so generous and giving of their time and opening their home for us! If you want to see more pictures from that night, go to our favorite web places page on our website and visit our on line photo gallery.

Mother's Day

I just wanted to say that I’m grateful to have such a caring mom who has done a great job of raising me. I appreciate her even more now that I have a little one. And speaking of my little one...I can’t believe how much I love her and how much I want to do things right for her. I love being with her every day and watching her experience life. I can’t say enough about her and I know all you moms out there know how I feel. I’m going to keep this short & sweet today.

We're Finally Up and Running

Ok, so let’s figure out how long it’s been since our last blog entry--December of 2006 to May of 2008--the answer is a ridiculously large amount of time. Bo set this whole website up when we first got our Mac computer and we were all excited about it and then, like so many things we do, it got pushed aside while we were caught up with everyday life. But then I (Laura) started looking at so many of our friends’ blogs and websites and it reminded me of what a great way it is to keep updated on what’s going on in the lives of the people we care about. So I made a goal for 2008 to update our website/blog at least once a month. So here’s our first update--only 5 months into 2008. Not bad. I think this is going to be really good for me to keep some form of journal. I used to be so good at writing in my journal daily, but then something happened. Let’s see, what was it again? Oh yeah, I had a baby and my life got turned upside down and all of a sudden I don’t find myself having time to do some of the things I used to do. Go figure.
So anyway, here’s an update on our status right now. We are currently in the middle of a life upheaval. Our condo in Santa Ana is up for sale, we are moving to Paradise, CA (a couple of hours above Sacramento) in the second week of June, and Bo is going back to school for his business degree and is leaving the world of investment sales to pursue something that he doesn’t loathe (although we haven’t quite narrowed it down yet as to what that might be). We’re going to be living in Bo’s grandma’s basement, which will be a huge relief to us financially. The basement has a bedroom, kitchen, living room and it’s own entrance, plus Melia will finally have her own room upstairs! That’s the part I’m looking forward to the most after having spent the first two years of her life in a one bedroom condo. Paradise is beautiful and we’re really looking forward to being out in nature more and the slower paced life. The thing we’re not looking forward to is missing all of our wonderful family and friends we’re leaving behind. :(
Anyway, more thoughts to come later on this, that and the other.
