Stop Bitching (Thanks Charissa)


So, I can't tell you how many people have complained about us not updating our blog. We have now and no one has posted, except Charissa. So, this post is dedicated to her!
God, I love you Charissa!

One more really important part of December


We were so blessed to have some amazing friends help fly us to MN to hang out at one of my favorite places on earth. I learned how to knit too! which is a new love of mine!

And we got to get our baby on!

a few details

so, a quick rundown of the last 10-or-so months:

-we moved out of our shitty apartment in april to stay with some friends (pete, amy, and their kiddo elliot) from our church for a couple months:











-alyssa went to costa rica with our church on a "missions trip" to love-up on those crazy costa ricans:

-wedding bells in august:











-alyssa had her tonsils removed in august after we got back from the wedding. our friends from chicago, megan and aaron, decided to get a mile-high. we are glad their here, in fact conor is very excited the megan let him borrow her f-me boots:













-in september, brandi and todd, and child cooper (sis, and bro in-law) came out to hang, and to watch the broncos do whatever they do:











-in october we celebrated 3 years of bliss in vail. the next weekend we celebrated my step-dad's 60th also in vail:




















-in november our minneapolis friends (and alyssa's college roomies) came to visit and later alyssa went home to iowa for thanksgiving:











-alyssa got a job as a nanny, loved the kids to death, but due to the crazy-ass parents chose to look for a new job doing kind of what she did before (residential treatment for abused and neglected kids) except in their own homes instead of a live-in treatment center.

-BLIZZARD!









-conor started school... again. it's been 8 years since his feet crossed the threshold of higher learning.

...in a nutshell
