Happy New Year and One More Reason to Blog

Happy New Year Everyone!!! We had a really fun New Year's Eve. We took the kids to see Zoo Lights at Hogle Zoo. We have never been before and didn't know what to expect, so we were really surprised that we had such a good time. Andraia's favorite part was hearing the "Twelve Days of Christmas" and seeing the lights follow the song. We also enjoyed seeing some of the animals that are usually 'in hiding' when we are there during the day. It wasn't too cold, so we really lucked out that way!





I also have another reason to blog this year. As I type this, my brother Mike is on his way to Moab. After a few years of living apart (off-and-on) from his wonderful wife, Shannon, they are finally both working and living in the same city. I am so happy for them to be together full time and owning their own house!! My family is pretty close, and we try to get together as often as possible, so we will really miss being with them. Moab isn't too far away though, so we will visit them as often as possible!! We already have the Spring Break trip booked!! Love you Mike and Shannon!! Keep in touch for the kiddo updates!
