I finally made it

Hey family and friends. I have finally decided to join the blogging world because as you all know I really stink at calling or staying in touch with anyone. I also really stink at scrapbooking - so I thought this would be my shortcut attempt at scrapbooking but it is taking way longer at setting up this blog than I thought it would. Maybe when I figure out what I am doing it will go much quicker.

For those of you that I haven't seen for years - here is an update on my life. I just passed my twelth anniversary in January. Wow I can't believe I am that old. I have lived in the Boise area most of those years and I love it here. It is pretty tough for me to want to go back to Wyoming at all because it is way too cold. I love, love Boise! I have five pretty cool kids. Sam is my favorite girl - she happens to be my only girl but she is still pretty amazing. I wish I was only so cool when I was her age. She is coordinated and beautiful and very girly (she obviously didn't get that from me). I have four boys that keep me running all day long. They make me tired just watching them run around in circles. They are a lot of fun though. Justin is 9, Devyn is almost 8 and Tanner is almost 7. Jared is our cute baby and he is super fun. I work full time and my official job title is a mouth full - I am a legal assistant supervisor at the Ada County Prosecutor's Office - the easy version of that is that I supervise a group of girls and we do the paperwork that keeps the bad guys in jail. It is a pretty amazing job and I am really grateful for it. I have been there almost ten years and it feels like my second home. Chris works for the railroad and travels a lot. It is super great when he is at home.

I am really excited because tomorrow if the first Saturday that we don't have anything going on in so long I can't remember and I have a whole month until volleyball starts! Sam is pretty sad that she has to wait so long in between sports, but I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow.

I hope to be good and post often. I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. In reality I probably won't do so great - but I will give it a good effort.
