LONG TIME, NO BLOG!



This is our first blog of the year as a certain sister recently pointed out. Time has gotten away from us for sure. There has been a lot going on in the past few months, here are a few highlights!

Christmas (yeah, it's true, we haven't even blogged about Christmas!):
As you all know we did not go home to Washington for Christmas, but we did have some special visitors for the holiday! Thanks Mom and Dad for making the trip! We had a great time doing all kinds of Tennessee things including the Grand Ole Opry, Gaylord Opry Land Hotel, Andrew Jackson's home (Old Hickory) and of course Christmas dinner!




And some Guitar Hero! So much fun!!!



Superbowl:
This year the party was at our apartment. We invited Tim's classmates (10 people) and I was already worried about having that many people in our tiny apartment. Then more people were invited! We ended up having 17 people in all!!! Oh my goodness, there were like 7 people in our 2 bum kitchen. It turned out to be an awesome time! Although, I don't know if we will have it at our place next year. We'll just have to wait and see!



Birthday:
Thanks to my hubby and best friends, I had just about the best birthday ever! The Saturday before my birthday, Tim had to go to school to study, so I was at home in my pj's relaxing. I was on the phone with my Mom when all of a sudden Emily walks through the door. I started yelling and screaming and jumping around!!!! Tim had gone to the airport instead of school and picked up Seth and Emily. I still can't believe they pulled it off! We spent a great week hanging out with our best friends doing what best friends do: The boys toured the Corvette assembly factory and the Maker's Mark distillery in Kentucky. Meanwhile the girls got our toes done up and shopped till we dropped!





5K Run:
Some of my co-workers convinced me to run with them as a corporate team in a 5K run on April 10th. I have always hated running, why I said yes, we'll never know!

Go team, go!


We did great, scored 4th in our division! And for some crazy reason we have two others planned for this summer which I also plan to run. So running is my new thing, I have a goal to run the entire 5K without stopping, Ive got a ways to go, but having fun and feeling great!

San Diego:
A couple weeks ago, Tim and all of his classmates flew out to San Diego for the American Academy of Audiology convention. He spent 4 days in the sun having a great time checking out the impressive exhibits and all the sunny sights of southern California! Some of the highlights included going to a Padres baseball game, a Beach Boys concert on the deck of the USS Midway (aircraft carrier!!), AND BEST OF ALL...Cami drove down one afternoon and met up with Tim for lunch. They both had the best time catching up on everything!

Things to come:
Tim is making his way through finals this week and next, and is gearing up to working full time on his research project for the next two months. Heather is still working at Zander Insurance and is really enjoying her coworkers. She is going through the process of training for her next 5K...who would have thought?! In June Heather will be flying to Seattle for her friend Jamie's wedding. She will be meeting her parents there for a few days of fun in the Emerald City as well!

So that concludes our first update of 2010! Haha! Sorry Cami and everyone else for slacking sooo badly. Here's hoping that we stay up to date at least for a while. Love you all!

A post wouldn't be complete without a cute picture of Draco!
