Back on the Blogwagon!

Facebook killed the blog! But I'm hoping to resurrect it now that we're in Norway. So many funny, frustrating, and just 'new' events happen daily here and they're all just lips away from being forgotten. So...in order to record our lives - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and to share it with all of you, I am really going to put forth some effort to keep this up to date!

For Cindy - likely the only reader of this blog

My birthday last year......though same cake this year! (Cheesecake Factory Tiramisu Cheesecake...the best of both worlds!)

Attempt at fancy photography for Father's Day 2010. Nobody looks at the camera; doesn't matter, can't see them anyway! :)

We did not know he was doing this until McCain's aid asked if we could 'get a regular pose this time'.

Date Night with Will, after he 'finished' preschool. Officially a kindergartner, although there is no kindergarten in Norway.

Almost 20 years ago I met a friend, who would quickly become my BFF. I still see the same fun, silly 16 year old I knew all those years ago and have so many fond memories. Distance sucks - Cindy lives in Houston and I ....don't. :) Someday, I hope to be able to get together for morning walks and coffee - some sort of food at least, b/c that's how our friendship started - and talk about our kids and husbands; still being goofy, still being 100% secure in friendship and trust. We've all heard of the 3 different kinds of relationships: a reason, a season, or a lifetime... Cindy is a lifetime friend, so I dedicate this blog post to you, my dearest of friends, a recap of the past year since I've last blogged to catch you up on photographic evidence of the last year. (Or just hack into someone's FB account so you can get my daily updates!) :)
