2012!

I wasn't so good at keeping this blog up to date in 2011. Here's to hoping I can do better in 2012!

1. New Years Eve. We were invited to an adults only party just down the road. I'd watched Bucky for Megan earlier in the day, and she offered to take my kids for a sleep over that night so we could go out. It ended up being 11 couples that went to the party. They had fondue, played some simple games and wrang in the new year. I think that's more than I've done to celebrate the New Year for a long time. We had a lot of fun.

2. Another fun date. Jake and I were able to go to a Jazz game together. One of the insurance carriers had seats that they gave to Magellan. They have two sets of seats, so we shared them with Lou and his wife, and Scott and his wife- the first half we sat in row 14 (I think?), and the second half we were on the floor underneath the hoop! We also got to go back to a buffet room for snacks at half time. The Jazz haven't done as well this year- but the game was against the Hornetts, and they won!

3. My Joshers. I posted this on my Facebook page on Josh's Birthday: "7 years ago today Jake and I welcomed our first child into this world. I can't imagine life without this guy around. I'm so thankful for the great leader and example he is to his younger siblings. For the smiles he knows how to so easily provoke, for his tenderness, for his inquisitive mind, and for his laugh. We love you Joshua Daniel!" And I wanted to not the responses:

Cherolyn Hill Rowland I don't know him very well but one morning I was backing out of my driveway with my kids in the back on our way to school. Josh was on his way to the bus stop and he motioned for us to drive out while he patiently waited. Then he gave us all a couple really big wink winks. It was awesome.
