CRUISE!

Mr. B and I went on our first cruise--so spoiled, so lucky. Best part: we met up with our best friends the Croxalls. We had a lovely, relaxing, hilarious and fun time. We went to Honduras, Belize and Mexico, and I can't wait to cruise again!

Cruises are good for you.

Last port: Cozumel, Mexico, where we snorkeled, swam and danced on a boat!

Best vacation ever.

December happenings

Our little girl has turned 8! Audrey is becoming a lovely young lady and we are very proud of her. She had a highly successful tea party birthday with friends at the beginning of the month. She will be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this summer in Washington with her extended family. It's great to be eight!

  I got a job! I am teaching an online writing class for BYU-Idaho's Pathway program. I start in January. It's just 10 hours a week, but good experience for my resume and brain.

Here's my official instructor picture:

 Merry Christmas! After going on a cruise, having grandparents here, we celebrated a nice Christmas with our family of five. Christmas night my sister and her family came to visit for a week, which was wonderful. Apparently I didn't take a single picture???

Declan was sooooo excited to get Hungry Hippo. I love these cuties!
