Long time, no post

So it's been forever since I've posted anything. Guess I lead a pretty boring life. It's either that or life has been too crazy for me to even breathe. So, new for our family:

Rich finally has a job in California and started work in San Diego yesterday! He's commuting, but we're happy as long as he's in the same state as Addie and I.

We moved into a new place in Ladera Ranch (south Orange County). Although some parts of Ladera can be pretty upper class we love our new place and I'm hoping I don't have to go anywhere for a while. I can't take anymore boxes or packing paper.

Miss Ad started Kindergarten. I can't believe my baby is all grown up! Rich was amazed to watch her write her name. He's been gone almost one year with only a few short visits and this was his first opportunity to help her with her homework. I think she's glad to have the nice parent back in her life. ;) jk.

We're adding a new little one to our family and before you go and get all excited that I'm having a baby stop right there. Some cat had a baby and we're adopting the cat's baby. He's such a little cutie patootie. He's this tiny little gray ball of fluff and fur and his name is Flannel PJ's. We're just waiting for him to recover from some surgery and then he'll be on a plane on his way to us. I told Rich this was my early Christmas present. I think he has this idea in his head that I make every day Christmas for myself....which is partially correct...tee hee.

I finally stepped into 2008 and got a facebook account. I'm such an old married mom. I'm so out of the loop on what is cool and happening. It's been fun posting old pictures, ones I haven't looked at in ages. Can someone tell me what I was thinking in some of those outfits and haircuts? Why didn't someone smack me on the head and knock some fashion sense into me. I'm embarassed.

We have a new addition to our extended family. I have a new niece in law...is that even a word? Anywho, my oldest nephew was recently married and I can't wait to meet his wife. If you know me you know that I LOVE spending time with my family and adding one more just means one more person at the table to play Scrabble or Boggle or Taboo with at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm sure she'll think we're all a bunch of weirdos.

We've had two sets of visitors at our new place. My parents were here last weekend for Ad's birthday party and my older brother Wyatt, his wife Lori and their three daughters (Kelli, Kodi and Gray) have been staying with us the last two days. It's been great seeing them and catching up on funny stories. I'm so happy that we live close enough to make weekend visits now and don't have to worry about airports and plane tickets. Phew. I'm not leavingt his state. You'd have to knock me out and take me away while I'm unconcious.

So that's about it for our family. Boring huh? Don't you just feel like you wasted ten minutes reading a bunch of nothing? Yep, thought so. :)
