Oh Dear......

So I realize that it's been quite sometime since I last updated what's been going on. Too much has been happening! January hit and we've been going almost nonstop.  Harley has been a superstar when he's been sound-he had a little muscle trouble but it's getting so much better. We went to Vienna for a long weekend and got to see my dad. Then my parents came for a great visit and we headed to Portugal for some more riding with the Valenca's-money well spent for sure!  Lots has been happening at ceramics and I've been making oodles of things, not just baby stuff too ;) Matt just finished his second to last semester of grad school-one more to go then he's all done! Yippee!! We also have been to Italy 2 times since the new year. Our super hilarious friends Jodi and Tim asked us to go with them to Lake Como for a few days in March and then we just got home (yesterday!!) from a 10 day whirl-wind trip for our 5 year anniversary.  Oh yea, that has happened too! I can not believe it's been 5 years already. Well, sometimes I can. Our life has been so amazing, blessed, and rich in such a short amount of time; it's overwhelming to think that we have so many more years ahead of us of, hopefully, such blessings and happiness. When I actually stop to think about it all, I am more in awe of how much the Lord has given me, especially when it comes to Matt and our life together.

 I'm not going to put too many pictures up right now; I am actually going to blog about all the spots we've been too. It's just at this point I have about 4,000 pictures (no joke, we just took about 1,500 on this last trip) to go through and weed out the stinky ones, then do editing on the real keepers. Oh dear, my eyes may fall out soon! Here are just a few tasters of what's to come!

 
Taking in the sights in Venice on our anniversary trip!


No trip to Portugal is complete without wearing traditional garb! I love my beast of a big black horse!

 
Our good friend Charleen recently got married!

 
My parents are just hilarious!

 
And even when it's cold in Vienna we were still smiling!

 
 
Stay tuned for more posts to come, I'm determined to get my act together!!
