Every So Often...

So I realize that I am awful at updating my blog. I love reading everyone else's blog, yet do not ever update my own. It may be because my life is really not that interesting. And by may, I mean that is the reason why. But since it has been a couple of months, here is what has been happening in Illinois...

*Nathan completed his first semester of Graduate School. He came out with 2 A's and a B...needless to say he did awesome!!!

*We had our first Christmas as a married couple here in Illinois...

(We ended up adding a litte village on top of the televsion where the picture frames are, but I don't have a picture of that at the moment)

*We went up to St. Louis and visited my cousin Leslie (who is currently in Africa) and ended up going skiing and snowboarding. Leslie and I skiied, while Nathan snowboarded.

This is me and my cousin Leslie


Nathan and I taking a break in the lodge

*I was very lucky to be able to spend some time with my awesome niece Ellie. I know I am a little biased, but isn't she beautiful?? Being an aunt is awesome and I always look forward to seeing Andy, Natalie, and Ellie. Just in case you haven't seen her, here are some pictures...:)






There are now words to describe how much I love this little girl and how blessed I feel to be her aunt!!!
