Big Mac

So I haven't been around in quite awhile.  I've been busy enjoying time away from blogging. I love reading other blogs, but lets face it.  If you want lots followers - which is nice, but not necessary - you have to post every. day. I just don't want to spend that kind of time on my blog. But since I'm here I'd like to take this personal space of mine and take it in a new direction. Not sure where yet. I'll let you know.

I really need to blog about my trip to Haiti, post pictures, and decompress a little. Decompress: a tool I wasn't given at the end of my trip.  I felt like I was left hanging and emotional and unable to figure out where all of my feelings were coming from. But that's another post.

I digress.

Right now I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Mac.

She entered our life yesterday.  After 2 computer crashes in a year, we decided to say goodbye to PCs.  You see, we've been slowly converting over to apples.  First my iPhone, then Drew's iPhone, and after our first crash we bought an iPad because Drew had business to do on the computer - so that was the next best thing until we figured out what happened with our PC.  Now we have a new Macintosh!  Such a yummy apple, and a yummy computer too!  I have to say I'm in love!  This thing is so easy to use and although not the same as our phones or iPad it has many similar features with some nice additions.

If I had a glass of something I'd say let's toast and knock on wood to a much better experience with this computer! Cheers!

March: Teague turned 3 and was potty trained in two weeks! My brother Alex was in the show "Shirt Powers" - one of my favorites so far! Started spending time outside since the weather was getting warm.

 

He's singing not pushing. Though it doesn't look that way!

 

April: Visited Doug and Sarah with Matt, Jennie and Micah in Rockford, MI.

 

May: Went to Dave Ramsey Live and I met Jon Acuff.  I ran my first 10k. Spent the night in Chicago to help take care of my friend Judson who had a hip replacement. Caleb and Courtney got married! I turned 30!

 

 

 

 June: Started swimming at the beach! Took another trip to Chicago with Matt, Jennie, Drew and Dad to see the Chicago Cubs play the Detroit Tigers.  Ate at Girodanos! Stayed a long weekend up at big twin with Dave and Ashley and went to Traverse City one day.

 

 

July: More beach time!

 

August: Canned A LOT of tomatoes {I did 3 or 4 batches}! Finley turned 2!

 

 

September: The calming before the storm.

 

October: Gorgeous fall colors right across the street. Still spending time outside since it was really comfortable. Drew ran his 2nd Chicago Marathon.  He also took a trip to Minneapolis for 5 days. We went to Puerto Vallerta, Mexico!!! Carved pumpkins, dressed up and went Trick-or-Treating!

 

 

 

November: Alex was Sebastian in the Little Mermaid and Noah played several smaller parts including a Sailor.  One of my favorite roles Alex has played - his Sebastian voice was incredible!  I made Thanksgiving dinner. Drew turned 28!

 

Celebrated Christmas!

 

Happy New Year to you all!

The Aftermath!
