Where do I begin when I have taken such a long blogging break, I am sure I am going to have to up my game if I want any readers to come back, but who am I kidding, this has never been about my readers, but about keeping a record for myself and keeping my friends and family updated, hopefully I will be able to continue those goals and not put anybody to sleep.
So lets say, anything below this post is a review of the last two months, anything above will be current, I may even try and post more often, we will see what happens…….
I guess that would be the natural question to ask someone who you have not heard from for a while.Well I guess I have just been trying to get my life back, and
vunpacking the 250 boxes that we brought with us
vgetting the kids acclimated (easier said than done with three emotional girls, but they are getting there).
vTrying to find a place for all of the things that are in the 250 boxes.
vPlanning a great garage sale for everything that does not fit in the place it was suppose to fit or for everything that Flemming has “grown weary” of, (I hope he does not put me in the Garage Sale)
vWaking up everyday to see if school has been canceled due to the ¼ inch of snow that has falling.
vThinking about all the fabulous post that I will post if I was going to ever use my Blog again.
Our friends taught us a new game. But beware you can only get it on Amazon.com.
It is called Qwirkle. I love it, it can be enjoyed on many levels. It is a bit of a cross between Dominoes, Scrabble, and Set.
So if you are looking for a new family game, you should try it. We love to play family games, so please comment about what games your family likes to play :)
What a fun little software application. I know it was invented to keep college students in touch, but boy I have been enjoying it. If you want to be my friend, just ask. Flemming and Maddie have accounts too.
Some people call me a bit obsessed with it.I just like to say that I am a well informed friend.But I do keep tabs as to who is on-line and when but really not that obsessed. J
That was the comment the movers made, as they spent one full day putting everything into this truck.
That’s a big truck.
I wish I could find the picture of the first moving truck we ever used. One year after we were married, D.C. to Minnesota, lets just say it was small enough that we drove it ourselves and pulled a car behind it.
I guess we have accumulated a few things. (including 3 kids, they are not in the truck, they came with us)
It is never easy to do, and this was no exception.Although for three years I told myself that we will be moving, I thought it would be easier, because I knew it was coming, but no….still heart ache. But only because we had good friends and great memories. Our favorite saying all fall was, “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard”And that is exactly how we felt.
A few days after Christmas we were able to get together with a couple of friends for one last night out. They presented us with an original composition written by the Taylor Family. I have posted the words here, hopefully you are familiar with the Christmas Carol. “Must Be Santa” (if not you can find it on You tube or click here)

What a great Holiday. I have to admit that I was a big boohooer when Flemming said that we would not be decorating at all for Christmas due to selling our house. I thought this was going to be the biggest wasted Christmas ever. I was wrong, we had a grand time.
We stayed at Jan and Laci’s beautiful 1 year old home, plenty of room in their guest suite, we had fun watching movies and playing with our gifts and just enjoying our last few days together.
Other events kept us busy during December. There was the Catanan –A-Thon with 3 tables filled with friends. They all came with the intentions of letting us win since we were moving and all, but they couldn’t pull it off and the Aases did not walk away victorious that evening. It just will give us more encouragement to come back for a visit.
There was also the annual Cinnamon Rolls Breakfast on Christmas Eve morning, the venue changed but the menu was the same and it is something that we really look forward to. We may even start that tradition in our new home.
There was the BYU Football game. Loved the company, did not like the end results of the game.
And lots of other fun December events. It is such a busy time of year, but we keep it busy doing activities that we love and look forward to each year. Watch out next year though because we are really going to “Deck The Halls” because of our lack of decorations this year.
A few days before Christmas, one of the Neighbors got a big surprise. His parents bought our trampoline…..We sold it because the moving company would not move it……So the problem became, how to get the trampoline to its new location.
Here come the LDS movers. How else can you round up 15 people on a Saturday morning. So off they go carrying the Trampoline up the street.
Half way up the street they decided to dump a little of the extra weight and shoveled off the snow.
All was going well until we realized we had to get the trampoline, OVER the fence. But nothing stops the LDS movers. Up and Over Boys
Thanks everyone for all your help. I am sure the neighbor boy is going to Love It.
