So I know that I have been a total blog slacker but I had a good reason. We were in Utah for the holidays and it was a bit crazy but FUN! Being home for Christmas was very exhausting. We had to be sure to spend time with everyone and not leave any member of the family out. We managed to do it, but I think we need a vacation from our vacation. It was very nice to see almost everyone while we were home. We didn't get to get together with all of our friends and that was disappointing but we did get to spend plenty of time with the families. For Christmas Eve we got together for some Mexican food with the Summerhays' and my family. This consisted of Emily & Zaur, Jake & Stephanie, Dan & Connie, my mom, Carrie & her family, and Lisa & her family. It was quite the adventure having 20+ people get together for dinner, but it was really nice to be able to see everyone before Christmas. After Christmas, I thought things would calm down a bit but then we had to visit everyone after Christmas to exchange gifts and see what everyone was so lucky to receive all before the 29th. We did enjoy seeing everyone and thanks to all of you that made arrangements for coming to see us to cut down on our travel.
As for New Year's, Ben and I were still recuperating from our trip home so we just hung out and acted like an old married couple. We watched some Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development on New Year's Eve and stayed in our pj's all day on New Year's Day. It was so nice to be able to just relax and catch up on some much needed sleep. Happy New Year's to everyone!!
As for pictures... they will be coming. I have a funny one of my nephew in a Dora The Explorer outfit and another cute one of Ben with my little niece. :)

It was so fun to see you guys!! You two were quite the troopers....I know it was so hard going around to see everyone. My kids had fun hanging out with you and "Big Ben" though....if it means anything!! :o) Matthew was so bummed out that we didn't have time to go play basketball....but we'll do that another time!! I can't wait to see the pictures.... Happy New Year to you guys!! It's fun to just "hang out" and do NOTHING, huh?? I can't wait for you guys to come out again.... May, right??!! :o) Love you!!
Hey Nat! Of course I remember you! It took me a minute to find out who you were from the comment, but it's good to hear from you. You and your hubby sure look cute! Keep in touch.
I am glad you had such a good Christmas, can't wait for pics of you guys and your cute families. I guess I don't feel so bad I wasn't there since it sounds like I may not have seen you anyway. Well back to real life now huh!! It always sucks to come back after a nice break. I know how you feel though I felt like I needed a vacation from my vacation! So I think while the Hills is off season you need to get into American Idol with me in 2 weeks so we can blog all about it!! Love ya
Hey Natalie! thanks for writing me. Yeah this blogging thing is pretty fun. It is a nice way to keep in touch. Talk to ya later.
Happy New Year, woo hoo! So I'm thinkin' you need more pictures of you and Ben up! I've got to see ya it's been too long!
I can't wait to see pictures from your trip! It was so fun to see you guys and wish we could hang out all the time!
Natalie--that's so funny, I Can't believe you have Winnemucca connections. Whenever I tell people Gary is from there, they say --oh ya, I've driven through there once! I asked him if he recognized the name and he said no, but you know how guys are--I'll have to aks his sisters. glad you had a good Christmas!
Natalie,
I remember awhile back reading a post you left on our (Holly's really, I don't do much with it) and I meant to always reply and never did. Sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm just a slacker. How can I forget someone that shares a birthday with me. We'll always haave that. Anyway, as I can read with your blog, seems like things are going well for you guys. It's great to read up on your lives and see what's going on. Feel free to post more to our blog.

What? Australia for sure!! We have a friend that lives there and has offered we could come stay and bring friends. Why we haven't taken him up on this I don't know why not, half the cost when you travel is your lodging and it would be free! But...we are poor so if not, we still definitely need to get together somewhere. Columbus has a lot of fun stuff but I would love to go somewhere else. Only 5 more days until American Idol! :) Love you tons let's talk soon!!
I am glad you guys had a good Christmas vacation. I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year, than by cozying up to watch Arrested Development.
Hi Natalie, I have gotten your comments and I am sorry to just be getting back with you. So good to hear from you and I love seeing all that you are up to lately. Looks like we both are in unfamiliar places following our hubbies around for school, but I truly enjoy it! I hope all is well and lets stay in touch.
