Omaha trip

A few photos from our time in Omaha...

The family watching Nelson's soccer game.

Nelson scoring a goal!

Murphy saving the goal.


Murhpy, Nelson and Grandpa.
Murphy looking simply beautiful in her First Holy Communion gown and Nelson looking very sharp in his outfit!


Here we are after Murphy's Communion.

The blog slacker that I am....

I know I'm slacking on my blog updates so here is what's been going on.

The LOML and I just got back from Omaha visiting his family. It was his niece's First Holy Communion so we all gathered in Omaha to celebrate. I'll post some pictures this weekend.

At work I was promoted to a SR. Analyst - yeah for me! Then a few days later we were notified that my department was splitting up reporting to different areas. I will now be reporting to a wonderful VP which I couldn't be happier about!

I am sad to report that my Tia Alice (my grandma's sister) passed away on Wednesday. We will all miss her but know that she is in a much better place.

I like to read blogs from some of my favorite authors. There is one author that I enjoy reading because it is focused on the Mormon religion and for some reason I find it fascinating to read about their beliefs (Mom, no worries I'm not thinking of joining just find it interesting). Here's a link to Natalie R. Collins site. I found it interesting that the Mormon's have their own search engine which you can read more about it here.

BTW, I have read her first book and it was so good that I couldn't put it down and stayed up way too late one night trying to finish it. I will be picking up her second book and am sure the same thing will happen.

TGIF!!!

12 of 12 2.0: April

Here is my 12 of 12 for April. An original concept by Chad Darnell . Yes, I finally managed to do my first one for 2007. So, much for being consistant starting in January. Oh well, enjoy.

This is my beautiful handcrafted wooden cross purchased from an adorable shop in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in December 2005. I took this because my cousin wanted a pic so she could purchase one like it. She keeps telling one day this will be gone from my mantle- I don't think so!

This is me all ready to head for the office.

This is the console of my Sorento. Just put a mixed cd in to help ease the battle of the 101 traffic.

The 101 traffic. I swear I was just at a standstill before I took this pic!

My new office. We just moved to a new building in Scottsdale and this is the new digs that I park my butt in for 40+ hours a week.

My friend Rebecca S. and I took a walk from the office to Subway for lunch. Here I am popping behind a blooming cactus.

Rebecca's hand pointing to an ant carrying something way bigger than itself. Strong little sucker!

Watching the "funny moments" episode of Ugly Betty. Sure was disappointed it wasn't a new episode.

The LOML preparing dinner.

Dinner - Take out chinese from one of our favorite places Dragon Palace. So, the LOML didn't have to prepare too hard but hey he did have to drive to pick it up!

Here I am playing Sweet Tooth on Pogo.

10 p.m. news - very big news tonight! We got 100ths of an inch of rain tonight! Here's a photo of the "Storm Team" from our local ABC network reporting on the "heavy" rain. Yep folks that little bit of rain is BIG news in Arizona.

This is my bonus pic. My word was Hurt. I broke the middle finger nail tonight. No, I wasn't flipping anyone off when it broke. Not even quite sure how I broke it but it did hurt just a little.

Funny lady check it out....

Happy Easter to my family and friends!
