CATCHING UP!!!

It's been quite some time since I did anything with this blog. As usual, life sneaks up on me and throws a curve ball or two my way & every intention I had of being consistent with this thing goes right out the window.

I'm not going to do what I've done in the past & make any promises that this year will be any different. I'm not going to make a New Year's Resolution to write in this blog consistently, because it's not going to happen, but for those of you who might possibly still be looking at this from time to time, I will say this much...I'll at least try!

So let's start with this...a few brief highlights from 2013 to catch you up on what's going on in my life over the past year:

January  - Cristina & I celebrated our (1) year anniversary together in Orlando.

February - I stepped down from the Director of Community Engagement position @ Discover Church due to time constraints & workload @ Brewzzi Restaurant.

March - Cristina & I renewed our lease @ the Palm Lake Villas for (1) more year.

April - Makenna had surgery to remove (4) large cancerous mast cell tumors. Poor pup was miserable for awhile!!!

May - Cristina's parents visited from Colombia & we got to spend lot of time with them! Good for the heart! Cristina stopped working @ Tru Bamboo due to the company closing it's doors.

June - Cristina & I attended Thadd & Jaime's wedding in Tennessee & took our first official road trip to New Orleans on the way home! It was amazing!!!

July - Cristina's 31st birthday! We also went through Financial Peace University again & are currently stuck on Baby Step #1 once more thanks to some unexpected emergencies!

August - Thanks to Rachel Smith...Cristina, Makenna, & I were able to do our first official family photo shoot! You can find the pictures on our Facebook pages.

September - What always happens in September...Fantasy Football of course!!! Sorry baby...it's my one vice. Thanks for being a trooper & trying your best to learn the game for our sake!

October - The emergence of Pumpkin Spice Coffee & Shipyard Pumpkin Head are two of our personal favorites this time of year & yes, they are worth mentioning in this blog!!!

November - Cristina & I spent a week in Vermont visiting with both sides of the family. It was great!

December - Cristina got to visit her family in Colombia for two weeks!

I'm sure I forgot a bunch, but that's ok...hope you enjoyed!
