.emory lane. {new home}

We finally closed on our new home January 18, 2013. It was quite the adventure to say the least. Short sales are a pain and require a ton of patience and prayer. I still can't believe that it is real. We are the proud homeowners of our very first condo. Here are some celebration pictures. More pictures of the place to follow in another post. Thanks to all that prayed for us thought this ordeal. You guys are awesome.

.happy new year 2013.

This year we celebrated at my besties current home in the farm town of Zamora. It was such a fun and relaxing time.

Our family resolution for the year is to be kind. Sounds simple enough but it is something we struggle with depending on the situation. So this year we hope to be nice to others even when it's difficult and to choose love all the time. Here's to a fabulous 2013!

.merry christmas 2012.

.mandi graduates.

My fabulous sis in law graduated from Loma Linda university with her masters in occupational therapy!! Go mandi! It was so fun to not only visit with the entire family but be with her on her special day. We are so proud of you sis!

.memorial day wknd 2012.

What a wonderful weekend that just wasn't long enough. We throughly enjoyed ourselves by bbqing two times, going on a hike with the bells and pretty much just enjoying the beautiful California weather. Lets not forget all those who serve our country and fight for our freedom. Thanks also to those families that support our troops and those who gave there lives for our freedom. May we never forget. Hope your weekend was a good one!

.bob's new job.

Bobby is the new Lead Worship Director at our amazing church New Song in San Dimas. While this is only a part time job it's still very exciting and something that bob has wanted to do for many years. It's been a fun adventure so far and we cant wait to see what the future has in store for the both of us. Come visit us, bob's pretty much a rockstar (I might be biased) but he's amazing. So proud of you hubby!!

.instagram.

The hubs and I finally joined the rest of society and now have iPhones!!! Life as we know it will never be the same. And with that comes instagram which is my current new obsession. (and android users I know you all now have it too, but our andriods were so "special" that we still couldn't get it) anywhoo, enjoy some shots and look forward to many more posts to come.
