New Year

It's a new year. and you know it's funny because this year we really did have to start over. We finally got new jobs! (Hallelujah) Derek works from home doing web design and his boss' name is Chuck, for some reason I think it is a fun name. I work at Overland Construction where I estimate. We both like our new jobs. But we'll see in 8 months what happens.....
We've also been spending much time, when I say that I mean Derek has been looking at houses non stop since we got here. It's nice to be able to look at lots of different houses instead of like 2.
We've been tiling my mom's bathrooms. We did this design today that was tricky (for us), but it turned okay, hopefully.
Kona was lost yesterday, because Derek couldn't find her outside anywhere, and left for work. So about 10:00 some girls called me saying they had my dog. It's a good thing we just barely made her a tag.....
Hope all you are doing well!

Fort Building at Gram Oka's

"The Beginning"
We've always built a fort at Gram Oka's on Christmas Day. The neighbors always plowed their snow on the corner of gram's lot since my mom was little. The forts have been made for two generations.
"Finished"
Hannah, Hali, Tracey and Harmony created this masterpiece, with connecting tunnels from Hali to Hannah. Harmony and Kona went through the tunnel first.

So I've been home a lot lately. I've painted almost my entire house and packed it up. I've also been baking bread, pumpkin rolls (they taste good and thats all that counts right?) and a cake. Today was my second day ever baking bread by myself....It actually turned out good! I'm going to miss Old Iron town, we had some beautiful sunsets. And it was nice to actually see the stars...all of them.
