It’s finally happened!  Many of our friends and family know that Ryan has been involved in a LOOOONG application process with the U.S. Secret Service.  Well, we finally got “the Call” that Ryan has been accepted!!! Wahoo!!!!!!!!  He will leave for training the end of January, and our family will be relocating to Denver in August.  We are excited and nervous and relieved and grateful, and so many other things.  Of course, this means huge changes for our family–some that are only beginning to be apparent.  But we are confident that this is a good direction for our family, and we feel blessed that we can have this opportunity!

CONGRATULATIONS RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have mentioned to people before about how it’s hard to update your blog when you don’t have pictures to go with your entries.  For me, it’s because my writing does not convey the message accurately enough–I need a picture so people will say, “Oh, that’s what she was talking about!”  Since my camera has blown-up, I have basically been rendered blog-mute.  But here’s what has happened the last little while:

Nov. 20th: Twlight Party! I had a little get together at my house before movie time at 11:59.  We played a couple of  trivia games, and made jewelry/charms with crystal hearts (cheater, I know–it’s in the second book), and ate some food, including “bitten” cupcakes.  I was pleasantly surprised by the movie, and I’ll tell ya, Robert Pattinson made an Edward fan out of me 🙂

Wednesday, Nov. 26th: went to work for the night, got called at 11:00pm by Ryan, saying Logan had cut his head open and knocked out a tooth (we’re still looking for it, too.)  Went home for the night, thanks to a couple of angel nurses who are superwomen (Karen and Lisa–thank you!)

Thursday, Nov. 27th: THANKSGIVING!!! Got to eat until I achieved fat-happiness, then back to work!

My little family has been battling the cold that keeps circulating among the four of us, but we were able to have some fun for the weekend as well, including a day adventure on TRAX and Frontrunner, just for the sake of “riding the train” Oh, the simple joys of little munchkins!
