A quick update on our lives:

-We have moved to Phoenix and we are loving it! 67 degrees feels real nice.

-We bought a home here and it's been fun to get settled.

-Ryan is starting his web business, localwork.com and is very busy with that.

-I am at 18 weeks and feeling a little larger as the days go by.

-I am working on getting an after school tutoring thing going.

-We had a great Thanksgiving! My fam came down and we had a big family shindig at Market Bistro (Jim & Paige's restaurant).

We are SO EXCITED! (and a little nervous).

Florence and Rome

Here are the final pictures from our trip. Florence and Rome were absolutely beautiful! These were our last two stops before coming home, and we were a little tired from all of the traveling. So we really enjoyed just walking the streets and watching the people of Florence and Rome.

MMMMMM Gelato!!!

We had such a great time on our trip! It was awesome to be able to go to so many different cities, but by the time we went home, we were ready.

Our next adventure: We are moving to Phoenix in 3 days! We are so excited!

Germany, Switzerland, Italy

We've been running around like crazy chickens! It's been so fun to go to so many different places!
Here's where we've been since I last posted:
Munich, Germany-Here we went to Dachau concentration camp
Murren, Switzerland-Hiked in the alps, chased cows with bells, and snuggled up in a cozy chalet
Milan, Italy-Met up with David and Bianca, saw the sites in the city
Lake Como, Italy-Took a boat ride and enjoyed the scenery
Venice, Italy-Walked the tiny streets of Venice and went to St. Mark's Square
Cinque Terre, Italy-Hiked from town to town and enjoyed the history and scenery of the Mediterranean coast
We are now in Florence for a few days and will finish up in Rome. Only 1 week left!

Dachau concentration camp

On one of our many train rides. By the way- Ryan Electrocuted my flat iron to death in Paris. It's been some scary hair days. OH WELL!

We have so many pictures, I wish I could post them all!

London and Paris

We are in Paris, about to leave for Munich. London was great. We were only there for 2 days. Everyone seemed so cheery with their accents. I loved it.

Paris is SO BEAUTIFUL! I can't get over it. The architecture alone is so romantic. We have been here for 5 days, so we've seen a lot.

Here are some pics...

Our last night in London, we saw Les Miserables. Our first time seeing it- it was fab.

Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, Ciao!

Tomorrow we are off to Europe. We hope to see some of these things...

I'm hoping I will be able to put some pictures up during the trip. See ya later!

For Your Enjoyment...

Right now we are making our way back to the west from Washington D.C. Boy, it's a long drive!
Anyway, a friend of Ryan's forwarded this to him, and I can't stop laughing about it. Click on this link and listen!!! Here's the story:

The story is this: a girl was out with friends having drinks on King St (in Toronto ). This guy approaches her and won't leave her alone -saying how cute she is. She finally gives in and hands the guy her business card to get rid of him. The attached is an MP3 file of not one, but TWO voicemails this guy left. This goes down in the history books - especially the second voice mail. After hearing them you can clearly see why she didn't call him back - instead she called in to the Z103.5 morning show & had them play this on the air. Ladies: He is out there... :)
