California Dreamin

My new Dad #2 (father in law) sent us these pictures of our time in California over Christmas and New Years.  We were all over the state of CA for the week we were there, starting up near San Jose and ending up in Anaheim at Disneyland!  It was a fantastic trip, and I love my new family.  Here are a few photos:

1. Best family photo ever.  Kristin (in front) was trying to run in time after setting the self timer, and no one was really ready.  We took about 12 other shots and ended up deciding nothing could beat this one anyway.

2. Rusty's dad has a tendancy to set you up for a great picture, but doesn't always count to three or TELL you when he's going to push the button.  I have mastered the art of smiling continuously in ready position for this reason.  Rusty, in a 28 year period, somehow has not.












3. Rusty and his dad on Main Street at Disneyland on New Year's Eve.  It was crazy packed and lots of fun!  We had a great trip!

Love.

"Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins." -1 Peter 4:8
"Whoever covers an offense seeks love." -Proverbs 17:9

It's December already?

Woah.  It's our 6 month anniversary today (which I wouldn't know save for the ticker on the bottom of this blog).  How did THAT happen?  Quickest six months of my life!  

We have a friend back in Flagstaff, named Christy, who doesn't keep track of the YEARS she has been married, but knows the exact number of months.  She celebrated her 300 month anniversary a few years back, so they must be nearing 325 now. 

My parents have been married 436 months.

Rusty's parents have been married 411 months. (picture of them to left)

I have a 90 year old patient who celebrated his 864 month anniversary.

That basically puts a lot of perspective and humility toward my SIX, doesn't it?!! 

Well, I love being Rusty's wife, and this is the most challenging and exciting thing I have ever done.  So, here's to many MANY more months together!
