Here is what we have been up to since leaving Philly in July:
Besides Ted working, me getting healthy, both of us working out A TON, loosing weight, getting strong, being warm, rekindling old AZ friendships (or strengthening - right Abneys :) missing Philly friends, spending time and vacations with family and having fun here are some of our where abouts for the last few months.
The first stop in Arizona on our drive from Philly to the west? Of course Greer, AZ where Ted's grandparents live for the summer. Grandpa took us fishing and I caught one!
Attended the first of many celebrations (here a shower) for Amanda Ted's littlest sisters marriage.
Such a great couple!
Attending our great friends temple marriage (sealing for eternity) in the New York LDS Temple.
Went to the actual wedding of Ted's baby sister.
Ted and the Beautiful Bride
Attending a Halloween party at the new couples house (they are Snow White and Prince Charming, Ted and I are them - his sister and new hubby, Ted's parents are Tooth Fairies - yes his dad wore a tutu, Ted's other sister and hubby Ketchup and Mustard, and his grandparents said they dressed like old people!)
The tooth fairy watching football :)
Took tons and tons of pictures for people
(Call me I am free I just love it!)
This one is of Ted's family business JAT Investment Advisors
(Ted, Julie, Amanda, Jack and Valrie Cross)
(well Cross was the last name up until the girls got married)
Went to Utah for Thanksgiving
And I think I might have bugged my little sister a little too much, ha ha!
(here I am waking her up in her U of U tennis sweat suit, hey that means I lover her a lot! I am wearing U of U gear!)
The girlies baking - missing the fourth, our sister Bee
Deedee showing Ted Thanksgiving Utah style by hitting tennis balls and shooting the bb gun at a hornets nest in the gully behind my childhood house
Yea Ted and Deeds! Get it!
Snuggled with Deedee cute pup Ellie Woods Nelson
Lola turned 3 December 3rd, my baby is growing up!
Ted's sister Amanda graduated, what a year she had! Go girl!
Did some cool hair for a wedding!
Got called into the Spanish Branch in our Church
Young Women and Young Men's
(You are right I don't speak, but I am a fast learner!)
(These youth are amazing! Here we are partying it up at the New Years Eve Dance!)
Had a great Christmas! Got crafty and thoughtful this year and saved lots of money!
These two are aprons and towels I made for Ted's Mom and Sister, I am getting more crafty!
We are going to be an Aunt and Uncle end of February.
Ted and I don't have any nieces or nephews so this will be the first!
Started doing my hair a little different - trying to embrace the natural curl and not fight it! (too much like Shirley Temple? Be honest!)
Well that is all here!
We hope all of you have a happy and healthy 2010!
