Hi all! This is my first foray into 'blogging' so we'll see how it goes. First, a little update about our family...
I'm Angela, of course, and my husband, Jehnsen, and I married November 17th of last year. He was deployed to Iraq from May of 07 to this past May and we love having him home! Aside from our wonderful honeymoon to Kauai, we've pretty much been hanging out at home and enjoying the summer and early fall here in Washington.
Kayla's eleven and is a 6th grader at the new Pioneer Middle School in Dupont, Washington. She's still taking piano from the very patient Mari Feller and is really involved in Heimana, her polynesian dance troupe. They performed several times over the summer, including her role as the Hawaiian princess on the Heimana 4th of July parade float in Steilacoom. She loves it and we have a blast whenever we hang out with all the other dancers and families!
Olivia is five and a brand new kindergartner at Cherrydale Primary School in Steilacoom, Washington. She's excited to start dancing with her big sister, but this means she'll have to take time away from her many artistic pursuits (drawing on our furniture, gluing things all over the house, etc...) and her beloved babydolls. She's learned so much just in the first few months of school... it's pretty amazing.
As for me, I'm still at Gene Juarez coloring away (10 years!!) and Jehnsen is in his eighth year in the military. He's been in air defense artillery for the last several years, but plans to go to school for respitory therapy next year. This may mean a move in the near future...
Once I get the hang of this, I plan to add pictures and update from time to time. It my take a while, since I'm completely computer illiterate, but I'll try!
