Life Update

Life has been pretty quiet around here.  Its amazing how moving to a new city and getting married within 6 months makes you want to do NOTHING.  The spring is picking up though.  And we fully intend for the summer to be wild.  But here is snapshot of the past month or so:

• I met my niece Sylvia!  The little nugget is so dang cute!  I also got to see Emily, who isn't exactly a nugget but may have the cutest chunky legs ever!  Both got Frye boots from Aunt Jill, pretty ridiculous but I take being an aunt serious, including buying my nieces obnoxious brands so they can be cool before they even realize how cool they are.  The trip to Minneapolis was great and I can't wait to get back there soon.

• Duke got a haircut.  Don't be fooled, just because he cleaned up his appearance doesn't mean he isn't the same hot mess.  He will be 10 months old this weekend.  I feel like we hit some adult milestones in the last few weeks.  My favorite being that he and I can run and hike without him being on a leash, its so not cool to have your dog on a leash in Colorado...and now we are in the club.

• Move Update:  We have to be in Belgium by August 13th.  Yeah, about 5 months from now.  We started the paperwork last week.  We are learning that SHAPE is a small base with international/NATO soldiers that Rob will work on.  He will also get to work on families too which is different than bases in the states.  Wonder what he will think of my teeth?  Every single person we have talked to said that Europe was the best assignment they had and have been giving great advice on traveling and the way of life over there.  Oh and when I say we have started the paperwork, I mean Duke's paperwork- it is proving to be as extensive as ours, and more expensive.  He is going to have so many stamps on his passport (yes, he will have a passport).  We have also begun to plan our Tour de Missouri in late July/early August. Details to follow.  

Happy St. Patty's Day- for sure a holiday that makes me miss Kansas City!
