It's time

It's time for me to start getting serious about blogging. I love keeping up to date with friends by visiting their blogs once in a while so I figure it's about time that I provide some updates on what we've been up to:

• Trying to sell or rent our house and move south in search for milder winters (really love Nebraska but winter takes a huge toll on our family's health so we'd really like a warmer climate.) Due to the freezing temperatures I've grown to hate winter when in fact when I was growing up, I used to love being out in the snow playing.
• Getting ready to vacation with parents for a few days in Chicago (love that city)
• Loving every moment of being a parent, watching Ella grow up ( she's turning FOUR in a few weeks, we just can't believe it!)
• Just staying busy with daily activities (work, Ella's swimming and gymnastics' lessons, etc., etc., etc.)
