A Long Time has passed....

So a year and half later and I have forgotten I had a blog. Not forgotten, just not had any time. I barely update Facebook with photos let alone write on a blog and post pictures. But I realize I have become a lot worse at keeping track of what's going on in my life... I take less pictures, don't write in a journal anymore, etc... so I feel like the last 2 years will be forgotten some time down the road. So at some point, for myself, I might actually start to keep up the blog again. I guess when I have a baby (not an announcement) I might be more motivated to post some pictures and update more often.

So my goal is to start again, and post pictures from the past year... although nothing too exciting has happened, I will want to remember my first couple years of marriage down the road!

Madrid!

To kick off our Europe trip we started in Madrid, meeting up with the whole family (whom came a couple days before.) We spent 2 days in Madrid before heading down to the coast. Madrid is a cool city... not my "favorite" european city or even spanish city (that would be Barcelona), but we had a good time, and I was happy to be back in Europe!

In the airport about to start our long journey to Spain. We had an awesome layover in San Jose, then Dallas, then we made it to Madrid!

The "kids" outside the temple

We went to visit the Palace, which was HUGE. Had a pretty nice view too...

The Boys

Nathan gets his mission call and goes to temple!

Nathan waited to open his Mission when we were all together in Madrid! He had it for several days unopened (He has great will power). Our family had a poll for where he was going to go, with a $100 prize from my dad to be awarded to the geographically closest guess... so this was a big moment for us all! :)

The verdict??? The Paraguay North Mission!!! He will be up in the rural area of Paraguay, learning Spanish and the native Indian language.

The winner of the Mission poll was a tie... Joseph picked Argentina and Nate picked Brazil!

Here is Nathan outside the Temple in Madrid where we all went through with him.
