Our New Niece!!



















































We went last weekend to meet our beautiful niece. We think she's adorable and think you'll agree. Ricky's brother, Jonathon, got sworn in as a police officer, how cool is that? We could have spent more time visiting, but we both had to be at work on Monday, bummer. We both got baby fever for one of our own. We'll be trying this summer for a baby, so there may be a little one to welcome next spring/summer!

San Diego Zoo


























We went to the famous San Diego Zoo and saw all kinds of animals. Amber (Wayne and Marci's daughter) gave us the grand tour. Neither of us had been to a zoo in a long time, it was great being a kid again. The next morning we went to an awesome breakfast with David and April Heath. It's great to catch up on old college friends.

Long Awaited Post...


















































































We're still alive! We've been traveling and enjoying being together since Ricky's return from Kuwait in October. Here is what we've been up to.

We went to San Diego in January. It was a great trip before Ricky started looking for a job. He worked at KNWA as the graphics operator on the morning crew while looking for another job. We stayed with Ricky's sister's in-laws, Wayne and Marci Rice. Great hospitality. We went on an hour cruise on the Hornblower of the San Diego bay. We also toured the USS Midway battleship. It was cool see and touch what the sailors first to be on the ship experienced. One day we took a drive up the coast and stopped at La Jolla Beach to take a walk on the beach. We saw a beautiful sunset and fought the cold and wind.
On April 9th, Ricky drove to Arvest Bank on Weddington and walked into his new job as a customer service representative. He's been in training and hasn't been cut loose yet. He thinks that he'll enjoy it and has learned a lot so far about investing and money. We're looking forward to seeing our savings account grow with two full time incomes.
