Wow!!
I have got to be the most slowest person to get this blog thing going. It's been well over a year since I last blogged...that's bad.
So, what's new in the Thompson household, you say?! Well......absolutely nothing!!!
Since a year has past I'll give a short recap:
- I finally learned how to actually stand up on a snowboard, and yes, get down the hill in one piece as well as perform a 180...with my feet still planted on the ground ;)
- We spend an extended weekend in Santa Barbara to celebrate Nate's youngest brothers wedding, that was a blast and a half!
- We went camping in Hume Lake again, this time along with my parents my sisters and their boyfriends came and we had a great time. Kelly and her BF were able to stay a bit longer than the rest and we got to really spend quality time which was awesome!
- We remodeled our kitchen...finally!! We got inspired to do so after seeing my parents go through the remodel process (which my mother had been waiting to do for well over 20 years!) and I must say our kitchen looks way better than it's old former 80's self.
- I took a Plienair watercolor class over the summer with my mom, and am continuing to take a watercolor class through the fall/winter. Watercolor has never been my forte with art, but I'm learning alot and have definitely seen an improvement in my watercolor.
- I started taking online classes through a University to become a Certified Forensic Nurse. Yes, I've decided I'd really like to learn more about the Dr. G, CSI and Bones aspect of nursing. So far I'm having a great time learning all there is to know about forensics and I can't wait to see what kind of stuff I can get into once I'm finished!
- We celebrated by grandmother's 80th birthday. All the family got together and took her out on a brunch bruise in the SF bay. It couldn't have been a more lovely day, the weather was perfect, the ocean was calm and the food was fantastic!
- And finally, Nate and I took a 7 day cruise to the Caribbean for our 3rd year anniversary. We made stops in Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and St. Marteen. We went all out this time and got a veranda suite room, and boy was it grand! We decided if you're going to go on a cruise the veranda is the way to go! We spend most of our time on the ship on that deck, it was so quiet and peaceful and didn't have a million people all around you hunting for the next available lounge chair :) Not to mention the weather was perfect the whole time we were there, a few days of rain, but not enough to let you down.
So, there's a small recap of our year. Hopefully in 2011 I'll be able to keep up with the blogging.....I hope!
Here's some photos of the past year, enjoy!
can't forget a picture of my "twin" :)
