Hello all-

We have arrived in april and life is good! We started out this month by taking a trip to see Jacy and Tim in Hawaii and that was so nice to have some time to relax and enjoy the time together (we haven't seen them in over a year). We also rented a condo while we were over there and stayed there while Jacy and Tim worked. It was a nice place right outside of Turtle bay resort on the Northern side of the island. On the weekends and a couple nights during the week we met up the them and played WII and snorkeled made some yummy veggie sushi and relaxed on the beach. We also biked down to the beach and Jacy and I went parasailing, fun fun. I just cant believe its over already time sure does fly when your having fun. I will post some pictures later on since I still havn't downloaded all the pics I have taken from the computer.
Since we have come back we got right back on track in the rat race.. work sleep eat. I have lined up some houses for us to look at in the near future so hopefully we can find a good price for a good deal. This weekend we plan on re-stocking the fridge and working on the bathroom and such. Anyhow will post some pics soon. love to all

March 4th..... well almost what do I have to show for it? hmm well last week we did our taxes ugg, keeping our fingers crossed that we won't have to pay much if anything. I have also re-arranged the living room with much help from nadia and much cajoling alex. He is set in his ways the stinker once we have a piece of furniture set,I'm tellin you it had better like the place it sits because that is where it will stay the rest of its life. I also bought a new guppie for my orginal guppie that has been surving I have also called him Finias but no name for the newbie as yet. Watched the final episode of the Batchelor last night in much suspense. Wow even though i'm glad I got to see it I am glad that its over.We have also set dates for a vacation in April from the 3rd through the 13 we are going back over to the island to visit Jacy and Tim and also to get a little rest and relaxing in along the way, really looking forward to that. Other than that life has been really the same diddly do diddly. I'd write more i guess i just feel that my life isn't that interesting to write about,

So what has been happening as of late hmm. Alot to catch up I didn't realize how many little things can happen in 4 weeks well I bought myself a little aquarium and set up shop for 3 little guppies soon after 2 died leaving a little survivor I thought bought another and he went crazy so happy to have a friend now this week his friend is not acting so good so I sure hope that he makes it for the little survivors sake. Have been working all week and the weeks before. The last part of January I helped Nadia host a tea party for her mom's birthday and this past week I went with my mom to see an art exhibit on glass at the desert musem and went to the zoo with Haleigh and Josh....ne how here are some pics of what has been happening xx and oo jordan

Happy 2009! Wow so amazing that another year has gone. We have been vacationing a little this last weekend, over new years and it was a fun little get away. We went to Palm springs to visit Lani and Kurt this weekend had a really fabulous time there. We started out celebrating New Years at their house, from there we got a grand tour of the Palm Desert, including some fun street fairs at which Kurt was working. We also went to Long Beach California and strolled around on the beach, we also visited a friend of Lani's and shared a B-B-Q. Finally on Sunday we went up into the mountains and got to see the colder side of the desert, 3 ft of snow on top of the mountains !

Now it is back to work and getting stuff done.. We still have one bathroom to complete and Alex and Rob made terrific headway getting it started, the tub is actually installed, we still have to tile the walls and floor and install a new toilet and sink and after that is finished we will move the renovations downstairs, to work on new flooring in the kitchen and refinishing the wood floors in the living room and office area. I think there must be light at the end of the tunnel. I have been experimenting with making lentils. I tried making them the other day by sauteeing them and adding water as needed instead of making a soup, this would have worked out great had I remembered I was actually cooking and didn't burn them halfway through, I did manage to salvage the lentils on top, and they were pretty good I hope to make another attempt and actually not burn them. We are also looking to purchase a wirless router since our neighbors have moved out (yeah) we are unable to leach the wirless from them so we must get our own. Once this is done I plan on signing up for some classes again though I wonder what I want to take.... I must got start getting ready for work here are some of the latest pictures

Yeah its done (it does have a mirror it wasnt up here though)

Wow - I am really behind these days I havn't really been feeling "computery" and I really don't have a choice cause I have to use Alex's computer and he has been on it alot these days. We have been having a pretty good month.For Thanksgiving we had a really nice time up at a B and B in Sedona and then we went and celebrated the Holiday with all four of our parents. We also managed to finish the bathroom so it is nice and neat now so that feeling of accomplishment has settled in, however Alex wants to start tearing up the other one soon so I'm trying to soak in the relaxing feeling while I can. In December we have been staying relatively close to home as it has been pretty chilly lately and the rain has been coming down a lot. We did celebrate Romeo's birthday this past weekend and all of the Delacruz family was together again. I think the last time that happend was when Rob and Nadia came to visit last December, however Kurt was able to join us this time as well so it was a really nice time having everyone together. We played laser tag and then had some Ethiopian food, yogurt. Here are some pics of what has been going on..
