Has it really been a year since I posted to the blog? Wow.....This year has definitely flown by! Apologies to my blog for the neglect….I still cannot establish a natural flow that allows for the update of my Facebook page and the blog.
We’ve had a good year. It’s been a busy one. Here are some updates (with pictures):
Jobs…..Carolyn’s remains the same; we were thrilled in June when John became a permanent Cisco employee. No more the worried life of a consultant!
Home…..No major projects, however, in May we welcomed “the twins”, aka Carolyn’s crafting cabinets.
Family…..enjoyed Easter in the Sierra Foothills with John’s sister Cathy and her husband, David.
In July, we traveled to Colorado for Carolyn’s Bock family reunion. Here's a picture of all who were able to join us in Grand Lake, Colorado.
We spent Labor Day with John’s Uncle Eric and family in Southern California. Little did we know that he would pass away just two weeks later. John and his Uncle Eric were great friends and travel buddies; grateful for the many wonderful memories!
Charlotte (Carolyn’s sister) joined us over the Thanksgiving holiday. We all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with Cathy and David and rounded out Charlotte’s visit with the latest Harry Potter movie, the Smuin Christmas Ballet, lots of crafting, and a visit to Monterey/Carmel. We’ll be home for Christmas…..it will be lovely!
Music….somehow we managed to book two major music events in the same week. It was amazing. In September, we enjoyed an amazing Willie Nelson concert at the Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA, and later that week, we enjoyed a Sheryl Crow concert at the Ironstone Winery in Murphys, CA. Cathy and David joined us for Sheryl Crow and we all sang, danced, and had a ball! What an entertainer she is!!!
Food….we have talked about food more in 2010 than in most years. Why? John started an OptiFast program in August (just after the Bock family reunion) and we quickly realized the big part food plays in our lives……especially when we’re not eating much of it. After 4 months of diligence, commitment, and an amazing display of willpower, John has lost 60 pounds (pics from his birthday in November)
and he’s now transitioned back to real food. This was a huge eye opener for us as we really had no idea how many of our rituals/celebrations revolved around food. So, we are now finding ourselves playing the Wii, walking the neighborhood, walking at a nearby shopping mall, and most importantly…paying attention to what we’re picking up and putting in our mouths. Wish us well this holiday season!!!
