I was recently thinking back to this time last year and whats going on now and i realized that they are quite similar (its almost scary).
For those who don't know last year
I was graduating
Starting a new job
Moving from Denver back to Fort Collins
and our big event was getting married
Now this year
Joe graduated
We both are starting new jobs
We are moving from Fort Collins to Denver
and our big event won't happen until January but then...
WE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!
Yep thats right we've gone and done something crazy! We are really excited to take this new step in our lives and are looking forward to it. (even though it seems like it will take forever)

The day has come :-D
Joe is a graduate!!!!!!! We had a great weekend celebrating Joe's graduation and we are now getting ready to pack and move. (If anyone gets bored next saturday and wants to help load a Uhal let me know!) Joe will finish his last 2 weeks at Xylem and then will start his new training June 2nd. Tiffany will be going back and forth from Denver to Fort Collins through June finishing up work with Columbine and then will be looking for a new job sometime in July or August.
Other than that things are going good and were excited to start the next chapter of our life.

Our exciting new adventure
SO something exciting is actually happening in our life so that thought I would tak to opportunity to put something worth ready on the blog :-D
On monday Joe was offered and accepted a job with Stock Building Supply, he will be joining their corporate management program which is a great opportunity and for him and our family! Who knew you could do construction management with a political science degree!
So as some have heard yes we will be moving at the end of the month. We will be going to the Denver area more specifically Arvada/Lakewood. While we are sad to be leaving so many friends we are excited to go find a place to live this weekend and start the next step in our life. And who knows maybe I'll get better as keeping everyone updated.
Yea, i finally had an exciting post!!

Hello Again!!
So until something exciting happens in our lives you all get the once a month undate!
April feels like it has come and gone way to fast! We are looking forward to graduation and summer plans. We did have the opportunity to see a 1st round Avalanche play off game, while they lost it was an exciting over time game. We are looking forward to going to at least 1 other play off game sometime soon.
Our weekends have been full of family activities between conference and birthday celebrations with the Haynies and visiting family with the Baunes. I feel like we haven't been home all month!!
We were able to have a geat conference weekend with Joe's family and celebrate his neice and nephews birthdays. We really enjoy being up in Pine it's always a great time.
Tiffany's cousins came into town for a week long visit, it was really fun to hang out with them (she hasn't seen them in quite awhile) but man do little kids have WAY to much energy!!!! Bailee did love having kids around to play with, she was pretty tired after they left. Tiffany also took a mini vacation to Utah with her mom this past weekend to help with weddings plans. Both Jen and Crys now have pictures, dresses, and invitations. Now the fun part of decorations and parties is about to begin.
Crystal and Scott (her future husband) came into town for a few days to visit before Scott goes off to work for the summer, we are looking forward to having some time to get to know him better before hes a part of the family.
Other than that not much else is going on. Joe has had some very sucessful interviews and now we just are waiting for some offers and then its decision time ! (Joe is a lot more patient when it comes to this than Tiffany is thats for sure!!)
I am definently looking forward to our summer adventures (there will be much more camping in our future!!) and our next steps as Joe graduates and gets out of school.
Hope all is well.

Fun times and Hockey games
Well March has sure kept us busy!
Joe has been busy with projects and papers but was able to sneak away for his last Spring Break. He went to Minnisota to vist Chris and Jane and his friend Drew. He had a great time and was able to even go to an Avalanche Vs Wild hockey game on Janes Birthday! I had a TON of work to do so I opted to stay home and actually was pretty productive. I was able to finish some baby blankets i've been working on and complete my wedding album.
Work is going well, I am in the process of changing some hours around so that I work 2 hours earlier in the morning and get home 2 hours earlier :-D (Maybe I will get my social life back!). While 2 jobs is starting to kill me I know that before to long Joe will be working so I will no longer be the sole income of the household.
The best thing that happened in March was by far the hockey game that we go to go to last night. Not only did the AVS win by a landslide but we were front row, and by front row I mean the only thing separating us from Joe Sakic was the plexi glass!!!!! I've never been in a 1st row seat and man after that there isn't anything better! We had a great time with some friends and thank them greatly for the tickets!!!
Well it's back to work for me, hope everyone is doing well. I'll post pictures when I'm home.

HELP!!! our dinner depends on it :-D
So between working 2 jobs and Joe being busy with school there isn't to much time for cooking in our house. We have done the crock pot meals for far to long now and I'm getting sick of it. Does any one have any ideas about meals that are good to make before hand and stick in the freezer? I've heard of people doing this but I don't know where to begin. I want to try to cook on the weekends for the following weeks meals so any suggestions?????
