Some of you may have noticed that I seemed to drop off the face of the earth. Well, it is a long frustrating story about a girl without the Internet for nearly 1 1/2 months. I won't bore you with all of the lovely details. Instead I have attempted a marathon of posting from the last 2 months. In an attempt to catch up as much as possible, I have created a few slide shows. To sum everything up, we had a wonderful Christmas, headed to Idaho to see Grandma and Grandpa Clark. Then Ben found out he had gotten an interview in Albany, NY for his CRNA program (Nurse Anesthetist). So, I was lucky enough to go with him and not bring the kids!! Thanks to my sister, Laura, who watched the kids so we could have a painless trip. It was a wonderful getaway. My best friend, Kim, just happens to live in Connecticut, just 2 hours from Albany, so seeing her was pretty much my top priority. I hadn't seen her in about 2 1/2 years, so it was long overdue! We had a blast and made it to New York City for a day. The day after we got back, I celebrated my 26th B-day. It was a good time. I went to lunch with my sisters and did a little shopping and then had friends over for cake and games that night. I couldn't have asked for a better time.
Well, that is about it. Except for one last thing...just today Ben found out that he was accepted to Albany Medical College!! Good job Ben. I am so proud of him. AMC is ranked #6 and they only accepted about 15 people for this coming fall, so props to him. I couldn't have done it. I just had to brag a little! So, I guess we will be moving to New York. Kinda scary! Maybe it's just change that I am afraid of. Anyhow, it should be good for us.

YEA!! Your're back!!! We've missed not seeing your blogs or hearing from you! Those were some really great slideshows. I love how Maddie was driving the snowmobile all by herself. Were you afraid she would crash it or something?
That is so fun that you got to see Kimmers! Your New York trip sounded great! I can't believe that you could be living so close to her. That is so awesome. You'll be back on the East coast again. Tell Ben congrats for us! I bet he has worked so hard for this! Keep up the posting! Miss ya!

I love that you're back in the blogging business. I'm also excited about Ben but so sad you will be moving. What will we do without you? This is exactly why I'm so thankful for blogs because we can always stay in touch! When is the move? I'll talk to you later :)
Congrats, Ben. That is some great news! We'd better hang out a few more times before you exit.

Hooray! The tortilla cigars are gone! I was excited to see all the new pictures, etc. Even though I see and talk to you it's fun to see the stuff like the kids playing in the snow, etc. The normal everyday stuff I don't see.
