August Is Here!!
Hello Everyone!
I cannot believe it is August. It feels like the summer is flying and fall is just around the corner. I am loving Colorado! I feel truly blessed to have made great friends in my new hometown and that I get to see Emily all the time! Our neighbors behind us are an Army family as well. The wife, May, and I have become great friends. We have been cooking dinner together a few nights a week while our "boys" aka husbands are gone. May's husband has been in and out of the USA. My neighborhood does "family" dinners ( sometimes breakfast) about every other week. There are usually three to four families that rotate in attendance. We go and try out different restaurants or host potluck dinners. I have been running, cooking, playing with our dogs, and spending time with family & friends over the past few months. John is doing well. I look forward to having him home for RR sometime soon. I have no idea of the dates as usual but I am still excited!! John and I have been able to email almost daily and chat about once a week depending on his location.

Long Time No Blog
Hello Everyone!
I hope this note finds everyone doing well! I cannot believe John left over a month ago! Time has surely flown by the past few weeks. I have an address for John if anyone is interested in sending him a card! My house is falling into a new normal routine. I have returned to work. I am working as a paralegal for a Gasper Law Group which is a local firm. I am working downtown right beside the court house. I started two weeks ago and all is going well. It has been a huge change after taking over a year off work. However, I do believe that it was the correct choice. I hired a dog sitter who walks Sam and Mister once or twice a day depending on my schedule. YES, it is worth the money. Sam, our lab, was getting bored and tearing apart the house. I am happy to report that my house has stayed in one piece since Ron started walking both dogs. I have made a few army wife friend. We do girls date night once a week. I am also starting to volunteer within our FRG and I may have lost my mind but I told the Brigade Commander's wife that I would be happy to help in the planning of the welcome home ball in June 2011.

Travel Time!
Good morning family and friends! We hope this note finds everyone doing well. It is travel time at the Taylor house! John has block leave for a little over a week. "Block leave" is the time John has off before he deploys. We start our adventures tomorrow. We are going Orem, Utah to visit his family then the rest of the time we will be on some sort of adventure. We are looking into going to Moab, Utah or spending a few days in Vegas. My vote is Vegas but we shall see. Our friend, Kate, is going to watch the dogs so we have more flexibility traveling.

Happy Easter!
Hi Everyone!
Happy Easter! We hope everyone has had a great Easter. Emily and I hosted an Easter lunch-dinner at my house today. It was fun to use my china and silver. I always love a perfectly set dinner table with china & silver. We had fruit, cheese, crackers, chips to name a few of the appetizers. Dinner consisted of honey baked ham, potatoes, macaroni casserole, green bean casserole to name part of the dinner. We had a wonderful wine and champagne selections thanks to Emily. I must say today would have not been a success without Emily's help! Emily gets rockstar brownie points.
I also would like to point out how awesome Em has been the past few weeks. I broke my wrist almost three weeks ago and Emily has been helping bunches. She has cooked and cleaned my house more than once!

Pie Update
Hi everyone! Well, I am silly! I forgot to put the sugar down for the chocolate pie!
The receipt needs two cups sugar. I have also tried using Splenda but it does not work as well. I am not sure why but the pie turns out runny when using Splenda!
