Where the Heck Have We Been?

Hey everyone!!
Its us again. We've done an extremely crappy job at this... No blogging has occured in this Short Family in over 6 months. I think Eric just liked opening the blog and seeing loser cougars... and he was content with that.

Well... let's give you the shortened version of the last 6 months:

September-- Ute Football. Not a good month for Ute Football.
October-- Ute Football. A better month for Ute Football.
November-- Ute Football. Good and bad month for football.

That was a quick 3 months, but that's pretty much it.
Christmas was pretty great. Eric and I got to spend our first Christmas Season together and we enjoyed every minute. As usual, we spoiled eachother and lived up the moment. Future holidays will be more subtle (at least we say that). All the Castletons were in town--minus Melissa in Poland-- and it was great to have everybody around. Especially since we got to hang out every night in a row for over a week. We were loving it.
We spent new years at a Jazz game with Ryan and Linds, then passed the rest of the night with my family. All sorts of crazy games that night-- especially the ping-pong blowing game. Dave LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVES that game!!

After the start of the new year, Eric and his family started a weight-loss bet. Its the best thing ever as they were all getting a bit tubby. After 2.5 months, Matt and Eric seem to be the only ones trying and they are doing great. The bet ends on the last day of April and it looks like it might be a close race. But the two of them look a lot better--even though Eric is the skinniest!! OF COURSE Eric will win! Before and after pictures to be posted AFTER its all over. As you can see to the right, it's not Eric's healthiest moment. :)


My school is going great! I LOVE MY KIDS!! I think they are the cutest class I have had so far. They get cuter every year, so maybe it just never stops getting better!

Easter was fun-- another first for us. I had prepared a Easter Egg Hunt for us and we had a lot of fun. I had glow-in-the-dark eggs filled with a little candies and Eric was a great little hunter!

Eric and I are looking forward to our first anniversary next month. We are going to CANCUN!!!

We seriously can't wait to go sit on a beach just like this one and just rest. Mexican's serving us and just sitting. Getting tan, and sitting. Work has been so busy for the both of us and we can't wait for our little getaway. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
That's it for now... I'm tired. We'll catch up more later!

I'm so glad to see you back in the blogging world. (Not that I'm a great blogger myself!) It sounds like you guys have had a great 1st year of marriage and definitely deserve a reward to Cancun! Thanks so much for the cute easter candy you dropped by for our girls! They loved it! The pez was gone first! You guys are wonderful and Heather, I'm so glad you are in the family! :)
