Happy Thanksgiving!

(^ Our Family Photo)
We had a wonderful thanksgiving and hope that you all did as well! We had 2 thanksgivings today. Our first one, was at Kevin and Anjali's with Stan and Beth and the kids. The food was absolutely delicious! Neither of us could stop eating. We had a wonderful time hanging out with all of them..and to be honest, it felt sorta like home. I got to video chat with my parents, brother and sister in law, and grandma D. today, which was great, minus the fact that the internet wasn't cooperating very well. Anyways, back to thanksgiving. After Kevin and Anjali's, we went over to Betty, the principal's house, and thought we were going to have a meal with them too. But we were seriously mistaken. Come to find out, we were 2 hours late. They didn't tell us that they changed the time..so we missed the meal and walked in feeling really awkward. We played dominoes for 2 hours and then ate loads and loads of desserts!! (my second favorite part of thanksgiving..my first is being with family and friends) Then we took a wonderful group picture, which I will be posting asap. Then we came home and looked at matt and heather's newly posted wedding pictures! (which were amazing...go to www.pictage.com557448) Now, were at Stan and Beth's for the evening, so i thought i would update this real fast.

Funny Stories:
1. Wednesday we went to Flagstaff, and when we got home we had many messages. One of the messages was a scary, scary quiet whsipery satan voice saying "help me..i need your help..please help me!" I think its safe to say that it was the most frightening moment of our entire lives. Who did this? Is this for real? Do they really need help?...we didn't know what to think. Later that night we went to Stan and Beth's and told them about the creepy demon message...and found out that it was STAN! He played a dirt nasty trick on us, but I'm pretty sure he didn't realize he was messin' with the mastas of pranks. We have already begun to plan our sweet, sweet revenge.

2. Get ready for this one. So, on the way home from Flagstaff, I (lauren) had to pee like a racehorse. It physically hurt..and I was beginning to worry that I was going to have a serious accident in my pants..and all over courtney's upholstery. We finally came upon a gas station..but it was a little on the sketchy side..and there were approximately 5 hitchhikers standing right by the road. So we voted not to stop there, despite how badly I needed to use their facilities. As my bladder grew weaker and weaker..we realized I had run out of options. We suddenly came to the conclusion that my only hope for relief was pulling over..and peeing in the middle of the desert. So, I did just that. I pulled over..(keep in mind that the roads were severely busy..cars coming non stop) I knew I had a small time frame to pull it off. I went a ways out into field..but was still within hearing distance of courtney, who had her window down in order to comfort me by singing me the song on the radio (it was pitch dark..and I was scared a snake or something weird was going to jump up and get me). I looked both ways and thought the time was right. After a few seconds, Court stops singing and starts shouting, "THERE'S A CAR COMING!! CAR! CAR!" I looked to the right and saw 2 headlights coming fast..so instead of staying where I was, trying to camoflage myself, or just simply lay down...I stood up in a wild panic, started screaming, and ran all the way to the car with my pants at my ankles. Apparently, the wild panic didn't work, and the car saw me and my white booty. To make the situation a little worse, they gave their horn a few solid honks as they drove by. I think it's safe to say that I have never been more traumatized in my entire life. Court and I laughed/almost cried for a good 15 minutes.

Well, we have Fri-Mon off school..so we will def. be blogging again soon! And we should have some exciting things to report due to all of our free time!

We love you and miss you!

Lo and Court

P.S. For all of you that came here with us in August. Here's Decatur! She has pretty much been living at our house for the past week and is still the cutest dog Hopi has ever seen. We're 90% sure she's going to have puppies... any takers?

Blog Jumbalaya

Well, here we are again..taking forever to update the blog. But we really have been super duper busy. Doing what exactly I can't say..maybe you'll get a taste of our lives from these videos. Above is footage from the big race around the playground (part of our weekly class competitions that Court and I started with Student Council..we also did a jump rope competition)

Since our last post, we've went to Flagstaff for the day with Stan and Beth. It's always nice to get off the reservation for awhile and do something different. So, we always enjoy a good old trip to Flag..in fact, were going tomorrow to do some banking & get a double serving of delicious Starbucks salted caramel hot chocolate! We have a half day of school tomorrow and then were off Thurs. and Friday for Thanksgiving.

I (lauren) have been working in the office in the mornings and doing lots and lots of secretarial work. I'm enjoying it..and my favorite part is going to get the mail 2 times a day. I always drive the old mercury to the post office..its giant and has the longest front and back ends known to man. I love it for two reasons..1. I feel like I'm in a getaway car and feel the need to swerve and fishtail around every corner (but don't worry Mom..I don't) 2. It's the exact same car that Grandma Dorothy and Grandpa Sandberg had when I was little.. I mean exact..same color, same upholstery..everything..and everytime I get in it..memories flood my heart and soul.

Everyday after lunch, I'm in charge of A.R. (which is a reading program where the kids take tests over the books they read). It's not much work..all I do is type in a password (which is lauren) but the kids watch my fingers with eagle eyes..so I've had to spend some time practicing typing my name faster than the speed of light. After doing A.R., I usually have a few computer classes..and the kids play learning games..and I keep them under control. So, that's what an average day in my life at the school looks like. I think it's very safe to say that I have made it through my first period of homesickness..it was pretty bad last week and the week before. This week has been much better thus far. Courtney and I were both feeling the same thing..I probably had more homesickness..but, we were both just kind of confused/annoyed with the situations we have to deal with at school daily...one thing that lifted us from our unhappy state of mind was talking to Jeff and Andrea. It was just really encouraging and comforting to talk with some of our best friends from home. As you know, for a while I struggled with nightmares and just felt like Satan was trying to intimidate me. For the first month or so, the nightmares were too much for me to handle, but in the last few weeks, I feel like God has given me a new confidence in him. I'm no longer afraid to fall asleep at night, and haven't had a nightmare in long time. All I do is say "in the name of Jesus, Satan get out..and something along the lines of "Satan you can't mess with me..I belong to Jesus" and immediately I feel the peace of Jesus come over me and fill my room. Some of you may know that those phrases aren't new for me, I've been saying them for years..but I've never said them with such unwaivering confidence in Jesus. I've also been working really hard to dig into his word, which has always been a struggle for me. It's getting easier and I'm enjoying it fosho. I have a little more venting to do....I'm not sure how to put it..but sometimes I just question my purpose here. I sit in an office and do officey stuff..I monitor the computer lab...it just doesn't feel like I'm accomplishing much. And I know this is Satan trying to mess with me and confuse me. I also know that God brought me here for a reason..and I guess if the only reason is for us to become best of friends with Stan and Beth, then that will wonderful. But, I do feel like there is something more..and I need to know what it is..so, I'd appreciate if you could pray for me in that area. thanks. Now that I've become Debbie Downer..I'll try to be a little more positive. I am incredibly excited for Christmas Break!!! I can't contain my joy. I have fully immersed myself in the spirit of Christmas. I'm mading new holiday playlists for my ipod, drinking loads of eggnog and hot chocolate, finalizing my christmas list, thinking warm christmasey thoughts, and dreaming of feet upon feet of snow! I love and miss all of you! and Happy Thanksgiving in case I don't talk to you before then!

It's Court Now...

Ok so last week I had the second graders rewrite a nursery rhyme. Like little boy blue or little miss muffet. ^ The video is of Steven.. one of my favorites reading his poem.

Translation: "Little Boy Zackery come blow your nose. The pencil is in your nose."... a young Shakespeare you might say. Second grade has been alot easier this week. I had a really bad last few weeks and the worst of it was probably sunday night. I was just feeling really frusterated with being here and with my students and just tons of other things and I couldn't really explain it even to myself. But earlier that day I had been listening to my iPod while Lauren and I were doing a mass amount of dishes and the song "This is Life" by Laura Woodley came on. There's a part in that song that goes "I come in empty and I leave filled, bring my sickness and I leave healed. Broken hearted you mend every piece, i come in captive and I leave free." and it was like a wap on the back of the head. The whole time I had been feeling crappy ( or "sick") about everything I had just sort of been hoping it would go away and just saying "God I trust you to take this away." When what I really needed to be doing was bringing my sickness to God.. telling him how I felt and actually ASKING him to heal me and my frustrations rather than just wishing it away or assuming it would be gone the next day. So later that night I just kind of laid it all out there for God and asked him to show me my purpose and to show how to love my students and ways to fill their days with joy.. and Monday was one of the best days I have had here... and today was even better. In addition- the korean boy in my class is improving on his english with leaps and bounds. We took a class walk today down to the wash (which is amazing.. me and lo are going to walk down there on thursday and do a little photoshoot for you) and I told them all to take a big rock and throw it in to the wash and he just kept yelling " THROW A BIG ROCK!!!" which lead me to clap and jump around like a fool. He also called me grandma later on... perhaps a setback but at least its english. I think that's about all I have for now and we had a few more videos to post but it isnt working so we'll have to try tomorrow.

Love you all.

Court

Time for and Update!

Ok so we are officially promise breakers and haven't updated again for a week. BUT we are once again at Stan and Beth's so we can squeeze in an update.

Last week... well it stunk. First off there is a big witch craft following here and there were some gatherings early in the week which caused a whole array of freaky things to happen.. if you want more details ask but otherwise I'll just leave it at that. Plus I was teaching 2nd grade and the kids were bad with a capital B. For example: the kids aren't supposed to bring electronics to school for obvious reasons. Anyways... when the kids were lining in to come in for recess, Zackery (the Navajo boy who told be how to butcher a sheep earlier in the year..) pulled a PSP (kind of like a gameboy but way better for all you technologically uninformed) out of his pocket. As soon as he saw that I noticed it I could see the wheels turning. About a half a second later he had some elaborate story about how his mom was mad at him that morning so she slipped the PSP in his pocket just to get him in trouble. I never did get him to admit he was lying and the rest of the day was filled with more lying and lots of whining. Friday night we had a sleep over with Isabella and Anastasia ( Stan and Beth [the missionaries from back home that we are with 24/7]'s daughters). It was their first night away from their parents ever and let me tell you, they came prepared. Both of them brought a suitcase, a back pack, and a sleeping bag, not to mention every polly pocket they owned. It was a wild night and we were in bed by 10.They picked out their own outfits for the next morning. Please note the sun hat.
THIS IS LAUREN NOW:
Saturday we went to Cameron (a place on the way to the Grand Canyon that has a giant touristy store filled with indian items) to do some shopping with the Pettengill's. Overall, it was a very fun day. On the way there we listened to New Kids on the Block and Alvin and The Chipmunks Christmas Carols. The only thing C and I bought was some fudge and jelly. But, I did buy my mom a Christmas present at a little store on the highway. Next to the store in Cameron, there's a really cool motel. It has the most grand courtyard I've ever laid eyes on. It was like a secret rock garden. Of course, Elijah and the girls loved it...it was perfect for hide and seek, running from the "tiger" aka Courtney, and pretending we were in a lush jungle. We took a breathtakingly beautiful picture of Stan, Beth and the kids.
Well..I tried to upload some videos, but they are not cooperating right now..even with stan and beth's supa fast internet. We will keep trying though.

Monday-Wednesday has kind of been a blur as Im looking back on it right now..so I'll tell you what I can remember right now. Monday, Courtney was violently ill..and I MEAN VIOLENT. I'll just leave it at that for Courtney's sake. But, its all good, because she's okay. But, I subbed for her the day she was sick..and Zackery made her a get well card that said " I Live You" and I almost cried because it was so cute. Today, we went to the health club finally!!!!! It was wonderful to burn some calories, pump some iron, and produnce some endorphins. After the health club, we sat on our back patio on folding chairs, listened to music, enjoyed the scenery, and took a video for you guys..but like I said, the videos wont load. So, maybe next time.

Well..that's all for now. I promise we'll get you guys some good videos soon.


Oh one more thing..today on the way to the health club, I was driving, and Courtney was teasing me about my driving skills (it was all in good fun) But, I took it one step too far with my retaliation..I slammed on the brakes to startle her and Courtney flew forward and hit her head on the window! This makes me sound really cruel..but she asked for it! It also may have been the funniest thing I've ever seen..I laughed for 10 minutes straight..and Court did not..until the pounding went away... then we were cool and merrily worked out together.
love,
Lauren and Court





^ One video worked. This is Elijah dancing to Sleeping Beauty: AKA the funniest thing on earth. Enjoy.

Introducing: Norman Rockwell Jr.

So... yesterday we got Directv. I can't tell you how nice it is to watch the news again. Not to mention every other TV show we have been missing in the month and a half we have been here. Well, I was just minding my own business... pretending to do things in the kitchen so I didn't have to awkardly sit in the living room with the installation guy- and all of a sudden Lauren walked in the front door holding this:

Cats are kind of a rarity around here (because the dogs get hungry)... actually this is the first one I have seen the whole time. Apparently he was living in the maintence shop... and John the maintence guy knew Lauren was a sucker for animals of the stray sort... so we sort of adopted it. Our original plan was to let it live inside, have it lay at our feet as we drank hot chocolate, and teach it to meow on command... until we called around to different vets and found out how stinking expensive kitten shots are. Plus.. we would have to get it declawed so it didn't shred the furniture in our house... and that cost as much as oh... say.. a cadillac. Long story short... we built it a house out of a cardboard box ( left over from the cookies Katie Lauer sent us) and Norman(who Lauren sometimes calls Meowsterson...) now lives on our doorstep... except for the occasional times when we can't take the cuteness and bring him inside.

Then today-- we had the day off for veterans day. After saying we were going to work out every day since we've been here, we finally got in the car to go today. When we got to the veterans center (where the workout place is) it was closed. So, as soon as we got home we jumped on our bikes to go for a ride.

As you can see from the video.. it was quite the adventure.. especially when we drove through the village. Picture.. me on lauren's grandma's bike (thank you grandma dorothy), lauren on her little purple mountain bike, and a pack of 5 dogs following closely behind. On the way home it was all downhill..so we didnt have to peddle at all...which was quite nice.

Not much else has happened around here..we have both had some crazy dreams lately. Lauren had one the other night that was quite bizarre. She dreamt that there were babies running across her pillowcase..and she could hear their little feet scurrying above her head. And for some reason it disturbed her..so she had to wake me up and tell me about it in the middle of the night.

There's not much more to tell you guys. We miss you all dearly..and are looking forward to Christmas break so that we can see all of you again!

Remember a few posts ago, when we said we were going to name blog superstars..well we've been forgetting to do that..so we'll try to start that up again. Today's blogsuperstar is..Grandma Dorothy Sandberg!!! Both of us love and appreciate you...and are very thankful that you let us borrow your bike. I (lauren) am looking forward to seeing you on Christmas break! I miss you Grandma playdough cheeks!

Love,

Court and Lauren

Parking Cones, Newsletters, and Highschool Musical.

The past two days have been pretty fun, and also pretty hectic at the same time. Yesterday I found out that the 2nd grade teacher is leaving for good on Sunday. You may remember me saying that I was going to take over 2nd grade eventually- well as of two weeks ago we decided that I wouldn't and would just stay the receptionist and student council sponsor instead.. well thats not the case anymore. She's not leaving me any lesson plans either... so I will just have to wing it on Monday I guess! Prayers are appreciated... and anyone who feels like they are supposed to come to this awesome place and teach 2nd grade should def. let me know ASAP.

Also the gym teacher didn't show up yesterday so guess who got to teach kindergarten PE. You guessed right. Me and Lo got to be referee for some heated hula hoop contests while Lyle stood in the corner and screamed "DONT TALK TO ME!". Later on I did fifth grade gym which consisted of Jack ( the only 5th grade boy) putting parking cones on his head and running into the wall while singing songs from Cheetah Girls. I laughed so hard I slobbered all over my shirt. Lady like aren't I?

Lauren and I have been working on folding and labeling 2,000 newsletters pretty much all week. The other night while we watched the election Isabella started helping us and for some odd reason thinks taping newsletters is the funnest thing in the world. So yesterday she asked uf she could come over and do more. That girl folded and taped 200 of those things in like an hour. We were amazed.

Today was just as crazy. We had Flu shots this morning and the kids all acted as if they had major surgery. So to lighten the mood we brought the camera out to recess with us and got some fun pictures.

One of our favorites. This is Elise from kindergarten.

Tracey and Shosheena from second grade.. they were saying "BEST FRIENDS" in the picture which may be why Shosheena looks angry. These girls are both Navajo. Shosheena is Levander (sheep rider)'s sister.

FINALLY! You get to see the infamous Lyle. I caught him in a happy mood and he thought me being in the tunnel was funny. Hence: getting him to smile in a picture.

Lauren Sandberg: Swing pusher to the stars.

At lunch we hosted a jump rope competition. Quite riveting. 4th grade won with 29 jumps in a row. It was really fun with everyone standing in a circle saying " GO! GO! GO!" a very High School Musical moment. After school we took Isabella with us to get the mail then run Ms. Roy to her house. And now... we are hanging out at Stan and Beth's watching movies with the kids.

I'll end this post with a video of Lauren attempting to climb the climbing wall at recess. I laugh everytime I watch it so I hope you do too.

PS: My parent's bible study group sent us A TON of Snacks for the kids. Our snack closet is full and the kids are loving the snack after first recess. THANKS GUYS! :)

PICTURES!

We are babysitting at Stan and Beth's...and they have internet that actually works so we decided to post some much needed pictures.

This is an amazing chapel in Sedona... it is one of the coolest buildings I have ever seen. This picture doesn't quite do it justice, but you get the idea. ( These are from my first trip to Sedona with the teachers a few weeks ago).
Sedona... beautiful

I made the mistake of saying my high school mascot was a mustang. Betty (the principal) then forced me to pose in front of this statue. People were staring... but I thought of the blog and sucked it up.
The bus me and Lo decorated for the Red Ribbon Parade a few weeks ago.
The kids excited for the parade! The woman in the front seat is Ms. Roy the kindergarten teacher I have mentioned before.

Lauren with Jerrine (Ms. Roy's daughter) and DiLyla- two of our Student Council girls. This is from the night we worked concessions at the basketball game.

Pickle juice with koolaid.. a Hopi favorite. This is Aaron drinking it and crazy Michael in the backround. That boy has some dance moves. They're both in sixth grade.

I hate this picture.. but it's the sake of the blog. By the way.. the koolaid pickle juice- not that bad!

Me, Mom, and Tanner in downtown Sedona last Sunday.

All of us at one of my favorite spots. Oak Creek Canyon.

Sedona, concessions, and winter hats

HOLY COW. We haven't blogged in ages. Sorry about that. I can't even remember what the last thing we updated you on was. I did mention that Tanner and Lori were here..and they have since left. So, I'll go ahead and fill you in on their time here. Well, they got here on Friday and that night we went to Stan and Beth's for dinner and a little Simon Birch. And Elijah entertained us all by singing and dancing (traditional Indian style) as Stan played a beat on his drum. I think Tanner and Lori would agree that he is the funniest/cutest little boy alive. Saturday morning we drove to Flagstaff and spent the day there. We went to the historic disctrict..aka the cool artsy part, filled with coffee shops, expensive boutiques, and bookstores. We shopped around and ate at a delicious little pizzeria. Our waiter there was the spittin image of Alex Otto. After lunch we went to the mall..where we shopped more..and Courtney got her haircut. I talked to my Grandma Dorothy on the phone while waiting for Court..and found out that she's crotcheting me a blanket, which I'm verrrry excited for! Anyways..Courts hair looked good..but her stylist didnt even dry her hair..so she had to walk around lookin like a wet mop. We drove over to a shoe store and the second we got out of the car, our noses were filled with a stench like nothing I've ever smelled before. I can only think of one thing to describe it..old moldy cheesey dog food. We all gagged and sprinted into the store to get away from the aroma. Later that night, we checked into our hotel, watched 27 dresses, absorbed as much news and tv as we could..(because we dont have tv at our house) and fell deep asleep. Sunday morning we went to Sedona. We stopped at Oak Creek Canyon..which is absolutely beautiful. We took a few pictures and shopped for turquoise jewelry made by local indians. I would just like to say that I love Sedona. It seems like it'd be a great place to live..but don't worry, my heart is in Indiana...Kouts to be exact. We ate lunch at a nice restaurant that had giant picture windows overlooking the red mountains of Sedona. It was quite a view..and the food was delightful. Take a wild guess what we did next....yes, that's right..more shopping. Later we got some pistacio gelatto (which might sound rotten..but is actually delicious) Finally, we left Sedona..and I almost forgot to mention, we drove by Slide Rock..which is a rock that people slide down into a stream. Tanner and I vowed to go down it this spring when its warm again. On the way home Courtney put in a classic Christmas cd (made by L. Chatwell) and we all concluded that we felt like we were in a movie..with the winding roads, fall foilage, and glorious mountains..plus jazzy xmas tunes. We reached Flagstaff and had to do some grocery shopping...and after that..we were finally headed back to the rez. We unpacked Court's insanely packed car, and relaxed for the evening. We watched one of the greatest movies ever made..the Chronicles of Narnia..and went to bed. Monday we had school of wcourse..and Lori and Tanner came and helped out with various things. They went to chapel with us..but unfortunately our 2 favorites, Levander and Lyle, weren't there..so they didnt quite get the full experience. Tanner played with us and the kids at lunch. Lately Courtney and I have been in a jump rope phase. We dont do the jumping..but the roping. Usually Zachary, a 2nd grader, does the jumping. We also make up silly jump rope rhymes..like this one.."Muskrat, Muskrat, banana pie, sing me a song and don't be shy!" yes..its weird and doesnt really make sense..but the kids thought it was funny..i think. Monday afternoon we to the Hopi Market..aka a tiny jewelry store..where Courtney bought a cool piece of pottery that she plans to pass on to her grandkids. Then we went to Stan and Beth's for dinner. Lori made her world famous lasagna and garlic bread, which was wonderful. We didnt stay late because they had some serious packing to do. They left early Tuesday morning..and overall, I think they had a good time, and got to experience a little bit of our lives here, as well as the culture of the Hopi.

As for the things that happened in between our last post..and Tanner and Lori arriving..well, I can't really rememeber many of them. But here's a few. Courtney and I had to supervise concessions at the jv basketball game for student council. There was a large amount of chaos involved in getting prepared for this..I can't tell you how many times I ran back and forth from the gym to the school. We were serving what the average concession stand does..inculding giant pickles soaked in red kool-aid (a Hopi favorite). Actually, Courtney and I tried one..and she chugged some of the pickle and kool-aid juice. I caught it on film just for the blog..and then after that all the kids wanted to do it too, which I also documented with my camera..so hopefully I'll be able to load those on here for you. I brought my ipod and stereo to listen to..thinking it might make it a little bit more fun..and it did. We all, including the sixth grade boys, sang High School Musical songs to pass the time. It was hilarious. On the way home, Court and I bought homemade tamales from a Hopi woman who works at the school with us. She was trying to make a little extra money, so we thought it would be a good idea to support her...and try some Hopi cuisine. They were delicious..but I'm pretty sure we're the cause of my stomach troubles later that night. The other thing I needed to update you on was last Wednesday night..we went to a Halloween carnival at Hopi High School. Our sixth grade class had a ring toss booth set up and were raising money for their class trip, so we went to help them out. There were so many people..it was packed tight. We couldn't even take 2 steps without bumping into someone. But we really did enjoy seeing more Hopi teens. It's just very interesting. They are all very into the hip-hop scene. Courtney and I both decided we would've liked to go to Hopi High. Well, I think that's just about everything. I'm sure in the next few days I'll rememeber something that happened and the second I do..I will get on here and blog it.

As for today, not too much happened. The office's dirty carpet was torn out yesterday and today they put tile down..which will be real nice to have. Yesterday, since the office was a mess, Courtney and I took our work to Betty's house and did everything in her cozy living room while watching Full House. It was really fun. Back to today..which was Hat day..neither of us brought a single hat in all of our packing. Court and I were forced to go down to the basement of the school where tons of mittens, sweaters, scarves, and hats are kept..most are homemade and sent to the school from church knitting groups. So we had to pick out hats..both of us have large heads..and just simply look awkward in hats. But we finally settled on knit hats with little pom pons on top. Yes, we looked silly, but we did have exceptionally warm heads. We were both in charge of recess duty..and it was approximately 30 degrees this morning with insanely strong winds. So to keep warm, we taught the kids various dance moves...such as the moonwalk, electric slide, and the running man. It was the funniest thing ever..just imagine 15 Hopi kids surround Court and I as we all dance to keep warm. I would venture to say that it was the best recess they've ever had. Well...that really is about all that's happened around here..it feels good to finally update this thing...but right now I'm hungry so I'm going to go fix myself some Oreos and milk.

L & C

They're Here!

Yesterday, Court's sis and mom, Tanner and Lori, arrived! We are so glad they're here. Last night we took them to Stan and Beth's for dinner and a movie. We also took them to the Cultural Center to buy some sassy Hopi-made jewelry. This post is going to be super short becuase we're getting ready to drive to Flagstaff to do some shopping and then stay in a hotel. Then tomorrow, we plan to hit up Sedona for the day. Sunday night we should be back here..so maybe..just maybe..we'll fully update the blog then. Believe me, we have some seriously funny stuff to write about, we just have to find the time. I just tried for 15 mins to upload pictures for you..but the internet is still failing me.
Well, we're off to travel around the great state of Arizona! I'm sure tons of good blogging material will come from this trip. We will blog as soon as humanly possible!

love,
C & L
