Recent Happenings....

So it has been awhile since I've last posted....a LONG while. I suppose I should clue everyone in on what has been happening recently....

January 20, 2010--Macy was born! :) A cute little glow-worm bundle of joy!!

February marked the departure of my right hand (my mom) from her extended stay in Arizona. Matt's parents also visited. We are both hoping that BOTH sets of grandparents can someday join us in Arizona!

In March, Macy had her first plane ride, and first of many trips to Nebraska. Macy & I stayed for about 10 days and highlights included visits from many friends, my bridal shower, and bachelorette party! Matt also had his bachelor party in Las Vegas. Macy also saw snow for the first time in Nebraska! By the time we returned from Nebraska, Macy was also sleeping through the night!

April absolutely flew by! Some highlights include wedding plans, wedding plans, and more wedding plans. Workouts and workdays. And more wedding planning.

In May, my sister, MacKenzie, graduated from college and Macy and I visited Nebraska for the event. Then, came wedding day! It was perfect weather, and a perfect day, despite all the troubles our out-of-town guests had in their arrivals. :) Matt and I then continued on to Atlanta, where highlights included Olympic Park, the Aquarium, and Mushroom Mellow's pizzeria. Macy enjoyed spending time with Gramma and Grumpa Moore.

In June, Matt and I went tubing down the Salt River, celebrated Matt's birthday with ice cream cake and happy hour at Kona Grill, and Macy and I went back to Nebraska for a friends bachelorette party and Father's Day.

In July, our family watched fireworks for the 4th, and enjoyed a "stay-cation" at the Hotel W in Scottsdale. We tubed down the Salt River again, and continued our attendance at Red Mountain Community Church. Macy's bottom teeth "appeared" and she began to regularly eat solid foods.

August is now here, and in a few days Gramma & Grumpa Moore arrive to babysit Macy while Matt & I head to Sandals Ocho Rios in Jamaica. That's what we've been up too! :)

37 1/2 weeks, How many more???

Happy New Year!

2009 absolutely FLEW by!

A few highlights to remember 2009 by...

January 2009--Liz's 26th Birthday

March 2009-- Liz & Matt's Trip to Vegas for the NCAA Tourney

April 2009--Liz & Matt's Trip to Disneyland! (First-timer!! :-)

May 2009--Liz & Matt's First Cruise!

June 2009--Matt's 28th Birthday

July 2009--Liz & Matt's Engagement! :-)

October 2009--Matt Bought his 1st Home!

December 2009--1st Christmas in the New Home!

Now, 2010 starts off with a BANG! I think Matt & I were the ONLY people purchasing "alcohol removed" champagne at the liquor store on New Year's Eve! :-) It was too bad we both fell asleep before the new year began! But the champagne and egg casserole made for a phenomenal New Year's Day Brunch!

Matt is back to work today, first day back since Dec 23, and first day at ICE's new location! It sounds like a great building and Matt is all pumped up to be #1 overall for 1st Quarter 2010, just like he was for 4th Quarter 2009!

I am getting very anxious for Macy Grace to be here! My mom stayed after Christmas so she can be here when MG decides to make her debut! I feel like a walking time-bomb....everyday, just waiting! Now that the holidays have passed, there isn't a grand "to-do" list everyday. The nursery is done, presents have been bought, Macy has everything she needs, and my big item on the to-do list everyday is my 2 mile walk! :-)

She will come when she is good and ready, but Dr. Moon (a fellow Nebraskan!) said we can induce any day after the 15th...I would rather let her come when she is ready, but I do want her to be ready sooner than later! :-) I'm just ready for her to be here already! It seems like the last few weeks probably go the most slowly...

I hope your 2010 is starting off as blessed as ours is so far! The 70 degree weather certainly makes us love to call Zona home, but we still miss all of you!

Much love,

Liz, Matt & Macy
