Here we go again...

We moved to Chicago about a month ago.  It's crazy to think that we are already moving again. 



Sporting our VW shirts!

Tavo got an internship with Volkwagen Group of America.Which means we are relocating to Michigan!



Anyone who knows Tavo knows that this is a dream come true. Getting this amazing opportunity takes me back to when we were dating. As we were talking about our career goals and the plan for our future family, Tavo would tell me about  his dream was to work with Volkswagen. I guess I wasn't a super supportive girlfriend at the time because I remember nodding my head and smiling. In my head I was think the reality of that happening were slim. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I didn't believe in him right away. But now I have all the faith in the world in him and I am so proud of him,  he is making our dreams come true.


The past couple weeks have been busy. Moving is hard work. Especially with a one year old who takes things out of the box as soon as you put them in. His new favorite this is to climb in the boxes along with all our junk.



We have been busy searching for an apartment, and I think we finally found a place! 

We make the move Saturday. 

Wish us luck during this busy week.

Happy Birthday

Today is McKay's first birthday. 

I can't believe it. It feels like just yesterday I was pregnant, and now I have a busy and active little boy. 

We didn't celebrate too much today because while everyone was in Rexburg for our graduation we threw McKay a Dr. Seuss birthday party.

When McKay was in the NICU they had "A PERSONS A PERSON NO MATTER HOW SMALL" all over because the majority of the babies were pretty little (Including McKay at 4 pounds 1 ounce). That inspired the theme for the celebration.

Until Next Time

Today I had to say goodbye to my brother. 

Carter decided to make the 23 hour drive with us to help with McKay.

We made it to Chicago right before the big snow storm hit.

We had to go see the BEAN.

We hope to see you this summer Carter.

happy new year....from CHICAGO


After a long drive we arrived in Chicago on New Years Eve. Now we are starting the new year as college graduates in Chicago. 



 


After a lot of prayer and pondering we felt that this is where we need to be. 
and we are excited about this change in our life!

I know I am a day late but...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here are some pictures from our GRADUATION







And I think every baby has to have a picture like this with
