Memorial Day Weekend

Haley was able to visit for the long Memorial Day weekend. She came down on Thursday afternoon (after a missed flight). I worked on Friday, but Michael had the day off and they took me to lunch. We were able to go to dinner with my grandma and grandpa Voorhees on Friday as they were down here for my cousin Keisha's high school graduation. Michael was able to meet my aunt Dot and uncle Steve at dinner. We floated the Salt River on Saturday, hung out by the pool, saw Angels and Demons, and just had a great time all weekend. Michael made a dinner on Sunday that he insisted on taking pictures of. It was delicious! He made a pork roast in the crock pot with his own recipe. He made a rub with mustard powder, garlic salt, dried onion, salt and pepper. Then he spread spicy brown mustard on top and cooked the roast on a bed of diced onion, carrots, and celery.

Our apartment is in the background, on the third floor. Our windows overlook this pool, which is one of the smaller of the three pools on the property. Fortunately this is one of the quiet pools and we aren't bothered by loud people too often.

I KNOW...I KNOW

I want everybody to know we haven't completely forgotten about our blog.  We realize our blog postings could use a HUGE improvement. We promise our goal is to try much harder. We do get a little frustrated with the downloading capabilities of our internet.  All we want is to upload a simple picture which can take FOREVER.  Okay, I guess we cant completely blame the internet. We will take SOME of the responsibility.  Please do not give up hope.

Love 
Michael & Whitnie

Sisters Visit

Niki and Haley came to visit a couple of weekends ago.  We had so much fun.
I loved having them here, I wish we could see them more.  It's hard being this far apart from my family.

Christmas 2008

Michael and I had the chance to go home for a few days over Christmas. It was great to see family and friends. Splitting time between the families can be hectic, but we love them all. As always, the time flew by and we are eagerly looking forward to out next trip home.

Jewkes somehow managed to lose Michael's new Jazz beanie (he promptly replaced it).
