Retrospective Take 1

I think I can admit that I'm definitely not the best blogger. Jeremy was much better than I, but until He finishes his grad school gig, I will do my best. I obviously haven't posted since around Christmas, so....

We spent Christmas in Colorado!


Cloud Dancing had her first experience of snow and loved it! She wanted to be outside laying in it as much as possible.




Jeremy and Justin brewed a Christmas home brew and cooled it down rapidly by shoveling cold snow on it.



We spent a day in Fort Collins with Justin and Missy (it was Missy's birthday!) and Elizabeth minus Chris because He's working for the man aka Schlumberger and was and still is in the midst of training - May is coming soon and training will be over, meaning He and Elizabeth can share the same roof again! I'm excited for you two!


There was lots of beer tasting, eating and great conversation!


I love my Johnson side of the family!
 
 We got back from Colorado, and Newt and Tucker came over to help build a new fence around our backyard. Cloud Dancing lost all rational thinking when there was a squirrel in our neighbor's yard, meaning, her supernatural powers came out and she jumped the cyclone fence that used to be there, landing in our neighbor's backyard with no clue on how to get back into our yard.We had no flexibility on days to build the fence because Jeremy only had a certain number of days for semester break, so they ended up building the fence on the coldest days we had all winter (15 and 18 degree days)! I know it was brutal, but I am super grateful and I must say the fence looks incredible! 


We ventured over to Mississippi the first weekend of February and got to hang out with some wonderful friends! I wish you could pick up and move your friends along with you when you leave a place.

 
Raun tried his hardest to keep a straight face! Not successful at all!




I completed my Healing Touch Level 3 class while we were in Jackson. That is where I began my training, and it has been a wonderful group of people to go through the classes with.



And, we are now consumers of raw milk! Yummy! This is Alice and Cathy. Cathy and I are in Master Gardener class together, which I will mention in another blog. She and I have become friends, and I venture out to their farm every Friday to pick up our gallon of fresh/raw milk for the week!


Yes, We know the cows that our milk comes from :)
