August Family Update

Hello, friends and family! I have recently become quite the insanely avid blogger. Troy and I set up this blogger account right after we were married, and I haven't done much...or anything actually, with it. I have used my personal blog quite often, and decided today to make this one our family blog.



My personal blog will be filled with my own personal thoughts, struggle, and triumphs. Whereas, this one will be a current events report of our lives together.



We are still living and still loving the beautiful Las Vegas! Troy is getting settled at work and smoothing things out quite nicely with co-workers that he butted heads with early on. He works for the 99th Squadron Entomology Group at Nellis Air Force Base. Though, he rarely complains, I imagine this summer has been tough for him. We have had a HOT summer here in the desert, and the majority of his work is outside. However, he is doing well, and loves the base.



I am working for Suzan Hudson and Frank Woodbeck. They are a husband and wife real estate investing team. I have learned so much! This job has been nearly like a paid internship.



Recent events: Troy and I are buying our first house. You can see pictures of it on my blog at http://www.finding-kimberly.blogspot.com/. We also have two new additions to our family: Indie and Polly, two adorable black cats that are as different in personality as Troy and I. Indie is alot like me - very mild mannered, calm, reserved, a bit anti-social at times and quite moody. Polly is a lot like Troy - nutsy hyper, fun-loving, affectionate, and extremely playful! You can also see pictures of them at my blog.



We have nearly survived our first summer here, and are looking forward to fall and winter. We've been able to go to Utah together to visit dear friends of ours, Troy has made a trip to Cali to see his dad and friends there, and I have made a trip to Montana to visit a dear friend of mine. We have been visited by my mom, my sister, Rebecca, my brother, Joel, my adopted family from Utah - the Browns, and Troy's Aunt Maureen, Uncle Neil, Nani, Aunt Martha and Uncle Rick, Dad and Vicky. And we are awaiting many more visits! :)



We love you all! We miss you! Thank you to all of you who have positively influenced our lives! It's incredible to me that two people could be so loved!
