New Family Tradition

Troy and I celebrated our one year anniversary last week! I can't believe it's already been a year since the accident, the move, the marriage...oh, how time flies!!

We have been getting settled into our new house in Las Vegas, and I truly have felt SO BLESSED lately! We both have fantastic jobs, we have a great house with lovely things that keep us comfortable, we are more in love today than we were when we first fell in love! I have a great husband who is so talented and such a good provider - both financially and emotionally! We both have recently formed new friendships and improved existing ones. Troy started a band with a guy named Derek whom he has become great friends with! I have formed a great friendship with Joy, my boss's daughter and my co-worker Mi Ann! Nearly a year after moving here, it really feels like this is where we belong.

Troy and I started a new family tradition this weekend. While on vacation, Victor and Amanda (my brother and soon to be sister-in-law) taught us a dice game called Farkle. It is so fun and so addicting! (Comment or call me for the instructions.) Troy and I played last night after dinner while watching conference re-runs on BYUTV. It was a great night! We decided to make it a regular Sunday event!

Making Sense of Our Blogs...

Okay, so we have been trying to manage three blogs, and it's getting a bit confusing. So, this is how it will work from now on:

This blog: http://www.storyofkimandtroy.blogspot.com/ will be our family blog. You can check here for updates on the Morgan Duo - things that we do together, vacations, our new home, our kitty babies, our work endeavors...anything having to do with our family.

Kim's personal blog: http://www.finding-kimberly.blogspot.com/ will be her place for personal thoughts and insights and her favorite things.

Troy's music blog: http://www.troytodayguitar.com/ will be his place for writing about his recent music happenings, his band, his personal insights and favorite things.

Ok...that should about do it. :) Check in often for update!! Much love...

The Duo

Finally Moved In!!!!

There is lots to tell about, since I am slow at blogging. It seems that I blog every day for a week, and then drop off for a month. So, since it has been a month, there will be a few posts of things to update on.

First...we are moved into our new house!!! It is so fantastic!!! There seems to be the perfect amount of space, the perfect layout for everything that we need. When we were out house shopping, this was Troy's favorite. This specific house hadn't been built yet, but he liked the rug in the model, so he was sold (even though the rug wasn't included in the deal.) :) I was torn between this and a couple others, but went with this one for two reasons: it was Troy's favorite, and there were three walk-in closets, one in the guest room (now the music room) and two in the master.

We had a crazy week of moving, got everything unpacked, decorations hung - all in two days!!! We then left for vacation in AL/MS/FL. We did a housing swap with these really cool people in Florida, who stayed in our house for a week, so we were both excited to come back home from vacation to enjoy our new house.

It has been a great week! We are almost COMPLETELY unpacked! :) We have turned one guest room into Troy's music room (with a fold out couch in there for guests), we turned the walk-in closet in that room into an office. The smaller walk-in in the master has been turned into my craft room. I LOVE IT!! I can go in there, turn on my Ipod, close the door, and scrapbook or draw or write or whatever...just enjoy some solitude!

So, that's blog number one of the catching up! More to come...
