No, Let Me Sum Up.

Brad and I bought our first home this month! A two-bedroom condo overlooking the water--the perfect place for us (just across the street from our current home!)--and we both feel lucky and smart. But lots of other things have happened this month as well: I traveled to D.C. to visit Rach and Sarah and new baby Erin and had a wonderful time with those Jacksons; Brad had surgery on his nose to improve his breathing; we had a wonderful Christmas and visits with Mike and Sarah and the Jacksons and the Opdahls; I had a mole removed on my brow; Brad got a bright new beautiful cello case; we winterized the jet skis with help from the Opdahls; we were happy to get a little visit from Danielle Andrews; Brad and Dad and Rach and John and I did family sealings in the Seattle temple; we all saw the Nutcracker and visited with our neighborhood ballerina (the star!) to the delight of Lauren and Zane; I got my compensation issues mostly resolved at work, and continued working a few days a week at Amazon; and Brad and I kept up the Foley tradition of having eggrolls on New Year's. O and I biked 2215.1 miles on the Big Sky this year!
