Hello, 2012!

I want to thank Facebook for keeping me from blogging. I've been warned by Dev that I am to keep it up. On my last post we had experienced our first Oktoberfest and I was about to turn 40. Now, we've just finished up another holiday season and have rung in the New Year. Dev is here for another seven days, we've been to the Czech Republic, sent off a few college applications for Drake, Shane is still in a Master's Degree Program, I'm still working at the bank, we have a group of friends we love, Shane's a little grayer, Dev's a little lighter, Drake thinks he's 21 and please no laughing at our Charlie Brown tree. It was slim pickin's this year.  I'll be back more often, I hope!
