Getting all the Christmas festivities in gets a lot harder when you get married, especially with everyone in different cities, especially when you work in a hospital and are scheduled all of Christmas week. That is why this year we didn't make it to Boise until New Years Eve. It had been an exciting December and we were waiting to share all our news in person. First of all, we bought a new house, which was a little unexpected even to us. We had planned on looking seriously in the spring, but when you find the right one you have to jump on it.
