India

So anyone who has heard, Alan has put his name in with E&Y to move to India for a year and train the Indians in Accounting. We've been waiting to hear whether or not his name would be picked. We still aren't sure when we'd go, but it's looking more and more likely that we will. I'm thinking it's more of a question of when they will send us not if. We could leave as soon as January 2009, or it may not be until July 2009. We'll just have to keep waiting to see. Needless to say, I've been searching the internet to see anything I can find out about India. We'd be located in Bangalore, which is in the Southern tip. The most informing clip I've found so far is a link from You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVL_GcyT7dI I'm not sure if it has made me too excited or not.

I actually am really excited. I think it's going to be a great experience for our family. Our kids were less than thrilled when Alan announced that we might go. Ellie's reaction was to break down into tears and because she did, so did Maddie. Then Alan to try and ease there concerns tried to lookup some pictures on the internet of Bangalore. He found a picture of some kids riding on an elephant and all of the sudden Ellie is fine about moving there. (She is an animal LOVER!!) Then, he found a clip from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where they are all sitting around a table eating and now Ethan is convinced that we are going to have to eat Snake surprise, Big Beetles and Chilled Monkey Brains. I just hope they have Diet Coke :)

Our "WICKED" weekend

Alan and I went to LA this past weekend to see the musical "Wicked" We left our kids at home with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a blast! and I'm sure the kids did too. (Ethan told us to go back because he still wanted to sleep and Grandmas.) While we were there we stayed in The Renaissance Marriott in Hollywood. We didn't realize it when we booked it, but it was right in the middle of everything. If anyone is planning on going, I highly recommend staying there! We didn't get a car, just walked to everything! Kodak Theatre, Mann's Chinese Theatre, and Hollywood Blvd are all right outside the doors to this hotel!

The musical was wonderful! When we got home our kids wanted to know what it was about so Alan started telling it to them and today all they have wanted to do is watch "The Wizard of Oz"

Also while we were there we dicided to take a tour of the Celebrity Homes. We saw where the live and tried a little stocking, ha ha! Of course I forgot to pack our camera so we took some pictures on our phone. I'll have to upload them as soon as I can get them transferred from there.

Ah Haa

OK so I'm not that smart. You just have to click on the add image thingy. Ellie is so excited that she is going to be getting baptized. Yes, I can't believe she is going to be 8 next week!! We went and got her baptism pictures taken the other day and she acted so old. It was so fun to shop with her! She definately had an opinion on the dress that she liked and which ones she didn't. Of course she got my taste, and the one that she loved the best was the most expensive, but you only get baptized once. (Hopefully)

Not sure how to put pics on

Well I tried for awhile and I can't figure out how to put pics on. I'll have to try again later.

Following the Crowd

OK OK so I follow the crowd!! I'm going to try this out and see how it works. I'm not really sure what I'm doing so...here goes a try. I'm just going to put a few pics on for now and I'll have to come back and update later.
