I am still searching for mine. (I guess they are overwhelmed with responses) If you find it let me know.
I am finally getting caught up on everything and I am glad that I am finally able to upload some images from the last week. My little girl Carin celebrated her 11th birthday last Wednesday. We had a little party for her at home.
We are continuing with the packing and starting to look for a condo. Have a couple areas in mind, but we are keeping our options open.
