Puerto Rico- Here We Come

We booked our trip to Puerto Rico! We are going over the week of Thanksgiving. If any of you have ever been there, please, fill us in on the spots you enjoyed the most. We are definitely kayaking on the bioluminiscent lake, and I will be paddling out into some rediculous barrells at Tres Palmas and Hollows. If there are any more must see/must visit/must surf spots, please let us know. For all of you that dont get to go with us this time, we will post pictures of everything. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

A Series of Misfortunate Events

So, this year has been really weird with Holly and I continuously getting hurt. It started in January/February when Holly dislocated her knee while she was bowling of all things. Then last month I pulled a muscle in my back when I slipped at one of my property inspections (out for a week) then yesterday, Holly was rear ended on the 22 Freeway. She was completely stopped and a big truck hit her at 40+ mph. Thank goodness she is not in the hospital, but she did hurt her back and neck. Needless to say, our 9 month old corolla is totaled. Thank you to all of our family and friends that have called and said prayers for her. She is a very tough girl and didnt want to let her company down, so she is back to work already. I will post some pictures of car soon.

2008 Update

Okay, due to popular demand, we are actually going to attempt to keep our blog updated. I imagine it will mostly consist of my thoughts since Holly doesnt like to talk about herself. Maybe with a little encouragement, she will (hint, hint) Anyways, 2008 has been busy, busy. Holly is working full time as an auditor for the worlds largest tax firm, Deloitte and Touche, and studying at night and on weekends for her CPA exams. She is very busy and impressive to watch, ive never known anyone so diligent in their studies and completing personal goals.
I am still working full time for as an HOA Property Manager, and I am finishing my degree in Business Management up at Long Beach State. I too am excited to have some kids.

This year has been fun and busy. We started it off in Utah for Christmas and New Years with Holly's family and her mom's extended family. It was great, we had a huge 7 bedroom cabin in Sundance and got in lots of great snowboarding. The Fall was a blur for me as I was in school every night after work and Holly had her first busy season (working 12-14 hour work days) In May, Holly went with her Mom, Aunt and Cousin to Europe for 3 weeks. It was a great oppurtunity for her and her Mom, and they had a blast. She went to Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Prague and Amsterdam. WOW!

When she got back we went to Mexico (Baja) for nice extended weekend with our good friends, the Hadleys and the Lamberts. Later in June we went to Arizona for a wedding, house/babysat in Dana Point and I went to Beau's for a little Oyler reunion and golf tournament, where we also got to do the temple work for our late childhood friend, David Spielfogel. It was an amazing oppurtunity full of love and enlightenment.

The Oyler Clan came down to our neck of the woods for the 4th of July and we got to see a lot of our favorite nephew, Luke the Duke. Probably the most encouraging factor in my wanting to have kids. He is awesome.

At the end of July, Holly had to leave again to go to training in Arizona for a week (bummer) neither of us liked that one bit.

That pretty much brings us up to date. We are over all doing great, and we are excited to be contributing to the blog community after years of poaching on our family and friend's blogs.

Drop us a line and keep us posted as you visit our page.

Love,

Abe & Holly
