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
