MISSING IN ACTION

I know we've have been out of touch for awhile...man life has been busy! I feel like I just blinked and now it is almost Christmas! I'm excited to start blogging again.

Here's a little upate-I (Maggie) moved up to live with my parents in Birch Bay the end of October and was up there for just about a month. I wasn't sick of Pete :)-I went up there to do my final nursing rotation in the Child Birth Center. My school allows a certain number of students to do distance learning for the last semester and I chose to do my practicum in Bellingham. I had 12-12 hr shifts and it was amazing. I learned so much and loved every minute of my time with the moms and babies. I am more sure than ever that this is the field of nursing for me. There is no greater joy in the world to me than watching a new innocent life come into this world. I also enjoyed seeing some of my friends and relatives while being back in my home town. It was wonderful to have my mom cooking me some delicious meals and packing my lunches just like old times. ;)

Pete on the other hand was living the bachelor life back in Beaverton. He spent a lot of time at the gym, but did come up to visit me twice -which was great. I came back home mid-November and was only home for a couple days and we took a road trip to LA/San Diego with my parents. We had a fun time visiting Pete's sister Molly in LA and even got to visit her on the Conan O'Brien show where she works. It was a kick seeing her in action. We spent a week in San Diego for Thanksgiving visiting dear family and friends and waiting waiting waiting for our niece to be born. My brother Zach and his wife Laura were expecting their first baby due Dec. 1st. We headed home the night of the 1st wishing we could stay to meet the baby. She was born on Dec. 3rd as beautiful and healthy as ever! Elle Grey Weg. We cannot wait to get back to San Diego to meet her!! More pictures to come soon of this beauty.

So that is pretty much it in a nutshell...the days and weeks are just zooming by. We hope you all are enjoying the Holiday season that is in full swing!

Our Theme Song

"Better Together"

By Jack Johnson

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

[Chorus:]
MMM it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at them stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

Our Favorite Poem

Bits and pieces.

People. People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your life, touch it with love and carelessness and move on. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever came into contact with them. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole. Children leave parents; friends leave friends. Aquaintances move on. People change homes. People grow apart. Enemies hate and move on. Friends love and move on. You think on the many who have moved into your hazy memory. You look on those present and wonder.

I believe in God's master plan in lives. He moves people in and out of each other's lives, and each leaves his mark on the other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you.

Pray God that you accept the bits and pieces in humility and wonder, and never question,

and never regret.

Bits and pieces.
