Yes, I know its been a VERY long time since there have been any updates on our blog! There are several reasons for this... I'm still new to the "blogging world" so I'm still figuring out how to arrange things in to that neat little column on the right hand side of the page, and I want to attach my own personal music play-list. Next, We've been in and out of town over a dozen times...not exaggerating! And lastly, which is really the main reason, is because I can't find the USB cable to transfer the hundreds of pictures that have collected on our digital camera, onto our computer. And, because I'm not apt to write long newsy articles about the happenings in our fun little family, which people probably won't read anyway, I'm waiting for the pictures!
I will say this much however... a lot has happened in these short last few months!! Ryan celebrated his first Christmas (owning most of the gifts under the tree, of course) Jared and I had a fun winter, snowboarding retreat in Telluride, CO...I'm not good but had fun anyway. One major change is that Jared and I are moving to Northwest Arkansas this July (: Jared is joining up with a great ENT group and we're excited for our new adventures! And the BIGGEST news is that early in Jan. we found out, Surprise!, we're having another baby due in Sept! Ryan just turned one, had a Big Curious George B-day bash at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Houston...and he is now walking all over the place! Cutest thing I've ever seen!

A "Sweet" Halloween 2008
Celebrating Halloween was SO "Sweet" this year! I have to admit...it's going to be pretty tough to top this year's "costume ensemble." We all dressed up as our favorite characters from the movie Napoleon Dynamite! Talk about hilarious! Amazingly enough, I found some "moon boots" just like the ones Napoleon wore in the movie. Jared pulled it off like a champ! Of course, I was "Deb"...complete with a pink fanny pack! It took a little searching, but I managed to come up with those stirrup stretch pants she wears! Ryan was the biggest hit of all as Pedro. We put together a Vote for Pedro shirt and drew a mustache on him with my eye liner...worked like a charm. We had a total blast! Ryan even went "trick or treating" for the first time. Of course, he had a little orange pumpkin bucket exactly like the one I had when I was a kid (:

Ryan Jared Spencer, 8lbs 4oz, 22 1/2 inches
We welcomed Ryan into our family Feb. 5, 08. As you can tell, he's been a happy baby from the very beginning.
It all started....
It all started when Jared and I met in Rochester, NY during the late summer of 2001. He was beginning a 5-year Ear, Nose, and Throat Residency, and I was serving as a full-time missionary for our church. Jared met my identical twin sister while living in Seattle. It was quite a surprise for both of us when our paths crossed in Rochester. Some things are just meant to be!
It wasn't until 4 1/2 years later that I randomly sent Jared an email, we instantly "hit it off", started dating (long distance nonetheless), got engaged, and were married on Oct. 21, 2006. All within 9 months! Yeah, it all happened pretty fast, but we both knew this was a true miracle straight from heaven.
Our first year of marriage was spent in Northern California as Jared completed a one year fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery. Meanwhile, I worked as a Recreation Therapist at Stanford Children's Hospital.
Seven months into our marriage, we found out some rather exciting news....yep, I was pregnant! We couldn't have been more excited! Although we loved our time in the Bay Area, Jared accepted a job with a private Ear, Nose, and Throat group in Tucson, AZ. For now we're having great experiences and enjoying desert living!
Our new little bundle, Ryan Jared Spencer, arrived Feb. 5, 2008. He has brought nothing by joy to our family, and we just love having him with us!!
