iPhone saves the day... or the 6 months.

I wanted to update because my life seems to be routine again. And I'm starting to feel the itch to share all that is going on. I will not make any promises of routine updates but I am going to promise that I will be doing another update this week. There is too much to put in just one post. So much has happened in the past HALF A YEAR (I'm the worst blogger, ever.) but thankfully my trusty iPhone has been by my side the entire way. I figured iPhone pics would be the best way to showcase all that has happened because, like I said, it has been in my hand the past 6 months straight. I will also post links to Facebook for pictures of events taken with an actual camera. If you're looking for beautifully taken photographs, you're in the wrong place. But it has been an eventful time in our lives. If you are my dad or Scott's mom or any of our friends or grandparents. You'll love this post.

So, if you have some time to spare feel free to sit down and catch up on all that has happened with The Gilchrist's in the past 6 months.

1.15.11 Our new house is complete and decorated! And we're moving again in a month... Don't worry, we'll still be at Pendleton, we're just going up the street to the neighborhood with backyards.

2.17.11 My parent's came to visit! My dad has been dying for me to do a post about their time here. But, here's the deal: DAD, YOU TOOK ALL THE PICS! I don't have many. Only these few iPhone ones. I'm sorry, Dad! I love you. While they were here we went to Coldstone twice (maybe 3 times)! Yum.
