A few almonds & TONS of chocolate!

If anyone deserves an award for "worst blogger ever", it would definitely be me! After several years of not updating the blog, I'm feeling like I need to catch up on a few things. 

This blog was initially intended as a place for keeping track of the Young Family goings-on, both the "chocolate" (the great and sweet stuff) and the "almonds" (the unexpected craziness and trials that come up in life). So, here are just a few examples of our Life with Almonds these past 2 years...

The most CHOCOLATY parts of the last two years include:

1) Becoming an aunt to 3 wonderful nieces! 

2) Seeing my brother start off on his mission to Morristown, New Jersey

3) Adventuring in Dallas, TX for a job with Southwest Airlines 

4) Getting pregnant (Expecting a boy in August 2014)

5) Graduating from BYU

6) Visiting Italy, enjoying the sites and gelato

7) Moving out to CA for a job with Google

And of course, the ALMONDS amidst the chocolate were hard to munch through, but we survived: 

1) Matthew went into surgery to have a malignant tumor removed--he's been cancer-free for a year now, though!
2) Wendy (our car) got banged up in a rear-ending accident (we got some insurance money and finally bought ourselves a new, used car to replace her)
3) We are spending an arm and a leg on our apartment here in California (but at least the neighborhood and surrounding community is AWESOME!)

Well, now that I've got the blog all up to date....see you in another two years! :)

Just kidding. I'll try to keep on top of it this time.

For now, just enjoy life (both the chocolate AND the almonds).


With love--Heather
