Here’s what you missed:

We were sworn in.

Our first Christmas

We bought a house.  It was a short sale.  It took 76 days from offer to close.  It was the first house we looked at.

We traveled to the Buffalo, NY area for the wedding of Chris and Lauren.  We took in some church history sites while there.

The Joseph Smith family log house

Palmyra Temple

Their wedding, in Lockport, NY, was beautiful.  It was followed by a great reception in Depew, NY.

A Christmas Story house

The internet told us it was the best $8 you could spend in Cleveland.  The internet also told us that the main export of Cleveland is crippling depression.  The house was closed for tours so we just took a picture.  We saw the leg lamp.  While in Cleveland we stopped at a tourist gift shop.  The cashier asked if we were 1) passing through or 2) there on an extended layover.  Noticeably absent from her list of possible reasons for visiting Cleveland: we came intentionally to stay.
