Today is the first day of not only a new year, but a new decade. Wow. Where has all the time gone? It really got me thinking today that this year there is so much going on! Lots of new babies, two big weddings and lots more of life's little adventures to be had. I feel so blessed and thnakful to get to be so busy this upcoming year!
In a few short weeks Ross and I will be welcoming our new baby boy into our family, watching his youngest brother get married in a month AND watching his oldest brother get married this spring and welcoming a new neice or nephew in the summer! There will be so much to give thanks for this up and coming year. We also get to go to the Krug Family reunion in August in Leavenworth! Seems pretty fitting I think, since most of the family is of German heritage and Leavenworth is a German themed city.
Today has been a great day to also sit back and reflect on the past year. Ross and I have been through a lot with each other and with our families and came out of it all stronger and closer and having a better, not the greatest, but definitely a much better understanding of each other personally and as husband and wife. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He drives me crazy but he has been a huge support for me when I needed to lean on him, a great listener when I needed to just let everything out that was bottled up and extremely understanding and forgiving.
I didn't really make any resolutions for the new year. But I guess if I had to, it would be to take the things certain people say with a grain of salt and to always consider the source before believing it to be the truth or a lie.
I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's Eve and Day and wish you all Health, Wealth and Happiness always.

It's Been A LONG Time...
It's been almost a whole year since I last blogged. I even forgot my email and password for our old blog! So I made a new one. Wow, so much has happened in the past year. I don't know where to even start.
In February 2009 Ross, Eliana and I moved AGAIN, but this time to the main family farm house. This was our last move thankfully. I was so excited to move into this house! This house has been in the family for over a hundred years and we are the 5th generation of Krugs to live in it! It has been so much fun setting things up and learning a lot of the history that goes with the family, house and farm.
In March, we celebrated my 22nd birthday with family and friends over for a BBQ and drinks. Nothing too spectacular. It was nice just to sit around and enjoy everyone's company in the comfort of our own home.
In April, we made our annual trip to Seattle for Supercross! As always, we had a blast! We went with our good friends Cory and Andrea and Ross's brother Keelan and his girlfriend Julie. Nothing else too exciting going on this month.
In May, Ross was back to being pretty busy on the farm getting ready for grass and wheat harvest. I finally got to go to the waterpark in Moses Lake! Eliana and I went with Andrea, Melissa and Eliana's "boyfriend" Dustin. The kids had a great time and it was nice to hang out in the beautiful weather with some great friends. We also took Eliana on her first REAL camping trip in the woods! We went to the Tucannon with our friends Cory and Andrea and all our dogs. It rained, but we still made the best of it!
In June, We found out we were expecting again! We had been trying since December 2008 and were so excited when it finally happend! We also celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary! It was almost hard to believe that it had already been that long! Ross was back into full swing with harvest and starting to swath all the grass fields. Not my favorite part of the season, but we made it through.
In July, my youngest sister, Anayely celebrated her 18th birthday. Eliana and I went to Toppenish for her party. It was so much fun! I got to met more and more cousins and aunts and uncles! It was a little overwhelming at times but it was a great day. Ross was back to working daytime hours instead nights, which was a blessing all in its own. He's always so cranky during nightshift hours.
August was so much a blur I can't even really remembered what all happend! Ross was finishing up harvest and Eliana and I were holding down the fort at home. Oh, and we finally got new sod for the nasty dirt space in the back yard!
In September we celebrated Eliana's 3rd birthday. It still seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. We had such a great turnout of family and friends for her party. She is so blessed to have so a big family. We also had the announcement that Ross's youngest brother Randy and his girlfriend, Rachael, were engaged and planning a wedding in February!
October marked the beginning of fishing and hunting seasons. Always a favorite time of year around our house. Ross didn't have much luck fishing this year but got a fairly large buck for deer season! Again, no luck up at Elk Camp. We're still hoping one year he'll get that elk! This month we also got another pretty big family announcement, Ross's brother Randy and his girlfriend were not only getting married but they found out they were expecting a baby as well!
November was packed full of fun fall adventures for our family and holidays! We celebrated our neice Hailey's 3rd birthday with a party in the park. We then took a trip with my parents, my sister, brother-in-law and neice to Seattle to go to the zoo and aquarium. The girls had a BLAST!! It was so much fun seeing all the animals and seeing their faces seeing almost all these huge animals for the first time. The aquarium proved to be lots of fun also, especially for Eliana. She LOVES fish! She loves to watch them in her fish tank at home so to see this HUGE tanks at the aquarium was a whole new excitement for her. This month we also found out that we were expecting a baby boy! I secretly wanted another girl, Ross wanted a boy, but in the end, all we wanted was a healthy baby. I also made it to another movie midnight showing, this time for NEW MOON!!! I loved the Twilight Series and I loved Twilight the movie. So I braved the cold with a few friends and LOVED every minute of this movie. I even cried! I then went to go see two more times the next day.
Now, finally to December. It's still the beginning of the month, so there's still lots to happen! We had our annual Harvest Party at the farm and had a rowdy good time as always. Went to bed way too late but it was worth it. Eliana is growing like a weed and she needs to stop it! She's almost a head taller then our friends Carl and Melissa's son, Dustin who is 3 months older then her! AND, she's as tall as our friends Dayna and Eddie's son, Hunter who is 3 YEARS older then her! She's probably going to be really tall like Ross's aunts Nikki and Casey who are both over 6 feet tall.
Wow, that was more to catch up on then I realized! I promise to try and be better about keeping this blog more up to date!
