Hey! How’s it going?
We know… it has been MONTHS (five to be exact) since a post has been added to this blog. Frankly, we’re just so freakin’ busy that we’ve neglected this little corner of the interwebs. However, we are going to make a concerted effort to actually post again. With that we introduce the new “what the hell happened to the Haugens last month” format.
Starting with… April!
JoAnna
· Upon coming home from the Cook Islands, Jo was ready to take the plunge and get her first tattoo. She was very brave and has a beautiful piece of art on her shoulder. Learn more about the reason behind the tattoo here (be sure to read all the captions and look at all the pictures).
· Jo continues to write like crazy. She is working on everything from blogs to books (Go to your local book store and pick up the Idiot’s Guide to Barefoot Running, she has a mention in the acknowledgements).
Cory
· Successfully produced his first high school play. Survived.
· Spent a large chunk of April planning Prom. Survival yet to be determined.
Around Vegas
· We went to see the Jabbawockeez perform. I think we were both a bit hesitant about the quality of the show, but were both pleasantly surprised at the showmanship and artistry.
· We also saw V: The Ultimate Variety Show… this one was… not so good.
· Over Spring Break we went out to Primm and spent an evening goofing around on the roller coasters and at the outlet mall. We bought Star Wars pancake molds. So all in all, a total success.
· We also bought a new car! A Barcelona Red (you can’t make these color names up… I swear) 2011 Toyota Rav4… we call it the RavBerry.
Kittens
We had a long succession of foster kitties go in and out of the house in April, so many that I am only going to post the names of the babies and direct you to the Facebook page that Jo runs for the organization through which we foster. And the kitties were:
- Emmy and Jewel
- Benjamin (who was adopted), Sage and Monkey (who is still with us until Thursday).
- Hallie, Oscar (so named because he is a grouch) and Melissa. All three of which are still with us as well.
*Please note that Oscar is the only one we named.
OK… we promise to do better and post about May the first week or so of June.
Welcome back!
Cory
