First half of the year

So I have completely fallen off the blogging wagon. I think things have slowed down enough to where I can blog every now and then. :-) My last was around Christmas time and I would have to say a lot has happened since then. We've celebrated our one year anniversary, moved, vacationed, and I have switched jobs. I am now running the front desk of our new community center. It is a brand new facility so things were very hectic at first, but I believe we are beginning to smooth out all the rough edges. Bobby's job is going great (insurance agent with brand and britt insurance agency). He also coaches baseball and does lessons on the side. It's great to see these kid's improve so much when they work with bobby! We are now searching for our first home to purchase. Bobby and I have just bid on our 4th house. We have not been so successful with the past three. Our prayer is that we find the house that God has intended us to find and that we do not settle! We have also added a new member to the katzman duo....a new baby miniature daschund! His name is wrigley (yes like the gum and the cub's baseball field).

This is bobby's first puppy! It has been an experience. Travis (my brother) also got a new puppy...wrigley's brother. His name is johnson. They are inseparable! Travis, bobby, and myself are all living at Dad and mom's for the moment (while searching for houses). Dad and mom do most of the work with the dogs :-) (Many many thanks to them for that!!!!!!)

My new "obsession" is running! I've run two 5k's so far and I have one in august and one in September. I'm fortunate enough to have my roomate from college (crystal) run with me in my races! My future goal is to compete in triathlons. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I guess we will see! :-) I don't think crystal was so excited about the triathlons...haha. Bobby's new "obsession" is basketball! He plays almost every day...if not twice a day! He's gotten pretty good! ;-) I think he can dunk now...haha

Bobby and I went to a horse ranch in Madison for our 1 year anniversary! I can't believe it's already been one year! TIME FLYS!!! Our goal (probably more so mine than Bobby's) is to do something every anniversary that we have never done before. Bobby has never ridden a horse before...so that's what we did! We went to the ranch for the day...rode for about two hours and ate a wonderful lunch there. Bobby did great...his horse was lola (the fatest horse on the ranch) and mine was sparky (very temperamental). They ate the whole ride! It was a great experience!
We've gotten to see Bobby's family a lot over the summer. David (bobby's brother) has been playing baseball a lot in the Atlanta area. That has been a blessing! We have also been getting ready for wedding season! Our friends Dean and crystal, Greg and Kelly and my sister Mandy and her fiance Lanis are all getting married within 1 month!! Bobby is in 2 of them and I am in 2 of them! It's coming up quick! We are super excited to see all of them so happy! Other than that we are just living life! Hopefully my next blog will be pictures of our new house! Keep praying!
