My First Blog(a bit of our history)

Hi, everyone. I just thought that I would try out this blog thing and see what the big deal with it is. I have seen a few other blog of my family and friends so I figured why not me too. This way I can point people to here when they ask me if I am on myspace.com. I guess that this is somewhat the same. For those who don't know the reason that I chose the title of our blog to be Netherland Norris' is for the very simple fact that we are living in the Netherlands. How do you like that? To give a bit of history on our family. Rick and I met 12 years ago in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was at the time serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He happened to be living in one of my areas. A few months after meeting him I ended up teaching his step mother at the time. I went back to visit in September after I had been home for a couple of months in June. The rest as they say is History. Rick amd I have been married for 11 years this past April 10. We have 3 children Alexander will be 11 on December 31 of this year, he was born in Sandy, Utah. Shania just turned 8 years old on March 15th hopefully will get abptized this July when we go back to visit family in Canada. Shania was born in Raymond, Alberta. then we have Amina. Amina was born In Landstuhl, Germany and will be 3 this coming July 27th. Rick has been a member of the US Army for 6 years and we have lived in Georgia and Germany and are now stationed in the Netherlands. In upcoming posts I will go into further detail on each of those places. We have been in Europe for 41/2 years and we love it. Well that is all for now stay tuned for more news on the Netherland Norris Family and there happenings.
