2008-2009

Jeff and I were sitting in the year's first fast and testimony meeting for our ward and heard many stories that day of trials and difficult situations throughout the year. We both looked at each other and said "sounds like we're the only ones that had an awesome year." And it's true! 2008 was exceptionally wonderful to us, and here are just a few of the reasons why:
We bought a home (just in time!), we bought a car, Jeff got an amazing job with SLCPD, I graduated with a Master's Degree in Recreation Therapy, I got to quit working, we took trips to Florida and Denver, we celebrated our first anniversary and, most amazing, our beautiful Amelie joined our family.
Of course we've had a difficult day here and there, but we truly feel we couldn't be more blessed, especially in times like these. We're grateful for an awesome year, and here's to another great one!

As for the festivities, we hung out at my parent's house with my uncle and his family while they were in town. We went to Chuck-a-rama, then played games, ate SO much food, made a mess and had a good time. Here's the only picture we really have from the night.



What a cutie!
