Auld Lang Syne

I have been wanting to do a "year in review" blog post on the last day of 2008, and then tonight when Jason and I were hanging out with our friends, Dan and Jess Hardy, we were talking about the dumb things people blog and twitter about, and how even though they are dumb, other people read about them... I think this post might fit into the category. But Jess said she likes reading stuff like this, so... at least one person might enjoy it!

January
We came back from our fun-filled vacation (cruise to the Bahamas, visiting with family in Tennessee and Utah) to dreary, snowy, windy, yucky old Laramie. Jason had to go back to school and I entered the uber-uncomfortable third trimester.

February
Tempe had her first (and only, so far) asthma attack; we went to Build A Bear to make a teddy bear for "Baby Sister"; Jason bought me a $40 cheesecake for Valentine's Day.

March
Uncomfortable, uncomfortable, uncomfortable... then... PAIN... then Helena Louise Anderson!

April
I tried to get used to caring for two demanding children while getting ready for our move to Utah; Jason tried to prepare for graduation.

May
Jason graduated from Law school!!! We moved to Utah to live with Jason's parents.

June
Bar Prep classes and studying for Jason; bicycling with Tempe and Helena all over Bountiful for me.

July
The girls and I visit Tennessee; Jason finishes up his Bar prep and takes the Bar.

August
Nothing really happened this month.

September
We begin house-hunting this month; Tempe turns two!

October
All kinds of fun activities this month: playing in the leaves, picking out pumpkins, getting ready for Halloween.... We make our first offer on a house this month (it was rejected). Plus, Jason was admitted to the Bar this month!

November
Visit to Tennessee to welcome Tyler home from his mission! We put an offer on our "dream house" this month.

December
Waiting, waiting, waiting.... then... finally! An acceptance! Christmas came one week early for us when our offer on our dream house was finally accepted.

So... that was the watered down version of this year.
