Happy Three Kings Day!

1 January 2009, Thursday

Welcome to 2009! Just like last year I started the year off at a run. Of course this year I didn't have to bundle up before going. I also wasn't alone on my run this year. And I wasn't packing before and after the run this year either.

I've put together a composite image for 2008 with a different picture for each month of something I did that month.

January - moving to Tucson; February - teaching college; March & April - living in the desert; May - Brett graduates with his Masters; June - ward camping trip at the lake; July - running the Deseret News Marathon; August - 30th birthday party; September - meeting my nephew; October - Halloween; November - voting; December - Christmas

I'm continuing to set goals for myself each year. I wrote about how I did last year on my blog. Let's see if I can do better this year.

30 December 2008, Tuesday

I'm back from a wonderful Christmas at my parents' in Indiana and I have a LOT of pictures.

Happy Birthday Melissa!

Happy Birthday Brett!

20 December 2008, Saturday

I was able to see the lights at two different temples this year. I definitely have my preference between the two. But the ones in Mesa were nice as well. I really liked the flower lights.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Grandpa turned 95 today and we had a big party for him up in Utah. I have uploaded some pictures from the party.

6 December 2008, Saturday

I love my annual Christmas party, for a lot of reasons. I put up pictures from the party and what my place looks like decorated already (look at me be on top of things!). Enjoy!

They put up the "Ice Forms on Bridge First" signs yesterday. I'll let you know if I see any ice before they take them down again.

The month of November is in the archives.
