Wow! It is hard to believe that it is 2009...
2008 was a wonderful year for our family, we celebrated birthdays...especially that of our little niece Mari, and our one year anniversary.
We went to Utah to visit Jim's daughter and family...it was absolutely beautiful in Provo, I wouldn't mind living there myself. Jeni, Alan, Emma, Landon, and Lily are a wonderful family, and we are so proud of Alan who graduated from BYU Law school and recently passed the bar. This wonderful little family has now moved to Indiana and are doing very well.
I changed jobs in Sept. 08, teaching at a middle school which I love...however in November I was made intinerant and now cover two schools, my middle school and an elementary school in downtown Sacramento. On a daily basis I am now teaching K-8th grade....
Shane has moved back to the Sacramento area, and will soon be back in college pursuing his degree in Criminal Justice, while Megan is attending Cosumnes River to obtain a degree in Business. Trisha is busy helping with her father and step-mom, while continuing her own eduction into health, being vegan, and the paranormal. Amy is preparing to graduate from high school, and will probably reach her goal by March. She also recently just secured a job at the local Circuit City!
We celebrated Christmas with the whole family at my Mom and Dad's in Jackson, and we were lucky to have all four kids here for Christmas Day, and enjoyed having the whole gang together.
Santa brought Jim and I a Wii, so we have been bowling, golfing, and playing tennis to our hearts content.
Jim, Amy and I enjoyed few games of bowling in Sacramento during the break...we hope to go bowling with my sister, Suzi, her husband and beautiful Mari soon.
Jim and I hope to be going to the Temple later this year to be sealed.....we are both very happy and excited about the new year.
