Well, it is late and I can't sleep. I have been thinking a lot about the past year and how what a ride it has been. It seems like something big has happened every month, some good and some not so good...but really, mostly good.
January--Our gym opens up and we love it and still do.
February--I go to Virginia with Chris to see Hollie and had the best time ever!!!
March--Start to potty train John (just for the record, potty training two boys, at the same time, is pretty much is the worst thing I have ever experienced, in my life, I am not even kidding.)
April--Run our first 1/2 marathon in Salt Lake City. Poor Gary got a stress fracture in his foot the week before and had to ride his bike. (Drive by visit from Sandi...it was amazing!!!)
May--Gary gets laid off from an Oracle buy out.
June--Gary gets a job two weeks later by some kind of miracle...phew!
July--Hollie and Ryan move to Colorado. YAY!
August--The kids switch to a charter school and are not so happy about it.
September--We run the Aspen 1/2 marathon. It was amazing. (Got a visit from the fabulous Kristin..after like years and years of separation)
October--The kids and I take a trip with Hollie and Mckenzie to St. Louis. We take a side trip to Nauvoo and have an absolute blast reliving old "City of Joseph" memories.
November-- I reconnect with a bunch of old friends, get a visit from JaNeal and love every minute of it.
December--Survived.... which, you know, is huge!!!
Really, this has been a great year. Looking back it has felt like it has been hard, but when I see all that we have accomplished it was well worth all the struggles and hard work. We have been blessed by great experiences, great friends and awesome family. I am so grateful for all of it, even the struggles (especially when they could have been a lot worse). Here's to 2009!!

Kellie, I can't believe you don't remember when I moved here. I moved into your place on JUNE 13th. NOT IN JULY. In July however, Hollie threw up a little in her mouth when she saw how small our apartment was and how much we were paying for it!
