Happy New Year

This year New Year's Eve was somewhat of a flop- but I was actually okay with it. Russell had to work his usual shift and so I was left on my own. I had to work that day, but after work I met up with my family at Red Robin for a yummy dinner. We had a good time visiting and trying to entertain the kids.

*Missy, Jerome & Carter*

*Pants are optional, a coat is a must!*

After a fun dinner I headed home. I didn't really feel like doing anything so I stopped and got me a movie at Red Box and just went home and chilled. It was kind of nice to do nothing! I watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2- and it was a little weird. I didn't like it as well as the first one. I tried really hard to stay awake for when Russell got home but I just couldn't do it- and I was fast asleep by 11. Yes- I'm a party pooper! On New Year's Day, Russell and I just relaxed at home and didn't do a whole lot. It was nice to just chill at home together.

Here are some highlights from 2008:

*Celebrating our 2nd anniversary

*Making some major updates to our house

*"The boys" turning one and destroying our poor house

*Two 4-wheeling trips to Marysvale

*A visit from the in-laws

*A trip to Bear Lake

*A fishing trip for Russell and a near death experience with a large moose

*Purchasing a "new" boat and a couple of snowmobiles

*Russell finishing school with a certificate in small engine repair

*A new, better job for Linsey (with less of a drive)

*A "new" truck for Russell

*New challenging church callings for both of us

We had a fun year with lots of great times and some tough times too- but we have learned a lot! Here's to a great 2009!
