Doing Time for Committing the Crime
Brody was caught drawing on the wall with crayon. Before he was allowed to play in the water he was given a scrubbing pad and some cleaner and cleaned the wall. Hopefully he learned his lesson!

Farwell 2008, Welcome 2009
I must admit 2008 has been a great year for us.
We rang in 2008 celebrating with a small party filled with friends and family. We had a great time playing rock band, talking about out times and making new memories. The best part was the balloon drop. Great job Chris.
A few days later Mike and I celebrated my birthday with the sweetest-nervous prospal ever. Of course I said YES! Patty and Morgan came to visit and did a great job keeping my birthday present a complete suprise. I thought I was getting Uggs. The month was filled with much needed practice snowboarding trips for Sarah and I. Later that month school started back up for both Brody and I.
In February Sarah, Tom, Mike and I spent a well deserved vacation in Mammoth. It was wonderful despite the kicked in door and the police. I will never forget how drunk Mike got in the matter of minutes and got lost in the resort. I will also never forget Tom angirly kicking in the room door. I will always cherish the uplifting words from the front desk about our slum lord. The snowboard was wonderful the views were fantastic and I would do it over and over again a million times.
March was the start of a lull, but still just as wonderful. The big even of the month was Sarah and Tom's St. Patrick's Day party. It was fun wearing green and eating everything green and Irish.
April had to be uneventful because I don't really remember anything that we did this month. But I am sure whatever it was, was fun?!?!
May was the end of school. YIPPIE! Many would have thought I would have taken the summer off but I decided it was time to be a work horse. After meeting with my counsler she advised me that I could possibly graduate/kill myself by taking a whole lot of classes in a small amount of time. So I did just that.
June was Brody's birthday celebration. We celebrated with a water slide, swimming pool, and misters. Later that evening there was a water balloon fight and margaritas for all. I was still in school at this time so althought I had a lot of fun, later that night I had to work on my final paper.
July started personal training and bootcamp followed by two summer school classes. We celebrated the 4th of July with family and friends and we had a great time enjoying you all.
By the time August rolled around and I did over a month and a half of personal training and bootcamp and could see definition in my body was extremly upset that I wasn't losing any weight. Thanks to Joyce who convinced me it wasn't because I didn't exercise enough but was completely convinced I was pregnant. I immediately made a doctors appointment. Sure enough, I was! At the end of the month Mike and Brody headed off to Jim's wedding.
September seemed to come and go pretty quickly. Regular semester classes started and I was only in school for two days before I headed off with Jim and Grandma B to Nebraska. I was just trying to keep it together with all the morning sickness I was experiencing. Also because the news was so new and from past experience we decided we wouldn't say a word till the 3rd month. The wedding was beautiful, Congratualtion Jim and Jamie. The Monday back was extremly busy since life went back full swing.
October Mike and I started thinking of Halloween costumes and made plans on how we were going to make them. Of course last minute always seems to be our style around here. In the end the costumes got rave reviews.
November was the light at the end of the tunnel. Morning sickeness was starting to subside. The end of school was growing closer along with the size of my belly and I was looking forward to Thanksgiving.
December however was the best month of them all. I GRADUATED! Seriously this is quite an accomplishment for me. It took me ten years to get to this point, many tears shed and tons of encourgagement from friends and family. I don't know if it would have all been possible without Mike and Brody and those cheering me on and psyching me up for my speeches and presentations this semester. A week after graduation I purchased a book for the GMAT. What can I say I love learning. Christmas was nerve busting. I didn't know how I was going to put it all together. Somehow it went off without a hitch. Mike, Brody and I took off the next day to a much needed vacation in Las Vegas. We took in a show and shopping. It was perfect.
We all are looking foward to all the joys 2009 brings. Mike and I can't wait for Max to get here. Brody is still completley confused.
