oh the memories of 2008

2008 has been an exciting year for our little family! 
i am sure it will seem like that is the case for every year for the next 60 years!
i am so grateful for the blessings we have had this year and all the answers to prayers we have received!
we have had a lot of opportunity to grow and have been so lucky to have such awesome family and friends to surround us! 
i am excited to see what changes will come in 2009:
grad school?
undergraduate school?
a house?
a move?
a career?
a baby? (just kidding!)
anywho...here is a recap of 2008! (in no particular order...)


probably the funnest thing we did all year was celebrate our 1 year anniversary!
we took a cruise to the west caribbean! (we honeymooned in jackson hole so i thought it was 
fair!)
we had so much fun in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, on the ship, the Grand Cayman Islands and in Cozumel Mexico! We snorkled and sunbathed and kayaked and ate...lots! we went to shows and gambled and danced and lounged! it was the best vacation/anniversary ever! and i can't wait to go again sometime! (soon...please!)

We cheered on our cougars at our annual BYU game! its a fun tradition even if we never get good seats, atleast they are free!  I hope kevin & kyle enjoy it too!

we spent a week or so up at flaming gorge with our family. it was so beautiful and fun! we fished and hiked and played games. and obviously didn't wear make up or do our hair! (ryan never wears make up just to clarify!)
ryan bagged the biggest buck of his hunting career during the mussel load hunt. he got the beauty at 270 yards, which for those of you unfamiliar is almost impossible. he did his own european mount and it looks incredible (in his hunting/fishing room...)
this year we became an aunt and uncle for the very first time! we have the sweetest nephew, Zak and we love him so much, our only complaint is he lives so far away!



we spent the summer hiking ogden's beautiful mountains and enjoying the breathtaking views from the top. i may have slowed ryan down but he didn't complain! 

ryan graduated from Weber State in the spring with his bachelors in
microbiology. he is currently preparing to apply for grad school.
we had so much fun celebrating with family! thanks again to mom & dad for 
coming out to support us! 

i hope you all have the best new years! and good luck with those resolutions!
