My Life in 2008

In April I finished Ken & I finished Winter semester. Then I started summer term with an internship class, and Ken was off to Virginia to work for his dad over the summer. It was hard to be away from each other for so long. We did make several trips back and forth though.

May

Alex's Baptism. This might have been late April, I don't remember the exact date
I was on some serious muscle relaxers to get my IUD. I have very little memory of this ride, or of taking this picture. It's a good thing Jeanine drove me home.

Trip to Ohio


I think Ohio is beautiful in the Summer time. So green! This is Ken's backyard
My favorite spot on the tramp, under a great big tree

Playing Rock band with Regan. I went to see the gateway with Karen, Linda, and Andrew. We saw the fountains, the U2 laser show, and Karen taught me how to solve a rubiks cube.



I went to classic skating with the Gardiners. Afterwards I brought Kierra & Kassidy home for a slumber party. I made them fettucini alfredo (They kept saying "This is GOOD!"), hot chocolate, popcorn, and we watched cartoons.


June
I went on what wound up being an extended trip to see Ken. I met him in Richmond, Virginia. We went while he went to work I went to see Monticello with Patrick and Ellie. (My brother and mother-in-law). The next day we all went to Washington, DC where I saw the Holocaust museum (sad), the white house, Washington monument hope diamond, and the international spy museum. It was pretty cool. I was supposed to go home, but I bought my ticket for the wrong date so I had to stay for another week. It was nice to be with my hubby though. So I hung out with Poobah (Father-in-law) and Ken for a week and we went to Ohio again, back to Virginia, and I finally came home.

Right before I left (literally right before, Jeanine was going to take me to the airport and we had to change plans) Kierra was rushed to the hospital. After a while they discovered her appendix had burst and she had to go through surgery. I was sad that I couldn't be there to see her. This is her in the hospital, and also later when I finally came home, she still had her pick line in.



I went to Lagoon with the Gardiners



July- I went to San Francisco to be a volunteer for the Smart Marriages conference. While there I stayed with Matt, Wendy, & Austin, and visited with Karen & Andrew McNabb. Andrew was interning at Google for the summer and we went to dinner there and I love Google! hooray!

I finally decided to hike the Y. Trevin and I tackled the mountain.


I met Ken in Florida. We went to Universal Studios, Orlando with his sister Miriam and her husband Evan. We all had a blast together. Miriam is my new buddy.




Girl's Week!!! I went to Valyn's with Grandma, Mom, Valyn, Jeanine, Wendy, and the kids. We had a blast playing games, going to the spa, seeing Mamma Mia, and going to the temple. What a fun (and highly silly) time.






August- I finally got my husband back!!! Ken came home for about two days before we left to Arizona for the week to be with my family. We had a nice relaxing vacation.

For the rest of August Ken & I finally got to relax. We hung out with friends.

Our date to Thanksgiving point with Karen, Andrew, and Linda



Our trip to Cedar City (with Topher and Katy) to see Serino (not sure how to spell that, big nose dude)

Corbin was also born

September- I went to the Hunt Family Reunion. This is me riding the trails.


October- Katy had a James Bond themed Birthday Party. Ken & I went as Moneypenny & Bond from "The Living Daylights" Hooray Timothy Dalton. This party sparked my determination to watch every Bond film. All I have left is moonraker.




We went to our ward Halloween party (we are on the activities commitee). I won the donut eating contest. For Halloween we went to Jeanine's and took the little girls trick-or-treating. Kourtney made the cutest Princess Leia ever!
