So I was looking at someone's blog, and saw the coolest thing! She had a run down of the special things that happened during each month of the year, and I decided to take her idea, so here goes:
March: We got to pick out the options for our house, but chose to only upgrade the appliances and electrical package through the builder. My best friend, Angela, got married this month as well, and I got to be the Matron of Honor. She looked beautiful and I was happy to be there to support her..JPG)
October: Rick celebrated his 30th birthday on the 5th! I threw him a suprise birthday, and he was suprised! The day was stressful, and I thought my secret was going to be given away a couple of times, but everything came together and we had a good time. I gave my lovely hubs a PS3 for his bday present, and to this day, it is used mainly as a DVD player. Oh well. I'm thankful he isn't a game junkie.
January: I started my first semester of college! It was fun, and I got hooked! Rick was stressed with his crazy work schedule and regretting becoming a dentist. We also bought our first dog ever, and named her Izzy.
February: We put down money on our first house. This was very exciting and with only four months till the house was scheduled to be finished, we were counting down to getting out apartments FOREVER! We also celebrated our 7th anniversary, which we thought was a pretty cool thing!
March: We got to pick out the options for our house, but chose to only upgrade the appliances and electrical package through the builder. My best friend, Angela, got married this month as well, and I got to be the Matron of Honor. She looked beautiful and I was happy to be there to support her.
April: Man, we must be boring. Still can't remember anything interesting happening. Oh, wait, this doesn't have to do with me, but Angela (see above) called me at six in the AM to tell me she was pregnant! What am I thinking? We bought our 2nd puppy, Lola, and had fun times potty training, again.
May: Rick and I went back to the Bay for the the first time since he graduated dental school. We ate at our favorite pizza joint, Pizz'a Chicago, and spent some time down in San Diego as well. It was good to be back in Cali, and solidified our desire to end up there. Rick also got a new job complete with a better schedule of Tuesday through Friday. I can't tell you how much I love having him home with me three days a week!
June: I turned 26! Also took a 6 week math class. Nuff said.
July: Celebrated 4th of July with friends at the Ritz-Carlton pool. That isn't really so exciting, but unfortunately, that was the extent of our coolness for the month.
August: My family came to visit us, and my sister, Bonny, stayed behind and hung out with me for a week or so. I had fun with her, and she gained a new appreciation for her dog nephews. Lola, who gets carsick, threw up on her a couple of times, but she, feeling Christlike, forgave her.
I started my second semester of school, this time with a full schedule of 15 credits, and I changed my major from Kinesiology to Finance. Yum yum!
September: The month of wedding. My cousin, Justin, and a family friend of mine, Aleisha, got married on the 8th. Rick and I went to Show Low to show our love and support, and had a really good time reconnecting with family we hadn't seen in a while. Rick's younger brother, Kris, also got married to a wonderful girl name CheyAnne on the 15th. We also saw many people we hadn't seen in a long time and truly enjoyed ourselves. Finally, we decided to back out of our house, which still wasn't finished, and bought another, bigger, totally upgraded house. A new, three month countdown started...

November: We spent Thanksgiving here in Vegas with family. We got to meet my Aunties' sister from Hawaii, and she was so much fun! We had a good Thanksgiving weekend filled with food, conversation, and games. Only three more weeks till move-in! Apartments be gone!
December: Christmas :-) Family :-) Food:-) HOUSE :-) :-) House flooding :-( This month was the busiest month of the year for sure. I had finals, moved, and painted our new house in all the same week. My entire family spent Christmas with us, and our house was bustling for five wonderful days! We had fun with them, but were glad to have our quiet times back to ourselves. The year was good, we made a lot of progress in our lives, and were looking forward to what 2008 would bring.
