Peace Out 2008

As we wrap up this last year and we usher in a new one I thought I would quickly wrap up the accomplishments and milestones of this year for our family.



Lily is vomiting far less then she used to and only pees on the bedroom rug when we forget to close the door.

I quit my job teaching after three years at Viewmont

Lacey and Lily stopped fighting

Brandon switched Law Firms after being at Ballard Spahr for just over 4 years

We staved off the idea of getting a kid for one more year

I went back to school starting the Masters of City and Metropolitan Planning program at the U.

I spent a wonderful month in Europe with Jason and Mom

Brandon and I saw our new president accept the nomination of the Democratic Party in Denver

We elected said President!

I helped orchestrate some great wins for Democrats in Salt Lake County

I finally installed the switch plates on the switches and plugs in our Kitchen (all victories big and small are important!)

I remodeled our backyard adding a flagstone "patio", of sorts, and brick planters

Brandon and I relaxed in Cancun and saw some places we always wanted to - some Mayan ruins.

Brandon turned 30! :-) All our friends and family were there to witness it.

Took two great trips to the Bay Area after having not been back for five years.

We went to Vegas with friends and saw Eddie Izzard Live

We spent lots of money to see Coldplay up close!

I spent another great week with my family (including the Roarks! (minus Kev :-( )) at Lake Powell



All-in-all a great year!

  2. I feel so unaccomplished. Maybe I better set some goals for next year. Maybe I did accomplish something, but just can't remember. Who knows. Congrats on all your fabulous step forward.
    Love, Mom
