2007: A Year in Review

Instead of sending a Christmas card, I decided to post a "what we've been up to this year" blog... okay, okay, I just forgot about Christmas cards...but I'll still post the "what we've been up to" thing.

This year started off pretty slow...NOT! Things are never slow when your husband goes to school full-time and works 4 ten-hour shifts a week! Justin is very glad that he can put another few semesters behind him though. I've stayed busy at home, babysitting and keeping up with our little Britt. :) We had a few big changes this year, namely; Justin got a new car, we got a new computer, and Britt got his first fish. In June we took a weeklong trip to California, where we went to Disneyland and Sea World with Justin's family. We had so much fun that we're already trying to plan another trip to Disneyland. :) We had a great summer, during which Justin took a short break from school, and we spent lots of time with family. In August, Justin and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. In September we got the chance to make a trip to San Francisco for a week! Justin was made Systems Administrator for a new system they will be using at the hospital where he works, and their training facility is in San Francisco, so Britt and I tagged along and we had a great time! In November, Justin and I were able to go away for a weekend and attend our first concert in two years. Then in December, we celebrated the second birthday of our sweet little boy.

This year Britt had his first encounter with a baby chick.


Here's Britt all worn out after a day of fun at Disneyland.


We've been thinking about the nachos on Ocean Beach Pier since our honeymoon.


Justin and Britt got to ride a manatee!


Britt helped us do the drywall texture in our laundry room...and on the floor and the doors...


Britt couldn't believe his eyes when he saw people throwing candy everywhere during the Pioneer Days Parade.

Britt's new fish, Ciccio.


The Hold Steady playing at Marquee Theater.


Justin's Civic


What a great year for music! Here are most of the CDs we got this year...including ones on top that were just downloaded or burned...if you're wondering how we could pay for all of these, check out www.lala.com


Finally, our adorable 2-year-old, Britt, who grew hair this year!




Looking back, we were so blessed this year. We had good health and were able to spend lots of time with family. We look forward to what the next year brings. :)
We hope you all have a happy and healthy New Year!

Good idea Bri!! Maybe this is what I should do since I seem to be avoiding the whole Christmas Card thing this year... :) I just figure I'm still recovering from my cards last year! :P Cute pictures too!! Looks like you guys had a super fun year!

That is a great idea Bri! I keep thinking I want to send official cards, but I'm totally slacking. So, maybe this is what I should do too. I LOVE the last pic of Britt! Where'd you get those PJs? :) P.S. Where are you? Get your little buns over here!

Happy New Year! I am pretty bummed that we weren't able to get up there and that we all weren't able to spend it with eachother and our Justin's again. Maybe next year. I miss ya and it seems like forever since I have seen you. Maybe I will have to jump in my car one of these days and just make my way up there to visit you. :)
