Wow! I can't believe that January is pretty much over with! I have no idea where time goes. But thats okay, I'm not a big fan of January and the cold weather. We have been very busy this month, Shawn started school on the 12th, and so far he loves it. We finished the half wall that we built in the entry way/living room. Than sanded all the exsisting walls in the living room, textured, primed, and painted. I promise that I will get back to the swing of blogging and post pics soon!
I hope that this new year is treating everyone great so far!

2008 A Year In Review
I can't believe that 2008 is already done and over with. It went by so fast! Here is alittle bit of what we were up to in 2008:
January: We really didn't do anything to exciting. We finished the guest bathroom, and it turned out better than I hoped for.
February: I turned a year older, and nothing to exciting to report.
March: I ventured out on my own, and played Soccer without Shawn with all his friends (I guess that they are my friends too now that we are married). Let me tell you, soccer is more enjoyable when Shawn isn't there stressing me out.
April: We planned out what we were going to do to our backyard. We decided to build a re-taining wall, and lay sod. After hours & hours of moving dirt we finally had everything the way we wanted it.
May: We built the wall and laid the sod, if we could do it over again, we'd pay someone else to do it. I'd be happy if I NEVER have to pick up a Landscaping brick again!
June: Softball was in full swing, and I was going strong. I love summertime! I had such a blast playing ball and look forward to it every year! Shawn also finished school, and was very excited to have a great summer break.
July: Blew by with a blink of an eye. we were both very busy with work, and everything that was going on in our life. Not really much happened that I can remember.
August: The end of Softball, and the start of the fall soccer league. Shawn didn't get to play cause it didn't work out with his work shedule, so I was on my own again! Labour Day weekend (the end of august) is always a good time with the Blackfoot State Fair. Shawn was hit by a dunk driver while he was on his motorcycle on the way to work. he was so lucky he walked away with a few bumps and bruises. That day has FOREVER changed our lives.
September: After a hectic summer we decided that we needed a vacation. So we went to Portland/Seattle. It was just what we needed! Portland is an awesome city, I wouldn't mind living there. While in Seattle we were able to go to an Seattle Mariners game. We had such blast, I was just excited because it was Shawn's first MLB game, and I got to share that with him.
October: Soccer finally ended for the year, and let me tell you, that is the BEST workout ever! Other than that nothing really speaical happened that I can remember.
November: Nothing too much to report. After months & months of waiting, we finally found out that Shawn was accepted to Indiana State Unversity's Graduate program. We are both very excited to see what the new school year brings!
December: Shawn turned 28 this month! I keep telling him that he is turning into an old man. It's been so cold outside that we have decided to work on the inside of our house. We built a half wall in the living room, sanded, texured, and primed all the walls. so that is what we are working on now. I will post pics when we are done.
I hope that everyone's year treated them as good as it treated us! Have a happy and safe new year!!

Christmas Time In Temple Square
Over The weekend we took our annual trip to Salt Lake for Shawn's Birthday. While we were down there, we made a trip to Temple Square. I had never been, and let me tell you, it was BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't believe all the lights. It was a good way to put me in the Christmas spirit. I love going to Temple Square, its so peaceful. I was even telling Shawn that we if got married around Christmas time I would have taken my bridals with the lights! Here are some pictures, I hope that you enjoy!

Happy Birthday Shawn!
Today is Shawn's 28th Birthday! I think that I'm more excited about it than he is! in my family our Birthdays were like Christmas! Shawn's family is alittle more laid back. This year we are going to Salt Lake again (we did it last year) on friday. Its nice to get away, and visit some friends that we hardly ever see. This year Shawn is going to take me to Temple Square to see the lights. I have never seen them and people keep saying that they are amazing. So I'm very excited! :) I will post pics when we get back!!!

Half Wall
Shawn and I have been talking about putting a half wall in our living room for a long time. When we bought our house there was an iron railing that was from the outside that was above our stairs. We took that down and didn't know what to put there. So I came home from work one day and this is what I saw:
I will post more pictures when we finish it. I hope that its sooner than later!

Annual Family Christmas Party
Over the weekend, the family on my mom's side got together for our christmas party that we do every year. This year was a little different cause we use to have at Pocatello Pizza Place, but since that place has closed we have to find a good place that could hold about 50 people including about 20 kids. What better place than Outer Limits! that place is so much fun no matter what age you are! we all had a blast, and it was great to spend time with family we never get to see. We all had a blast and can't wait until next year!
