2008

Has it seriously been a year since this picture was taken??? I can't believe how fast it's went by! What a year it's been though! The year started out a little rocky, but definitely turned out to be great! We are so excited to be welcoming a baby girl into our family. (And no, just so everyone knows, we haven't decided on a name yet. :) Chandler is VERY picky) We've had such a good year that I just wanted to post pictures from all the fun stuff that we've done. The top picture was taken exactly one year ago to the day. We were on a cruise in the Western Carribean. And yes, while you were all freezing here, it was 98 degrees in Haiti. Ahhh man. I wish I were there right now.....

We went to Bryce Canyon in March. As you can tell, it was pretty chilly but we had a lot of fun.
We went on a hot air balloon ride in June. It was a lot of fun, but also kinda scary!

We took a trip out to San Fran. It was so AMAZING out there. I loved it! I told Chan that we should just move there, but the whole grocery store thing seems to be standing in our way! :(

And of course, we found out about our baby girl!

I just hope that 2009 is just as good if not better than 2008 has been!

Christmas 2008

Christmas was great again this year! Chandler and I had a lot of fun hanging out with family. I also got my Kathy Van Zeeland bag, which I LOVE! I'm so excited!

Chandler also bought me Paris Hilton's 'Fairydust' perfume, levis, and earrings. I had a GREAT Christmas!

Jojo was so sweet to help us!

I was SO excited because my mom and dad gave us a HUGE stainless steel mixing bowl! I've been wanting one forever so I can make carmel popcorn and now I have one! YAY!

The sweetest husband ever!
