We started 2008 as real grownups; all finished with student life. Ryan started work with Lydig Construction, and we bought and moved into our first house in January. We're slowly making a few improvements, and it's starting to feel more like home. I worked a little throughout the year as a substitute teacher and as a teacher at a reading clinic.
During the summer, we went to a SeaHawks game, to plenty of Mariners games, and even saw the Sonics before they left Seattle. We spent many a Saturday or Sunday with Ryan's family, a few weekends in Portland with my sister and her family, and even had family come visit from Canada a few times! Erin and I also made the long drive home with her two kids for a week. Summer also brought exciting news! TT got engaged to Carson, and we found out that we were having a baby!
The holiday season just flew by. My family came down for Canadian Thanksgiving, we spent American Thanksgiving with the Dahles, and then went home for Tiera and Carson's wedding and a Canadian Christmas with the Crapos! We even brought in the new year while in Canada.
Now, in 2009, we have plenty to look forward to. Only a couple more months and we'll have a little boy in our little family, and we know that will bring a lot of excitement this coming year! We're looking forward to all the good that's coming in 2009!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year- my family loves crackers too! We did that on New Year's as well! My paper crown was orange. How fun.
