Happy New Year!

Ryan and I spent a lovely evening with Bret, Courtney, and Adam at Bret's apartment. We enjoyed some drinks, Wii playing, and much picture taking. Courtney took the pictures above (except the one of her which Bret took - is that better Mr. Walker?). She's FANTASTIC! She's developing her photography business and you should take a look at her website.
Anyway, it was a great way to roll in 2009 and hope we can see them more often this year!

Picture of the Month - December 2008

We got a new big screen TV for each other for Christmas!

Nuf Said.

Reenactment

This is a reenactment of Ryan's accident in 2004 which actually ended instead with a totaled Geo. I guess we didn't have Bridgestone tires.

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It is a time to be happy for all of the good things we have in our lives. I have been unbelievably blessed in my life. From family, to friends, to health, to experiences, I don't think I could ask for anything more. One recent blessing Ryan and I have had is in hosting Birte, our exchange student from Germany, for a semester. Tomorrow she will be experiencing her first Thanksgiving celebration. It has been fun showing her our traditions and things in America. And through this experience it has actually made me more appreciative of my country.
