Remebering 2008!

2008 was a great year!!!! Here are just a few highlights.

Jan- Josh celebrated 28 years of life. We had a party and celebrated. Had a thank you dinner at church for all our small group leaders and volunteers that make the church run on a weekly basis! Amazing to see so many people in one room~

Feb- Many dear friends birthdays and my mom actually had a real birthday. She is a leap year baby so I think she turned like 13 or something fun!

March- Celebrated 5 years of marriage together and took a quick weekend long trip up to San Fran to celebrate! We had a blast. Had a really nice anniversary dinner at a place called Albono's in San Fran and toured the city!

April- Devin, a girl that lived with us for a year, got engaged and I hosted a party at our house for them. I think I had like 30 or more people in my house! Fun! Celebrated my 28 years of life and a couple other friends as well!

May- We hosted an 80's prom night at church which was so much fun! Everyone went all out and looked great. We also flew to New Orleans and then to Alabama to marry off our dear friend Shawn who is also our assistant pastor! It was such a fun trip with friends and seeing something totally new. We did a swamp boat ride!

June- We had another friends wedding in Laguna Beach. We got to spend two nights up there and the views we got to see were amazing!

July and Aug.- we spent hanging out with friends, hitting up the beach here in San Diego and working on our house. It was great summer! Josh bought a motorcycle and we went on a bunch of fun rides through the summer!

Sept.- we had two weddings. Josh's brother and our dear friends Tara and Jason. It was so much fun to be involved in each of these weddings! We got to see some of Josh's aunts also that we haven't seen in a long time. It was also our church's 5 year anniversary! We had a huge celebration at a local park in town! Amazing to see all that's happened in 5 years!

Oct. - Our church hosts a Trunk or Treat each year and then we had a couple parties that we attended.

Nov. - My family came into town from Ecuador for some much needed rest but also to spend Thanksgiving. We hosted it at our house and I got to use my moms china for the first time that she passed down to me! So much fun. Josh also decided to start training for a half marathon in April. So he has been running like a freak!

Dec. - Flew to New York for a much needed weeks vacation and got to really enjoy our time in the city! It was so Christmasy! Just what the doctor ordered! Then we headed to Orange County for a great Christmas with Josh's family.

This year has flown by! We have gotten to see and do so much! We are looking forward to another year! We are all ready planning for our next adventure. Who knows, maybe there will be some sky diving involved! I would love to do that but I don't know if Josh would go for it! We'll see. Have a Happy New Year!!!!!!!

T minus 3 days till the big apple!!!!!!!

We leave next Tuesday for a week in New York! We can't wait! We need a vacation badly! We are staying with our friend Rob in New Jersey and then at the W hotel in New York City the last two nights of our stay! But we are going to see alot of old friends, go back to our college and into the city! We are excited to go ice skating in Central Park, see the tree in Rockefeller center, hit up china town, the stores on 5th Ave., and eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll post many pictures once we are back! It has been a whirl wind with my parents here for Thanksgiving, friends from Virginia visiting and working full time on top of all of that! So we are ready to get out of town and just enjoy ourselves and come back with some Christmas spirit! I'm ready to freeze to. Had to do some major shopping for sweaters and closed toed shoes. Love Sunny San Diego!
