In case you forgot what went on in my life this past year, here is a quick review.
January - We spent several evenings addicted to Yahtzee. This was especially fun because we hung out in the attic (formerly Abby's room). We also had a terrible snow storm that cancelled Abby's flight back to Chicago, which we found out about after we were almost to the airport.
February - Annie turned 17 and my mom came up and made dinner for her and all of her friends.
March - We celebrated 23 years of marriage. Yea!! No easy feat when I'm involved.
April - Annie's junior prom. Which was the same weekend as some freak snow storm. Abby and two friends drove all the way from Chicago to share the prom experience with her sister!
May - We drove to KC to pick Abby up for the summer. This is also the month of freaky flooding. Which would include our basement, as well. Our baby turned 7.
June - Randy decided to take on a second job painting in his "spare time." The girls helped him and the money would come in handy later in the summer.
July - Abe, Randy, and I headed to Branson and the girls headed on a mission trip. Abby became engaged.
August - Our quick (not shotgun) wedding, in which above mentioned paint money came in very handy. Sent Abby back to Chicago and Annie started her senior year of highschool. Abe started second grade.
September - Randy spent the entire month taking care of his dad, whose Parkinson's rapidly progressed. He made several trips in the middle of the night to help his dad out.
October - Annie went on a weekend trip to visit her sister.
November - Our first born baby turned 21. We made our first trip as a family to Chicago. Abe road the subway for the first time.
December - Our much awaited trip to Great Wolf was postponed due to weather. I feel like it was either snowing or icing the entire month. Grandma got the flu on Christmas. It was an answer to prayer that none of us got sick. Considering that she cooked and served the entire supper we all enjoyed. I also have a sore shoulder this month. Wii. Bowling.
2008? One more in college (I will have lost all my babysitters!) and a third grader. 10 more years until we have an empty nest.
Happy New Year!
