Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! What a great year 2007 has been and we are so excited for 2008. Here are some notable things that happened for us this year....

1. January: Craig left 7+ years of Micron and began working with me at Wirestone...and has never looked back!
2. February: We began blogging and have really enjoyed having a place to record all of our thoughts and keep in touch with family.
3. March: We made an offer on a house we found in the Boise foothills.
4. April: We put our house in Meridian up for sale (still on the market) and I turned 29.
5. May: We moved into our new house and CJ found his pet frog.
6. June: We took a road trip to Oregon for Nona's family reunion weekend.
7. July: CJ became an OLD man and turned 30.
8. August: We hung out in our new house and enjoyed some lazy summer days.
9. September: We finished working on a parttime programming project and traveled to Orem Utah to see the Smashing Pumpkins play.
10. October: CJ took a trip to Las Vegas for a work conference and we had a pretty uneventful month.
11. November: We went to Las Vegas for the annual work retreat, spent Thanksgiving with the Seattle Sweigarts, and Bachelor had his barbed-wire accident.
12. December: We went to Arizona to celebrate my Grandma's 70th birthday and enjoyed the holidays.

Phew! It has been a busy year. I think that as the years go by, things just keep getting better and better. CJ and I are really loving our new house and having so much fun working together.

For the past few years I haven't really made any New Years resolutions. It seems that if you setup New Years goals, you're so much more likely to not accomplish them. But the problem with not making goals, is that you don't actually accomplish anything either. You have to set a goal to meet that goal, but if you don't set the goal then you will miss it for sure. So I figure that our chances are better at accomplishing some things if we actually set some goals this year. Here are the things that we will be working on...

1. We're going to strive to eat healthier and attend the gym.
2. We're going to make an effort to keep our car clean and clutter free.

Small list, but I think goal #1 is pretty challenging on its own. Goal #2 is a little thing that will really help us feel more organized. One of the things I am going to try to do this year is to set little weekly goals that accomplish the bigger goals. Hopefully we can keep our resolutions, but really any progress in those areas will be a win for us.

Happy 2008 everyone! We hope this year is even better than the last for you and we send you our best wishes and love.
