Why Hello!

New year.. new goals. Goal number one, don't forget I have a blog. The week before Christmas my sister and I headed up to Seattle with the two little ones. Our parents met us up there a couple days later. Andrea and I almost died flying up to Seattle and are still working on trying to block the whole experience out of our minds. I'll save you from the details but let's just say we have never pleaded more with the Lord to let us live. Any who.. Seattle ended up having one of the worst snow storms they had seen in about 10 years. Needless to say we learned to love our hotel room since we spent most the vacation stuck inside it. It was a little depressing since this was my first visit back in almost 6 months and I didn't get to see anyone I had planned on due to the bad driving conditions. But we made the best of it and got to see our extended family which mattered the most. I got to go to dinner at the Columbia Tower while up in Seattle with my Pops. It was unreal... I couldn't believe how beautiful it was! We made it back to Utah just in time to spend our first Christmas here. It was probably one of the most laid back Christmases I can ever remember, it was perfect! Lots of snow.. I think we got something like 4 feet! New Years Eve ended up going about the same as Christmas.. laid back, nothing too crazy! As I look back at 2008 I can't believe how much has changed in my life, and now I'm even more excited to see what 2009 brings! Hope everyone had a great holiday and hopefully I'll be back in Seattle soon to see everyone!
