Our 2007 Family Review

2007, is it to cliche to say the year went by way too fast? I am sure you have all heard that only a time or two.
January, February and March just seem like a blur of the past. With not much happening, but keeping warm inside. Jared and I did venture out to Edmonton with no kids in tow. We had quite a nice time relaxing and visiting some of my high school friends. I started a class in January to go towards my business certificate, with hopes of doing it again this January.

April brought about a birthday month..with Dominic turning 3 and Jared turning 24. It's hard to believe that time can fly by like that.

May was a little depressing for us, as we lost my dear grandpa. It was a hard month. But he was safe up in heaven, and that brought us some comfort. My cousin Tara got married in Moose Jaw so I was up there for that. This was also the month my photo obsession began, with the purchase of a new camera I wanted to make sure to catch every moment.

June was a very busy month for us. Our dear baby Paige, turned ONE YEAR old!! Still not walking or talking much..but definetly growing each and every day. Mid June we headed up to Saskatoon, for my cousin Pam's wedding. That was such a fun and memorable day. End of June my baby sister graduated high school, so a trip to Indian Head to congratulate and celebrate with her. June started the Rider football season as well, where Jared and I had season tickets. I was always on the run to Regina..couldn't miss a game!

July was my big quarter century birthday, which was also a hard day. As my grampa and I shared the same birthday..and this was my first without him. Also big plans started evolving, as Jared and I anticipated our big wedding day. I had my stagette this month, which was a lot of fun. The kids and I enjoyed lots of play dates with Marissa and her two kids, Tyson and Amoriah. Fishing was also a big part of our spare time rituals. My good friend Allisha got married this month in Regina, and I was so happy to be there and see her wed Rob. My sister Mallory, moved down to Oxbow and has been living with Jared and I. We also endured a month long renovation to our bathroom. Not fun, but it is nice to have a decent bathroom!!

August came and went in a flash. Jared and I uniting as one on August 11. A week later we were up to Wolseley for our good friends Barret and Kandi's wedding. Celebrating with them was so much fun.

September, my little boy started playschool and story hour. He is growing up so fast, before I know it both my munchkins will be in school! We had football games to attend, with tensions getting high as the Riders began to see the Grey Cup light.

October, was thanksgiving which we celebrated just at home. Then headed down to Minot the day after for a litte Sale shopping. A trip to Dauphin was also done this month, with some pics taken in hopes of getting a decent one for Christmas cards. I started working part time at C & N Oilfield and will begin full time work there in January. Little Paige finally started to walk!

November was fun, with a home playoff game for the Riders, and then the big Grey cup win. My dad got in for back surgery to have a couple lumps removed. It was stressful and worriesome, but he is doing very well, and is back to work in Oman as of Dec 18th. We also had my work Christmas party down in Minot. Had a blast down there and finished up some Christmas shopping.

December..oh now this is much easier to remember. We headed off to Vegas from the 10th -15th with some friends of ours. It was such a good time, we hope to go back in a couple of years. Christmas came and went in the blink of an eye. The kids had such a blast, and are enjoying playing with their new toys. I must admit, I am kind of enjoying playing with the new toys too.

And now was we say good-bye to 2007, and welcome 2008. I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!

Some of the things we are looking forward to in 2008:
Dominic turning 4 and Paige turning 2!!!
Jared and I's one year wedding anniversary.
Jamaica next Christmas, for my best friend Heidi's wedding!
Hopefully finishing our house renovations.
