2008 year in review...

So...where do we start? Hmm...we've got Becca's graduation, a disney cruise, new family additions, football games, our sweet garden, and a Bruce Willis sighting. Let's start at Sea:We visited a lot of places in '08, but our Magical excursion in the Bahamas probably tops them all. How can you beat this: watching a Jazz playoff game on a 20' TV, while sitting IN a hottub eating Pizza?!? I know, sounds like Heaven. Yeah, well, it was pretty close! On top of the theme parks and Bahamian scooter rides, it was just a fabulous time together as a family.Becca graduated from College this year (with honors I might add) after 5 grueling years of stratteling both Music and Nursing pursuits. She now spends her time in the E.R., which she refers constantly as her "dream job".We managed to squeeze in a few football games, and even followed BYU on the road this year to Seattle, WA and Logan. Our friends Cam & Natalie even let us stay the night at their pad even though we cheered for the [mildly] different shade of blueThe family continued to shuffle (as always), as we said farewell to one missionary brother and awaited home another, welcomed a sister to the family and have enjoyed the beautiful new babiesNo drastic home improvements occured during this past year, besides the array of our vegetable garden and our SWEET new ping pong table (look out, Jackie Chan!)Overall, it has been a good year filled with great obsticles--but even greater joy. Thanks to all of you who have been such a great strength to us both.

Even you, Bruce! (we saw him in Park city)
