A new beginning...2009

Although I am super excited about the new year, I really can't help but to look back at all the memories of 2008. It all happened so quickly it seems. As I look back at all the pictures from 2008, I am so happy that I have photos to remember those events and moments that took place throughout the year, however, I also feel sad about not having any pictures of other moments and events that I remember and find important. Or sad that I didn't take time to get GOOD pictures! Well, it's no longer 2008. 2009 is a new year. with more pictures. better pictures. for my new blog to maybe encourage me to take more pictures.

But for now, lets celebrate what 2008 was like for me.

In January, Billy came to visit. We went on a weekend family cabin trip in Tahoe. Snowboard. Johnny's 80's birthday party. Celebrated David's bday in Frisco.


February was very eventful as well. It was the month Alijah was born. We also went to So Cal for John's Bday. Got to hang out with old friends and met new people. For Valentine's Day, David surprised me with a car full of balloons, (baby blue ones so I can "feel like you're a mermaid swimming in the sea." lol


March, however, wasn't full of events. Things slowed down. But some friends came to visit. Which was nice. She's a sweetheart.


In April David and I were excited about Springtime and the semester being almost over. Pat, Van, and the rest of her family came up to visit SF. They got engaged =). We went to our first baseball game. It was the Giants vs. The Reds??? It was a bad game overall. haha.


May is always a great month. The month of my birthday. The roommates, including D, threw me a surprise birthday party. It was a surprise all right. Jess finds out she's pregnant with my neice in her belly. Well, here is a picture of my favorite cake that Kristina introduced me to. Thanks Kristina!


Junewas a very hot month! We spent a lot of time in our new pool in the backyard. Snoopy did not enjoy it however. As you will see...


July, us girls were being silly. Fun times it was. We used acrylic paints to paint each other's arm on the 4th. Look at that. ARTISTS...


Trying to find a new home for the three of us was our main goal in August. House hunting online. Driving through neighborhoods. Man. It felt good when it was over.



In September we got to move in at the beginning of the month. It was stressful getting things moved in and unpacked. Lots of work trying to make the place feel like home. It's been months and that haven't been achieved just yet.



October was fun. Nary and Johnny's bachelor/bachelorette party took place. MyHong came to visit as well after not seeing her in a LONG LONG TIME it seemed. Halloween was spent at Nary and Johnny's. Then we went to scare ourselves at the Dry Creek in the middle of the night.


November time was spent with the family of course. Jess also had her babyshower then. For Thanksgiving we went to Santa Rosa. Snoopy's first time there. He loved getting smuthered by the kids whenever they were awake. Lots of time playing board games. fun. fun. fun.


In December, we enjoyed Holiday parties and got ready for Christmas. It was nice to see the kids enjoyed the LITTLE gifts we got each of them. I realized, next year, I want a white christmas tree with lots of colors!
