A New Year Has Begun

Ah yes, we now embark on a new year. 2009! Seriously, it is so weird that as of June of this year I will have been graduated from high school for 10 years. I don't know how I feel about that. You'll have to ask me in June! :)

So to start this post I thought I would give a brief recap of 2008 for everyone...

November

Tucker was born. We celebrated Tucker's first Thanksgiving at David's parents house with Jenn's parents and David's family. David and His Dad went to the Civil War game.

December

We celebrated Christmas with David's family, and New Years Eve. We traveled to California to surprise my family with a visit.

So this last weekend David and I made a surprise visit (with the help of Dave and Rachel) to California. My whole family was together which doesn't happen very often, so we were excited to go so everyone could meet Tucker. It was so much fun. (For all of you who are reading this, we weren't able to see many people other than family. We were soo busy. We wanted EVERYONE to meet Tucker, but time was not permitting. However, hopefully atleast Tucker and I will be back down in February so where we can go around and visit EVERYONE.) Tucker was able to meet all of his Aunt's and Uncles on my side of the family. He was also able to meet Lisa and Amber, two of my best friends. On the plan ride both ways he was amazing! He slept the whole time, which made it so much easier on me. We had such a fun trip spending time with my family. We were able to stay at Bryan and Monica's while we were there and that was enjoyable as well. Bryan and Monica are so fun and relaxed. One morning Monica got up with Tucker so we could sleep, that was so nice. We really enjoyed staying with them. It was really just an awesome weekend all around. ;)

In true fashion, we brought our camera and didn't take it out of our bag once. FOR THE LOVE! But my Mom got some pictures so here is a slide show from the weekend.
