Where did 2008 go?

2008 just seemed to fly by, I blinked and it was gone!

In 2008 I:
Moved to North Carolina
Went without a job for a month and just spent the time relaxing!
Decided I cant stand not doing anything, so I went to find a job.
One week, and a couple interviews later I became an employee of Guy M Turner, Inc. as Receptionist
Colby and I celebrated my birthday, He got me a screwdriver set and some house stuff (i cant remember exactly...) we also went to dinner and drove to 3 different restaurants before we chose one (without an 1 1/2 wait)
Ann came to visit and we drove around to find the Wake Forest sign so we could take a picture...we never found one.
I experienced my first REAL spring, full of bright, magnificent colors.
I found out I should tell Colby my plans before booking flights. That way I dont ruin surprises.
However, it made for an even better surprise.
We got engaged, and I still have one of the Fortune Cookies!
A day later I flew to Las Vegas, Spent time with my wonderful family, found a wedding dress, went to a wedding reception, picked my colors, and ate In N Out 2x! Yumm!
Colby and i went and discovered downtown Raleigh and a very delicious pizza place!
Colby and I bought our first dog, Krone the Warrior King! We love him so much!
I had a bridal shower with family and friends, it was intimate, fun, and memorable!!
My work threw me a shower and I received a ton of stuff of my registary! It was so much fun!
I left for Las Vegas, one day ahead of Colby.
I was able to go through the temple for the first time.
Colby and I were sealed for time and all eternity! Everything went so smoothly and was beautiful!
We ate Nathans Pizza for our 1 dinner as married couple and stayed at the Marriot.
We payed $20 for breakfast we thought was free, but the German waitress gave us a free fruit bowl full of strawberries!
We went 4-wheeling with my family on the dry lake bed and had a blast!
We traveled back to NC to get back to real life.
My family came out to celebrate the NC reception. It was so great to see Everyone, including grandma and Grandpa Kuhn.
Our lives have been filled with school, work, dog training, and family! The time since we got married has seemed to fly by!
For Thanksgiving we went to Deep Run, NC to visit Colbys Grandma.
We ate at Stephanie and Mickeys house and everything was delicious!
We went to visit Fort Macon and finally I got to feel the sand of the east coast between my toes!
They offered me a promotion at work, I am now the Accounts Payable Clerk.
We had a murder mystery dinner hosted by Brittany! Everyone dressed up!
Christal was the pregnant cheerleader murderer. Ironic since she IS pregnant...
Colby and I celebrated our first Christmas together.
He is a great gift giver and surpised me with a New NIKON camera!!
I found out how the Howards celebrate Christmas, and learned some new songs!
We fell asleep around 9pm on New Years Eve, but I woke up at 11:57 by acccident. So I turned on the TV to watch the ball drop. Colby stayed in bed. Krone however, watched with me!
2008 was Great! Here is to 2009!

Bowling

Colby and I went bowling with Brittany, Cade and the kids a couple of weekends ago. 

 We had a blast, the kids didnt make it through the first game though. 

This picture is hilarious of Kyrah!

While we were gone...

Krone picked up a bad habit...

Such a bad dog.

thanksgiving weekend!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

We went down to Kinston to eat with part of the Howard clan!

I forgot to take pictures on THanksgiving day, but I got plenty of pictures on Friday!

We started our day off with a large snake skin found in our bathroom!

That was an experience!

Then we hit the road and headed down towards the ocean! 

It was my first time on the Atlantic coast!

Colby couldnt seem to get a picture of me just standing there, so Im walking in all the pictures. I picked the best one! 

Then we went to Ft. Macon. It is an old civil war fort that has been made into a monument.

It was really neat to see a piece of history like Fort Macon.

Oh and we took this cool shadow shot!

Snow!

We had our first snow of the season! 

It wasn't a lot but it was still beautiful!

Krone wasnt so sure about it though!

tag

5th folder, 5th picture.

Except there were only 3 pictures.

Here is my little Gunnar. He was so cute and sweet. He now weighs close to 100lbs!! 

I miss him! :)

I tag ALL

Darn..

I didn't think it would happen..

I thought I was stronger...

Unfortunately, it was too enticing,

even in the first chapter.

Yep..

I'm talking about Twilight.

Half done with #1. Ordered #2 & #3.

They should be here by Saturday or Monday.

And now I only have 10 days (or so my mother informed me)

until the movie hits theaters!!

Yay!

If you haven't, You most definitely should!
