Last Day of 2008

Crazy, another year has passed and I spend the first three hours of the last day at the computer. I have got to get a life.
Please note the new song on my blog. It is an oldy from Rare Earth, "I just want to celebrate", a good way to bring in the new year.
I would like to share some odd thoughts about the past year:

1. The Bachelorette picked the wrong guy. I knew it wouldn't last. (Admit it Lyric and Scott, He was a fun, nice guy but no experience in commitment)

2. The United States is ready for a black president but not a mormon. Odd. However, blacks were freed before Utah was recognized as a state. A sad note, women didn't get the right to vote until long after both. A long wait for a woman president.

3. The motorhome was moved three times, the Williard Reunion, Labor Day weekend to Ketchum, and the move to the new house on Monroe Circle. A good reason why not to buy a new motorhome.

4. Lesson learned: Don't watch a marathon of Criminal Minds, it will blow your mind.

5. I can find my way around Vegas (or at least from the Riddle's to the Sunrise hospital)

6. The Twilight books are great reads, but can take up your whole summer.

7. Thanksgiving dinner at Golden Corral isn't too bad. But if you don't want to wait in line, go after 2:00 pm.

8. I may actually become a good teacher. I was really excited all summer for the new school year to start, and I have really never lost that enthusiasm.

9. I have had 4 new cell phones this year. I finally got the phone I had dropped in the toilet traded for one that worked better. Then Dad decided to get a new phone and ordered me a new phone on the new AT&T plan. It came back black, which was hard to swallow when his was a green. I threw a fit and dad sent that one back and ordered me a pink Sony/Ericsson. Over Christmas vacation, I somehow dropped it on the driveway and Marc and I drove over it. It worked but the face was broken. So back to AT&T for another pink phone. This is ridiculous. No wonder dad gets frustrated over my phone situation.

10. I finally decide to be a 'silent' BSU fan so I could cheer on a team that would win and then they lost!!! I give up. I think I'll start cheering for BYU Idaho!!!

Bring it on 2009!!

Grandpa is in Heaven, He has another baby to hold.


Ariane and Derek arrived today to spend the holidays with us. We are so excited. We have got to hold our new grandson and enjoy his sweet spirit. Grandpa is proud of himself as he has gotten him to sleep. It's going to be a great Christmas.

Cleaning out the Cell Phone Camera

So, I needed to take a picture with my cell phone the other day and it was full. I thought I would share some of those pictures I have taken this last month.

Gregory's Visit in November
















This was just before we called Scott so President Neiffenegger
could visit with his missionary.


Fireworks from Christmas in the Nighttime Sky.









I wish I had more memory. I would of had more pics on this blog.
