What a year! 2008

2008 was quite the year for us!! We had many blessings, lots of love, and a few trials along the way to make us stronger. We took a belated honeymoon, built a house, got a new dog, and managed to pack in many fun times and memories with family and good friends! We are so thankful for all of our good friends and family that helped us along the way for yet another year. You guys are the best! We hope 2008 was full of blessings for you as well! And wish you an even better 2009! Here's a recap of just a few of the memories from the year:
2008 started with tons of snow and ice. We were glad to get away in March to Hawaii. We spent a week there on the Pride of America cruise ship. It was fun to get away and enjoy the warm weather!! As soon as we got back home, we started building our house . It was quite the test of strength and wills. In May, we took a short break from the house and went to my cousin, Tracy's, wedding in Oklahoma. It was fun to see everyone!
I was fortunate enough to get to spend some of my summer vacation surrounded by kids I love. Here is a pic of Maddox, Cooper, Jaden, and Isaiah when we went swimming at the Nevada pool. I also got some fun time in with Morgan, Colson, Myah, and Maysen! They are all tons of fun!! We also got our Goldendoodle, Dakota, over the summer. He too is tons of fun!
We spent quite a bit of the summer waiting on trusses to come for the house. We were definitely excited when they came in! The Peasley boys came to hoist them up! It was quite the sight!
Rusty was a groomsmen in Brad Greene's wedding in July. We are thinking this may be the last Northwest Iowa wedding!! It is a long drive up there... but the reception was a blast!
