a good 2008

I woke up today feeling a little nostalgic... 2008 was huge for us, I actually remember being a little nervous this time last year as to what was all going to go down in a matter of months. Of course Thad chuckled at me as I ate my cereal and watched the Today show tell me "how to spruce up my New Years outfit by using old accessories". I just started thinking about the year and the year to come. I think new years resolutions are fun- whether you keep them and do them is one thing but it is smart to acknowledge things you'd like to do more often. For instance on our run this morning, I told Thad that I want to save $1.00 a day. I don't think that's too much to spare and in a month's time you saved about 30 bucks. Thad said he would like to do more 5-10 minute jobs each day so on the weekends they don't seem so overwhelming. We'll see.
The point of my blog was I wanted to quickly jot down some highlights of this year for us. No particular order just what comes to mind. In 2008 we/I.....
