Welcoming 2009

Hi All-

So it's been a few weeks since I've posted. We had a great holiday but it was very strange. Joey and I have been in school since we got married 5 1/2 years ago and this year was the first year that we didn't have a 2 or 3 week break for Christmas and New Year's. We had our great holidays and then Joey was back to work, poor guy is working on a big case right now, in fact, last night he came to bed at 3:30am and was up at 6:30am to go back to the office! We have to get used to this real life stuff.

I'm very excited for 2009. We had a great 2008. Here are some highlights from our year:
Joey graduated from law school and passed the California bar.
We moved to Orange County, CA. I am now a Real Housewife of Orange County...yeah right!
We became homeowners.
Hayden turned 4!
The boys are crazy, rambunctious, and absolutely wonderful. They will be 2 in Feb. 2009.
Joey got called to be in the Elders Quorum Presidency.
I got called to the Young Women's Presidency.

My goal for the next year is to enjoy life a little more. My kids will only be kids for a short time and I want to remember every age and stage. I love them more and more each day! I also am going to simplify my life. Last year I had more hobbies that I knew what to do with and I was okay at most of them but not great at any. I want to focus on 1 or 2 hobbies and become really good at something.

Happy 2009!!!
