Happy NEW YEAR!



What a CRAZY YEAR! This is what was going on...

January-mid March: I was commuting to Ellensburg (1 hour & 15 min. away, one way) every day Monday-Friday, to go to school to earn my bachelor's degree.

March-May: I started my student teaching... 6 months pregnant... Ended student teaching 8 months pregnant.

June: Graduated from CWU on the 7th, gave birth by c-section to Jacob on the 12th, and had a duvall family reunion.

July: Celebrated Jacob's first 4th! Two of my brothers drove hours to visit and participate in the baby blessing, along with two of Jon's brothers.

August: Redford family reunion, and my Grandma Petersen passed away.

September: Celebrated 4 years of marriage!

October: Jacob's first Halloween, he dressed up as a skunk, and we went trick-or-treating

November: Thanksgiving! We ate tons and had some relatives from the west side of the state visit.

December: Jacob's first Christmas! He loved opening the gifts from all. He loved the paper the most, and I learned how to make my mom's famous pillowcases.

Happy New Year!!

Sounds like you had quite the year! Busy and a lot of Jacob's firsts! How fun.
Yeah, I know it is soo sad that we are moving from 8th ward! I don't think I am going to handle it very well. :( But definately, it would be nice if the ward did some kind of potluck soon. :) We don't know yet what ward. the apartments are right next to Grape Drive, but I dont think that's 5th. Most likely it is 2nd ward. So we will see how that goes!
