Reflection of 2008

As I was looking through some blogs, I saw a few reflections of the past year. So I decided I would do the same - almost halfway through January 2009.

2008

January

• Sinus surgery #2

February

• Don't recall anything significant

March

• Took a trip to Birmingham to see my sweet LeeAnna!

April

• Ordered glasses and contacts for the first time!
• Took a trip to Arkadelphia for the weekend - Prairie Home Companion & the beginning of some "negotiations."

May

• Softball season.
• 2nd annual trip to the Dancing Dog Bed & Breakfast.

June

• Stem-Crabtree Wedding
• The moment when I knew I had found love, peace, and the me I was meant to be!

July

• Meeting the Ward family
• A trip to Spartanburg, SC to see another beautiful couple married: Collins-Jett wedding!
• A short & sweet trip to Memphis - celebrating my birthday!

August

• A week long trip to Newfoundland - wonderful experience!
• Belleville River Bash.
• 8.29.08 - I got engaged to Pursuing Pineapple!!
• Ashley's bridal shower!
• Jarboe-Rowe wedding.

September

• The beginning of planning for the big day - 6.13.2009
• The remembrance of my nephew, Dalton (9.2.2005).
• Quick trip to West Virginia to visit the family! Wonderful weekend at the River. Weekend filled with food, fun, fellowship, and CORNHOLE!
• Greer-Singleton Wedding!

October

• 10 year high school reunion
• Dress shopping - where I found my dress at the White Room.
• 2 trips to Arkadelphia
• Halloween with Aaron, as Fred and Wilma. Had the greatest time passing out candy to the kids. I think the best moments were the children trying to figure out who Aaron really was.

November

• Same trip - 1st engagement party in Arkadelphia!
• More wedding planning, details!

December

• Spent the weekend with Aaron's family in Natchitoches, LA - the Christmas Festival. Tour of the town where Steel Magnolias was filmed. Got to see some plantations homes, which I loved. CHRISTMAS PARADE & FIREWORKS. Had a wonderful time with my new family.
• Signed the papers to put my house up for sale - a little emotional and overwhelming.
• Christmas with Aaron in Murfreesboro. It was a great weekend - I think we both gave gifts to the other knowing that we would both get them back. I got him the Wii, with WilPlay & Mario Kart. He got me a BEAUTIFUL 1994 Matisse painting - appears to be a fatigued bride lounging back in a chair - I'm sure I'll be able to 'relate.'

Just a few memorable moments of 2008. Already make more in 2009 - and we still have the year to go!
