wait, it's 2008?

I have been somewhat ordered by an anonymous commenter on my blog to "UPDATE!" So here goes.

What have I been up to? What things has life given me to experience? What's new with me?
It seems strange to ask ones self these questions. Egotistical in fact and that isn't something I like, it isn't a characteristic I'd like to embody. But. For lack of not being able to sit down and chat with all the people I would like to, this rambling about myself in the form of a blog is what I've got to do so you all can "know" me and know all about me.

After packing the car and driving, both of us sick and exhausted before we even got to the highway, back to Oregon...oh and I had to post a couple of photos of the "packed car", cause when I say packed...I mean to the brim with no way to lean back the seat or reason to adjust the rear view mirror...cause there's just no way it's going to happen - packed




Christmas I mentioned in a little post and then the strep throat week happened. We enjoyed a subdued ringing in of the new year with a group of good friends.

Things after the midnight moment.







Smooches & happy friends








Drinks are nice, aren't they?












The "before" mug shots.











Boys making a fresh start to the new year.












And the after's...
Joscience & Walterz were baby-faced at the start of '08, I wonder what kind of year that will produce for them?












oh, and then it was my birthday...
