Year 2009

This year was a crazy year. We packed it full and had lots of fun. Brenan and I moved from Idaho, to Oregon, to Utah...All in one year! Needless to say we hate moving and don't plan on leaving Heber any time soon. Brenan went from being an insurance salesman, to a dishwasher, assistant manager, clothing associate, to head wrestling coach. I went from a call center, student mentor, to an server/assistant manager, to clothing associate, to banquet server. Busy, busy. The best news is that with this economy, we only experience one month of unemployment, and are happy to now be solid in both of our jobs.

One of our greatest blessings of the year was getting el perrito, Walter! We got him in May when he was only 11 weeks old. He was so cute and so tiny and now he is still cute, but much larger (almost a year old!). I still remember him not being able to walk down stairs (since he was so small) and now he travels in leaps and bounds! For the most part he is very well behaved and obedient. He LOVES to play with Dozer (my mom's dog) and feels that he is the size of a lab as well...

We had a lot of firsts in 2009, such as: First new year together, first time teaching primary, first Valentines Day, first pet, first blog, first time working in a restaurant, and first anniversary!

Brenan: "It was a pretty good year"

All-in-all it was a good year, and we worked through all of our moving/trials/unemployment with grace and definitely with The Lord's help. He has truly blessed us and we look forward to a new year together!
