2 years and counting

Time for an update! Wow! Since I posted the "Thank Zoo" trip photos a LOT has happened! That was right after Thanksgiving 2007, so here's a quick glance at the last 4 months:

December 2007
Awesome Christmas at home. Christmas Eve was at church with a really cool, special service. Then Christmas Day I was bent on taking Christopher to see the Polar Express at the IMAX theater. Adam knew it was more for me than for our almost-2-year-old son, but we went anyway. Guess what? He HATED it!! (Christopher, not Adam) :-) We had to walk out. The enormous sights and sounds of the IMAX were a bit too much for a little guy. They were almost a little bit much for me! :-) So, that Christmas idea might have to wait a few more years. (He's fine with other movies, though. We took him to see "Horton Hears a Who" a few weeks ago and he really enjoyed it! He likes elephants, so that probably helped.)

New Year's Eve we celebrated with friend's of Eli & Celest. It was SO COOL! We had a blast playing Guitar Hero, singing, all our kids running around the house, talking, laughing, getting to know each other better. We had so much fun, pretty much the same group of people got together for a Super Bowl party in February! FUN TIMES!! :-)

January 2008
Trip to PUERTO RICO!! WOO-HOO!!! I was SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS TRIP I COULD WRITE THIS WHOLE PARAGRAPH IN ALL CAPS, but that would be annoying, right? I'll just say it was AWESOME!!!! :-) We squeezed into 10 days as many visits to friends and family as possible. It was too little. I can't wait to get back to see all the fam, plus Stacey & Joel (& Jonathan, David, Seth & Shayna), Brenda & Dan (& Evan & Joseph) & everyone else! And of course, I can't forget Rey & Vane & the Coppelia Band. :-) I miss all you guys!!! We had SO MUCH FUN! Plus, it was so cool to do Christopher's 2nd birthday there. :-) Let's do it all again next year!
We came back from PR (Adam couldn't wait to get back! He loves it here in CA. I do, too but the PR trip was SO COOL!!!) :-)
So we came back from PR and we had our 4th wedding anniversary! TE AMO, BABE!! We had spent a bit o' $$$ on the trip, so we couldn't really splurge. But if you read the Christmas part of this post, you saw that I have this thing for IMAX movies. I found out that they were showing the U2:3D movie at the IMAX in Sacramento. So on our 4th Anniversary date, we went to a really cool sort of swanky restaurant next to the IMAX. We had appetizers to stay within budget...and so we wouldn't be late for the movie. It was super fun! We sat in the bar next to this couple who were obviously trying to impress each other. It was fun for us to compare how comfortable we are with each other vs. how sort of awkward they were being with each other. I thank the Lord for my wonderful husband, best friend, person I so enjoy spending my life with! :) TE AMO otra vez, BABE!! And needless to say, the U2:3D concert ROCKED!!! It was AMAZING!! We had an AMAZING time!!!! :-)

It's almost 8pm and I really have to go to bed...but a lot of cool things happened in February and March, so I have to come back for those. And hopefully soon, I'll be able to post pictures to accompany all these stories. :)

It's all because of Jesus I'm alive
It's all because the blood of Jesus Christ
Covered me and raised this dead woman's life yeah
It's all because of Jesus I'm alive!
