2009

Happy new year!
All of our friends were gone, so Sam and I happily spent new years just the two of us (plus a baby). We got some shopping done and watched a movie. Because of the movie, we weren't paying attention to time too well, so we were lucky that I randomly looked at the clock when it said 11:59. We just barely had enough time to switch back to the TV to see the ball drop and whatnot. We drank some martinelli's and called ourselves officially (and rather lamely) new-yeared.
I'm realizing almost every day now that our time in provo grows short. We already had our last Utah summer and fall, and now this was our last christmas here. It's really sad, I've lived here for 8 years! Anyway, I'm trying to make sure we do all of the Utahy things we can while we're still here. This effort included going to salt lake to see the lights for the last time. We met up with our friends Becca and Rob and ate at "the pie" pizzeria (which is to die for), then bundled up to see the lights.

And here's Addie to wish you a happy new year:


Here are some random dates that today being 2009 made me realize:

• Addie will more than likely graduate from high school in 2026
• If she gets married when she's 22, she will be married in 2030.
• The current life expectancy in the US is 78, so Addie *fingers crossed* could easily live to see 2086!!!
