Well, 2009 was a crazy year for us. It actually started the week before Christmas 2008, when we officially all moved to Winnemucca, Nevada (a town of about 10,000 people). A BIG change from the bright lights of Vegas…..but we did it. We made it just in time for Jessica to get the tree set up. It was a different Christmas last year, not having too many members of the family around and still trying to unpack.
In February, Adam was in the hospital for most of it. That was a trying month. No, they still have never fully diagnosed the stomach and bleeding issues that Adam had, but he went into the hospital around the 10th of February and was released on the last day of the month. Everything is good now……If you want to see some pictures and read up on that, you can see those on the February blog posts.
In May, Jessica and Adam went to Belgium and England for 2 weeks. This was the first time that Adam was able to go back to England since his mission and was for our 15 year anniversary. We spent 3 days with Ed, Shannon and family, saw some great WWII sites and got some Belgium chocolate…..yum!!! Then it was off to England where we went around London, to Stonehenge, to Warwick Castle, saw Uncle George, the Lake District, the Preston and London Temples, saw Adam’s Mission President (who is the President of the Preston MTC), a tour of Old Trafford Stadium (where Man U plays) and a trip to Lime Park (OH Mr. Darcy)!!!! All these pictures are also on our older blog posts.
The summer was packed with trips to Lake Powell and Megan’s wedding....lots and lots of traveling. The fall brought soccer for Jaris, James and Kyra (her first year), where Jaris’ team won the 20th annual U12 tournament, which qualified them to play in a tournament in San Francisco. They played in that in December, and lost, but had a great time.
That brings us to Christmas 2009. The year has been great! We have had so many fun times this year. We’ve posted some of the 2009 Christmas morning pictures below you may enjoy! Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!
