2007 Year-In-Review
I wanted to look back over the year and try to remember anything major (or not-so major) that happened in my life this year. I like the idea of blogging about it, because it's been too long since I've posted anything, and it makes a nice place to refer back later if I can't remember something that has happened.
Monthly Review
January:
- I went to visit my friends in Idaho. On my way home my car broke down in the middle of nowhere on a really cold night.
- Tori, one of my best friends from High School was visiting her family and a group of us high school friends got together for lunch.

- Julie, Cassie, and I had a cousins weekend in Salt Lake City.
- I turned 29, YUCK!
- The Manwarings came to visit from Ohio for Anna Marie's baptism.
- My parents and Katie came to visit. My dad took my mom and I to Antelope Island; it was my first time going there, and I was amazed at how big it was.
April:
- My immediate family, plus Cassie and Grandma Rae, dyed 10 dozen eggs for Easter, and Cassie, Jenny, Katie, and I made our parents hide eggs at Grandma's, like they used to, so we could have our own Easter Egg hunt.

- John's birthday...I'm not exactly sure of his age, but I'm thinking 40 (I'm pretty sure he's 8 years older than Jen).

August:
- Kristi and Ronnie took my dad, Katie, and I on a river trip through Split Mountain...it was so much fun!!

October:

November:
- Kristi turned 31.

December:
- My parents celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary in December
- My mom turned 57.
- Mike finally sent me his old PS2.
- I had an excellent Christmas!! I got an iPod from my parents and Kristi and Ronnie. Plus, I bought myself Guitar Hero.
Remington was born to Christina and Wes, but I'm not exactly sure of the date. I hope I didn't miss any of my cousin's babies, but I probably did. It's so hard to keep track these days. If anyone knows of any babies I missed, please let me know so I can add them to the list...thanks!!

Do you have all this stuff recorded in your journal? I love how you did a month-by-month recap. It was so fun to read over and relive some of the events. I'm going to print it off and keep it.
You gave me a really good idea. I'm going to try and post a month in review from now on. Great way to keep up on my journaling.
Booklogged, as I was writing this, I was thinking that I would like to a month in review every month. Most of the stuff I have on here I only remember because I have pictures of the events. I think I would have been able to remember a lot more if I did this every month. Maybe we'll start a trend. :)
A month review would be a good idea! Then I can be assured of at least one new post a month from you! Yipee! :)
I liked that you separated your events into months, too. Sounds like a good year. Glad we got to get together a few times!
Oh, and I really had fun this weekend - thanks!
So, what did you do when the car broke down? I don't remember this blog. Maybe I'll have to go check it out...
What a year! Takes my breath away just to think about it. Thanks for all the reminders. Live is good aint it?
A month in review is a good idea, but January is half through and I don't have anything to review. Still, I think I will go along with this idea. PS. Lincoln was born in September.
Cardine, I called a tow truck, and thank goodness my insurance covers towing because the bill was BIG! It took him about 3 hours to get to me and I was pretty cold by that time. I had to stay the night in Burley, ID and get my alternator replaced the next day.
Framed, thanks! I couldn't remember the exact date, but I wanted to put Lincoln in there. I've fixed it now.
