What A Year!!

LJR says -

Well, since we just started this blog and since it is New Years Eve I decided I would write a little about my crazy (but exciting) 2007!
Ok, I'll start with January my birthday!! (sorry, couldn't help but put that!)
Lets see, on February 13 my oldest brother got home from serving an LDS mission in Mesa, Arizona! It was great having him back after only speaking over the phone on Mothers Day and Christmas for the last two years!!
10 days later (Feb. 23) my oldest sister got married to her Ney Jersey sweetheart! Talk about one cold, snowy wedding day!! The snow made the pics really pretty though, cause otherwise it would just be dry and dead looking.
Since her husband is from Ney Jersey, most of our family took a trip out there in June for a wedding reception for all his friends and family there! We were there for about 2 weeks, and we were able to spend a day in New York!!
On September 27 my oldest brother got married! His wife is actually the daughter of the wood shop teacher at school! She waited for him while he was on his mission so we all new it was coming the only question was when was he gonna propose!
Last but deffinetly not least, on December 3rd my second oldest sister and her husband had their first baby!! She is my first neice and she is absolutely gorgeous!!
That was my awesome 2007!! Bring it on 2008!! :)

So, your brother got married after only being home from the mission 6 months?!
I'm sure this sounds romantic to you, but it sounds rather scary to me! (Rather Romeo and Juliet, marriage based on hormones.....)

I'm not really much of the romantic type, at least not @ this age. Guys are ok as friends but crushes & going out and stuff like that just gets in the way of friendships now.
But yeah he did, and it was 7 months - not that it makes much difference but still - she loved him enough to wait for him and neither of them changed too much so when he got home they still had the same personalities & still loved each other!

Why ya Nerd? You still looking? J/K! anyways, you never asked!

Cinisugar, o.k. I'll call you blonde!(Hey, don't look at me you asked for it!) Sorry it confused you, but yes, it would be kinda hard for him to be home, married, and not get home until Feb 13, 2008...just a little confusing! (I'm not sure his mission pres. would appriciate that!) lol! love ya 2!
