A New Year and a Blast from the Past

I can't believe that it's 2008 already! I had to write the date for the first time today at work, and was astounded by how weird it felt to write it. I feel like our lives have been traveling at warp speed when I think back to where we were and what we were doing at this time last year. 2000 miles away in North Carolina, I was beginning my last year at East Carolina U., Layne was neck deep in the his land development business and moving to Utah was merely a hiss and a by word at the time. So much has happened since then, some bad, mostly good, but its the speed with which it has all transpired that is so mind boggling. Every year that we've been married, Layne has had a slogan. Break free in '03, Score in '04, Come alive in '05, In the mix in '06 ('07 is escaping me) and this year it's Make it great in '08. I certainly hope that will be the case. In spite of the many changes that took place last year, this year could be the biggest life changer of all. Only time will tell, but Layne and I both feel it. So here's to living in the moment, remembering the past and enjoying the ride! Happy New Year!


I've been trying little by little to scan old family photos into my computer so I have a permanent record, and I thought in the spirit of new years that I'd share a little blast from my past. I may start posting one of these old pictures a week just for fun. We'll start with one and see how it goes. I don't remember what the date on this was, but it must be in Denver. I think dad was baiting a chipmunk. It's so fun to see pictures of my dad at the age I am now.
