While I am at it, what was 2008?

Really, while I am logged into Blogspot, why not do a quick recap of my 2008? It might take me a while to recall everything but isn't that what a blog is about?

January - Me and the gang when to one of the amazing wonders of the world: Disneyworld in Orlando! We had a great time for over a week of just hanging out, riding all of the roller coasters (with me laughing like a deranged nut), eating and shopping. Unfortunately the trip back had issues with the airport that myself and Significant Other (SigOt) were stuck in the Salt Lake City airport. That is when we heard of the kidnapping (and later murder) of Brianna.

February- Just another lonely Valentine's. My SigOt is not the romantic type so there was no quiet dinner together or card. He did get me a rose though, which did take some thought and planning on his part.

March - It was Lucky's birthday and we had a great time. We did lunch as a group at the Stonehouse cafe and then the movies! We went and saw "The other Boleyn Girl" which is based on a novel by Phillipa Gregory. I really wanted to watch it because a) I am really into Tudor history (you know, King Henry the VIII and his 6 wives) and b) I read the book twice. However, the movie sucked! Nothing like the book.

April - Not much remembered here....

May - The SigOt and I went to Hawaii for a week. It was a blast, although if I had my choice and some money I would definitely do the first class thing. It was a long time on a plane and a bit scary since I never have flown over the ocean. I had to make sure I paid extra special attention to the whole 'your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device in case of an emergency landing on water' . But we had a great time just hanging out. We stayed in Waikiki and we both felt it was like going to Las Vegas but on an island. Next time we would love to do North Shore or a different island to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of the islands.

June - Our first anniversary! Didn't do much as it was in the middle of the week but we made it!!!

July - Not much...

August - Not much. Just got back into the grove of working at the University and the return of over time at the football games. Lucky and Happy (this was Happy's first year with working the events) and I got to work the games together and had a blast! Oh, Lucky sometime during the season got stung by a bee! It might have occurred in September but we will leave it at that. So Lucky was working and then there was something on her arm and she swatted it. Well, needless to say that the bee had stung her and when she hit it, the stinger stayed in the arm. Happy tried to assist and ended up squashing the bee with her show. We eventually had Ron help to get the stinger out and she went to the office to get some weird spray put on the sting. Yep, we learned what to do in case of a sting and that she isn't allergic to the bees. Now Ron calls her Ms. Bee!

September - Other than it being Happy's and my birthday, I don't remember much as to what happened. No trips, nada. Oh, but by September we had booked our cruise and Happy and I made sure to get our passports, which I got by the end of the month.

October - Happy and Lucky went to a crazy Halloween party while I sat at home (my choice of course) in the dark to avoid the lurking trick-or-treaters. I didn't feel like spending money on the candy so I didn't buy any! So Happy and Lucky went to the party. Lucky was a pirate and Happy was the reincarnation of her boss! I think the theme was to represent holidays but from the pictures that I saw, some people had some weird interpretations. Lucky was representing Pirates day (duh) and Happy was Boss' day. There was another pirate (trampy pirates were allowed) and some other odd interpretations.

November - Thanksgiving with the in-laws. My SigOt brother came home from training to have the holiday with us. He was shipped out to Afghanistan at the end of the weekend to begin his one year tour there with the Medi-vac unit. Our thoughts and prayers for a safe and speedy return are with him.

December - Spend the holiday's with my parents. Had a great week off and just chilled. It was nice to have a quiet end to the year. Now I am just waiting for February for the cruise!
