Happy New Year 2008

Well what a wild year it has been. We had such a great year and have grown so much. We survived another year in Oklahoma and missed out on the ice storm that came through the beginning of the month. YEAH!!! We have had only 1 tornado warning and that was the first year we were here so I'm grateful that this year didn't bring us nearly as bad of storms. We were able to enjoy a week and a half in Utah to attend my brother's wedding and to see friends. We also spend a week in St. Louis during Easter to attend my Sister-in-law's wedding and enjoy the Babcock side of the family. Shortly after we got back TJ went to visit with a Tyson plant in PA, and was offered a job but was not approved as it was a same level transfer and Tyson believes that its stealing talent from other plants when they want to transfer like that. Well TJ has kept in great contact with them and has built a great relationship with them and has applied for a GPM position there and will be going back to PA tomorrow (Wednesday) to do his final interview with the Complex Manager. So keep us in your prayers that we will have good new and we will be able to move there and be closer to TJ's parents who will only be 5 hrs away in stead of many many more. We had a pretty boring new years as we didn't have some place to go or any people coming over. So we had our only little party with the kids, we went to sonic and got ice cream, came back and played the Wii and then watched New Year's Rockin' Eve with Dick Clark, for some reason we watched the ball drop at 11 our time 12 NY time and they didn't show the ball drop again here so I'm glad that I got to see it even if it wasn't midnight yet. The new ball is so cool!!!! Tanner was asleep long before any of the excitement happened and Makena fell asleep shortly before midnight,(she has always been our night owl) I fell asleep short before midnight too and told TJ to wake me up and he did. We went to sleep shortly after. I know I know we are such party poopers. I hope that this new year will bring many new adventures and lots of surprises. I will keep everyone posted about the Job and will hopefully be posting with really good news!!


Have a safe and happy 2008
