TTC
Well after nearly 3 months without a period, AF reared her ugly head today. Such a bittersweet feeling to be honest. Although the tests kept saying negative, I was hoping they were wrong. Could June be our month? Please send us hope. 
Getting Smrt.
Kurt has started attending college 3 nights a week. Its been quite a change for us, but we know that the end result will be worth it. Now if only the long division process would stick!

So my new obsession is Etsy.com. I’ve been perusing the many vendors for weeks now, and have developed a few favorite things *ahem*kurtihopeyou’relistening*ahem*. It really amazes me how many talented people there are! Here are a few of my favorite items.
Happy Etsying!

We ventured to Riverwest to Eriq’s house for a rip-roaring good time! Among the guests was Claire! We were very happy to wish 2008 goodbye. Although there were some very happy occasions, it was a difficult year at best for many close to us. Here’s to 2009! Cheers!
Grandma Elephant
We had a HUGE dinner at Grandma Elephant’s house. The dogs love Grandma…what’s not to love? She gives them treats!
Christmas 2008
Christmas this year was one of those Christmases that makes you realize what it is really all about. To quote How the Grinch Stole Christmas:
Grinch: They’re finding out now that no Christmas is coming.
They’re just waking up, I know just what they’ll do.
Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,
Then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry, “Boo Hoo.”
Narrator: So he paused, And the Grinch put a hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low.
Then it started to grow…
But the sound wasn’t sad!
Why, this sound sounded glad!
[Whos singing]
Narrator: Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN’T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
…
Narrator: And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling:
Grinch: How could it be so?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages boxes, or bags!
Narrator: And he puzzled and puzzed, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before!
“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more.”
This isn’t to say that our Christmas was completely free of gifts…we did get some pretty nice pressies, but all in all, it was nicer to just spend the time with our families.
Merry Christmas!!
Jodi and Kurt
Claire
Jessica and Mike welcomed their first baby into the world on Halloween. She is quite possibly the most precious little girl ever. ^_^
Mo
Not everything can be happy in life, and this was something that no one could’ve seen coming. Melissa “Mo” Ahrens, best friend to Jessica and Mike S., was hit by a drunk driver as she crossed the road near 1st and National. It really put things into perspective for us….don’t live your life like it will never end, but rather as if every day is your last. Our hearts still ache for Mo’s family and friends. We only wish our time together wasn’t so short.
Lauryn!
Best friend Laura adopted Lauryn in April 2008, and we are so happy! Her life is a real miracle in so many ways. Look how far she has come!
Honeymooner
To Greece we go! Our honeymoon was an amazing experience. We were able to spend 2 weeks on the island of Crete, where Jodi spent 2 years of her childhood. The food was too good to describe, and the people were warm and welcoming. After the 2 weeks, it was very hard to say goodbye, but we missed home.
