2004 Recap!

January - January started great because I was at home celebrating Christmas (2003) and with my family and playing with Logan. He got so big! Patriots won the super bowl!

February - Typical valentines day month. Got our kitty from Jenn at work. Everything revolved around work. Started considering owning a house. Panicked about the thought of money, put the idea off for a bit. Found out P was pregnant!

March - Found out that Erika was pregnant. Started to actually go out and look at houses. Panicked about the thought of money, put the idea off for a bit.

April - Is it possible to do NOTHING through the entire month? Seriously started looking at houses - stopped panicking and stopped looking at the checkbook.

May - My birthday month - We signed our agreement on my birthday for the house, what a present that was to myself! Got the offer accepted and closed deed on May 28th, moved right in (well, not really - had a lot of house work to do first.) Spent all of memorial day weekend taking down wallpaper.

June - June came in, wallpaper, carpet, counter tops went out. A lot of renovations went on during June. I think we officially moved in during mid-june. We did a lot of painting and a LOT of cleaning/organizing/shopping. Got a second job for extra cash (so I could stop panicking!)

July - Still spending a lot of time cleaning and painting and prepping the house for our house warming party in august. C was born, went to meet him

August - Family came out for a visit! Well, mom, David, Logan came out to visit. It was so nice to see them :) Party went well. Went on a river boat cruise, went to a twins game, went to a swanky fancy restaurant, went to a museum, went to a zoo...when the trip was done, i slept. I took well over 200 pictures while Avery was here though....i love digital cameras and yahoo photo albums! Met the future TFM members. The g/f's brother moved to Arizona

September - The g/f's birthday planed a surprise for her present with my mom - Cher tickets. Did more work on the house, this would be the last month that we would do work on the house until at least the new year (as of time writing this, still no idea when I'll get back to painting and unfinished projects). Hailey was born!

October - Had our first game-night at our house, it was fun. P's baby was born and we went to visit her. Halloween, of course!

November - Went to see Cher for the g/f's birthday present. Thanksgiving weekend we were at the g/f's parents, The g/f's brother was home for a visit and the holiday

December - Nothing yet! Planning the trip home, planning the holidays.
