I cannot believe we're already six days into 2009!! So many things happened in 2008.
Also in February, was Valentines day :) Rich took me to the Gamekeeper where I ate foods I had never had before! Like rattlesnake, ostrich, bison and more! And by the way, I liked them all!
with the blanket and making Nolan laugh. Grandma Clark also came along for the vacation and I know she enjoyed spending time with her great-grandson and grandchildren. I enjoyed somewhat of a break, by getting to relax on the beach! Here are some photo memories from the trip.
January 14, 2008 Rich and I welcomed our first son, Nolan into the world! He was (and still is) such a beautiful baby. This is one of the first pictures after he was born. He was born in Boone, North Carolina at Watauga Medical Center. It was snowing the day he was born and the day we brought him home from the hospital. We had so much help from family and so many visitors. Nolan's birth was such a wonderful time.
My mother-in-law turned the big 60 on February 16th and we had a big party for her at JoJo's China Bistro. It was a great time with all of her friends and family. Here's a picture from her birthday party.

In June 2008, Nolan had his first beach trip!! We went to Oak Island, NC and stayed at my mom's friends ocean front house. At first, Nolan was 
unsure of the ocean and he cried when i stuck his toes in the rushing water. After a couple of attempts he smiled when his toes grazed the water. Nolan sat the Baby Bjorn for morning walks up the coast--I think that was his favorite time. My mom's favorite part of the trip was rocking Nolan to sleep on the back porch. She and my sister had a blast playing peek-a-boo

And he and I also had our first night away from the baby in July. We went camping by Hunt Fish Falls in Linville, NC. It wasn't quite as peaceful as I had hoped for. I had a little too much to drink and started freaking out about bears.. haha!! The food was good though! Rich cooked steaks, yum.
In August, Nolan had his second beach trip! This time to Gulf Shores, Alabama with Rich's side of the family. It was like a
huge family reunion. Nolan got to meet tons of cousins, aunts and uncles. He went swimming in a pool for the first time! He loved it! Also, on this trip, my sister-in-law got engaged!! So exciting. Here are some pictures from the trip.

In October we moved to Georgia. It's quite a change from the mountains of NC. We're in a small town close to the city. I miss having hiking trails and the mountains right outside my back door. But the trade off is having my husband enjoy his work and be happy--so it's worth it :)
On December 2nd, I had my 25th birthday! Which I wrote about in the previous entry.
All in all it was a great year.
