January: Dee grandma's sister was here to visit. On one of the weekends we went to the beach and played bingo.
February-April: Brought Valentines Day and Easter, which I have no memory of. I have no clue what we did, if anything, for either of those holidays.
May: In may we took a trip to Multnomah Falls and Bonneville Dam with the girls.
Toward the end of May was Erin's graduation. I was able to take two days off of work to go to Colorado and see her walk across the stage. I am so proud of my little sister.
June was a month of rest. I had sinus and tonsil surgery on the second and spent most of the month just resting and recuperating.
July brought us Independence Day. J's favorite holiday, I think he is a bit of a pyro. The day started out with a BBQ and ended in Washington at the train depot blowing up massive fireworks. It was fantastic! However because it was unplanned, I didn't have my camera.
This was also the month that we took our two trips. The first was to Silver falls. It was a day trip that we took grandma on. We had a ton of fun hiking around and see all of the different waterfalls.
The next trip was a surprise trip for Jesse. I packed up all of our bags while he was at work and then when I went to pick him up I told him that I wanted to go to dinner at a new restaurant. I got on the highway and started driving. He was so funny. He kept asking where we were going and what restaurant. I told him I couldn't remember but I knew how to get there. There really was no restaurant but I drove him all the way to Garibaldi where we stayed for the weekend. After dinner and a good nights sleep we got up and conquered the Tillamook Cheese Factory and the Tillamook Air Museum among many other things.
We also got to see some dumbass bury is Jeep in the sand up to the wheel wells. It was hilarious.
August: In August was J's B-Day. It was pretty quite, no big party just a family dinner with grandma, Paul and J's best friend Brian. I made a Guinness Chocolate Cake and put hot wheels on it to make it look like they were pushing the frosting around like dirt and bought sparklers for candles.
Grandma bought J some water guns and a water fight ensued.
September and October went by without any major events just lots of homework.
November brought Pneumonia and Thanksgiving. Somehow I ended up with pneumonia and was sick most of the month. I was also supposed to host Thanksgiving. J ended up doing most of the work and grandma helped him a ton while I slept. Only waking long enough to eat and go back to bed.
In December I took a day just before finals to relax and spend some time with grandma making Leftsa, a traditional Norwegian bread.
At the end of the month we spent a day in Washington visiting Jesse on the Christmas Train and then we had Christmas dinner at Grandma's house.
