Happy New Year

We hope everyone had a wonderful new year. We are looking forward to 2009. 2008 was filled with joy and many trials. We celebrated the birth of our beautiful baby Ben and rejoiced as Jeanne left for her mission. We were saddened by the illnesses of several family members, but are glad to know they are feeling better. Also, the greatest trial of our marriage so far, Brandon getting injured at work. He continues to improve and has been working full time for a while now and loves it. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and how hard he has been working to get better. There have been many struggles and challenges, but we just continue pushing forward. We are blessed to know that our Savior Jesus Christ is there to help us and that a loving Heavenly Father understands our pain. We know that this next year will be much better.
We are continually surrounded by many loving family and friends.

We had a great new years eve. We again went over to Darrick and Betty's house. Betty made another feast. The kids played and had fun. We watched a couple movies and went home at about 11. I don't think Kaitlyn and Ben could have handled much more. They both crashed on the way home. The next morning we all slept in, and they later that day we went for a drive. We were looking for elk in Woodruff, Utah. Brandon has an elk tag and is getting anxious to fill it.

We hope everyone had a joyous holiday season, and wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year. We love you.
