Happy 2009!

Happy New Year! Rob and I spent New Year's Eve together (luckily he was able to switch out the night with a guy at work who wanted the holiday pay so he didn't have to work)...we watched a lil football (but nothing compared to today!), the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the tape delay of the ball dropping in NY. It's a lil strange to think that the majority of ya'll reading this were living in 2009 while we were still in 2008! It was a quiet, calm end to a crazy year. It's hard to believe sometimes that so much happened in 2008. Looking back, I began last year relatively content with a job in fundraising and was newly engaged, planning a 2009 wedding. How things have changed. 5 weddings (one of which was our own), 4 heart walks, 3 helicopter licenses/ratings, 2 Praxis exams and 1 road trip across the country later, Rob is certified to instruct helicopter students, I am gearing up for my student teaching and we are both living together in Phoenix. Wow. I've spent the better part of today compiling pictures into a slideshow of the past year of our lives. (Also, watching an obscene amount of football bowl games and eating delicious pulled bbq pork sandwiches...we finally put our crock pot to good use! It has been a fantastic lazy day.) I really wanted background music, but that wasn't an option with the free version of the software, but clicking on the picture below should open the slideshow in its own window, which will allow for bigger pictures than you can usually view on the blog. Enjoy!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Last, but not least, I feel that I should mention now (while it still lasts) that the Andrasiks are doing remarkably well in Dad's bowl pool. We were in first place this morning, but were knocked down to second with Clemson's loss. Hopefully we can pull back through for a victory!

Hoping 2009 is off to a fabulous start for everyone! Love, Sarah and Rob
