2008 Summed Up

I've seen this survey on some other blogs, and I like it, plus I haven't done one in a while. So here is my 2008 summed up in the following responses.

Me? Never!
Where did you go on vacation?
Moses Lake, Washington, Arizona, and Huntington Beach, California - so fun!

I made a big dinner with manicotti and pie and had two of my sisters and family over. They give me a hard time about having gone to all the trouble for my own birthday dinner, but I love having them around, it was worth it!
What's the one thing you thought you would never do but did in 2008?
Own a minivan, become a canning fanatic, brave 96 degree weather for a full day at Disneyland with barely one-year old twins!

The week we spent in California was fabulous, I loved being back in Arizona for Thanksgiving, and Phil now has every other Friday off so I really enjoy that time with him.
