peace out 2008

and here we are, another new year's eve. i'm a nostalgic sap so i always get a little reminiscent this time of year -- i love all the video montages on tv that show everything that happened in the world in the past year, and on a personal level i love to remember everything we did and tried and learned. i love looking back at where i've grown, and looking ahead to what's next.

so here's a little 2008 recap from the payzant-wells home:

• we left our very first apartment in west LA and moved to lovely pasadena
• i traveled to victorville, san diego, san diego, georgia, new york city, and georgia for work
• brandon traveled to scottsdale, san francisco, austin, and san francisco (and got three hours of sleep a night while here in LA) for work
• together, we traveled to germany, austria, switzerland, france, mexico, utah, arizona....whew!
• my favorite sister married the fantastic jesse holdaway
  
• my hero and one of the most amazing people ever, president hinckley (former pres of the LDS church) passed away at age 97
• i was featured in the march issue of real simple magazine
• my favorite brother turned 18
• i chopped off all my hair
• i got my first (and only) wisdom tooth pulled
• brandon helped launch the ever-amazing wii fit
• celebrated our two year anniversary! (i was away on a work trip, natch)

i really think this was one of our best years yet. life is never perfect or stress-free, but i feel truly lucky to have so many wonderful friends, a great family, an amazing husband and a fun life. thanks for all the love and support you've all given us throughout the past year... i can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us!

happy new year from us to you! talk to you next year :)
