All in all, it has been a very eventful year. So much has happened and I am sad to see it go. I have many goals for 2010 and I am so excited to see what is in store for our little family...new jobs? New home? New baby? I don't know for now, but am happy to have Chad by my side. He makes life so exciting and wonderful! 2010, here we come!!

Make A Wish

This 3yr old boy might not see 2010, so Santa came early and gave him a car and took the whole family to Disneyland! It was an awesome feeling helping grant Kolton's wish!!!

Kinder Chronicles

Teacher: "Kids, what is this picture?" (looking at the picture, completely confused herself)

Student 1: "It's that thing you put your boobs into!"

Student 2: "It's a bra!!"

Oh boy.

The Metz Family Photo

We just got a gorillapod (mini tripod) so we set it up and took this funny pic of our family of 2+. Katie and I are such Christmas freaks that we set up our tree the Saturday before Thanksgiving! We switch families every year for Christmas so this year we will be in Utah with my family last year when I proposed we were with the Cox family. I slept on a lazy boy that year it was great, until the back and neck started hurting. lol. I just didn't have it in me to leave Katie and her family's place on Christmas eve. The best part about Christmas last year was surprising Katie with an engagement ring. She thought I was going to propose on New Years Eve which was my original plan but I just couldn't wait and her sister Tiffany wouldn't have been around for all that fun! Katie really had no idea it was coming so when she saw the ring she was so overwhelmed she started to cry but I on the other hand was so proud of myself tricking her I started to laugh. Oh man, good times!
