I decided that I would be like Kimber, and make this blog my journal for the year. Therefore, I thought it was only right to start at the beginning of the year.
We started our 2008 with John, Jake and Jess, and Kathy and Jed. John had been staying at our house for the week which I can honestly say was a blast. I have complained that I hate having an extra bathroom to clean, but I am now so grateful for that blessed bathroom! With all of the guests we have had lately, having an official guest room and extra bathroom have been a huge blessing. As a result, I was sad to see John go, even after having him for an entire week. Rather than feeling like my home was being taken over, he had his own space, and we could just enjoy spending time together. So if you are going to have visitors, I highly recommend having a room and bathroom for them. :)
On his last day here (Jan 1) we decided to take him to Powell's Bookstore. It is the largest independent bookstore in the United States (how cool is that!) They sell used and new books on the same shelves. We only stayed for an hour or so and all I saw was a section of the children's books! It's so cool that Mike and I are planning a date without the boys just to go browsing for a few hours. Needless to say, John was in heaven-I don't think we could have taken him to anything he would have liked more.
After the bookstore, we went to see the Portland Temple and then ate at Chili's. We then proceeded to pay games all night and in true Fullmer fashion, stayed up way too late. What a fun way to start out our New Year.

Yeah! I am so excited that you have a blog. I feel like I will know what is going on your life now. I love getting your web albums but I know there is always more of a story behind the pictures. And those are the big events...I want to know about the every day events of your life too.
Sounds like you had a great time with John. And your New Year's sounds like it was a blast. James and I totally want to come to that bookstore.
I'm so glad I get to peek in at your blog journal. And I'm sorry you have to live them for me to read them, but I love the 'Kate Moments'. You just really have a great attitude about it all. When I grow up I want to be just like you! :)
Wahoo! Now I get to read about all my sisters. I was hoping you'd join in. I'm also looking forward to those "Kate Moments".
I love that you stayed up and played in true Fullmer fashion. I actually had to ask Dragon to stop playing the x-box and turn on the TV so we could watch the ball drop. Then he went back to playing his game. Real exciting.
