Christmas 2007...Here Comes 2008

Well Christmas 2007 has come and gone, and I am now almost a week into 2008. And Oh what a week its been. First and foremost, I had a great Christmas at home with family. We were able to share our Christmas morning with my brother and new sister-in-law. Then we had dinner and enjoyed an evening of games with some of my extended family on my mom's side. I've included some pictures of us having a good time at the end of my blog. This is actually my first time on the internet in 28 hours. After having a large storm hit Chico, we went without power for 28 hours. Yes, we barbequed hot dogs, played games by candlelight and slept in the pitch black. Unfortunately, this meant I was unable to get my wisdom teeth out as my appointment was scheduled just two hours after our power went out initially. Oh, well I guess I will just have to ruin a different vacation with that experience.

That's all for now.

Kyle and Megan Walling

Well after around five years of dating, my brother and his girlfriend finally tied the knot and headed off to Costa Rica for their honeymoon. It was a GORGEOUS Sunday afternoon on November 4, 2007 when they walked down the aisle and said their vows. Much of our family was there as the bride and groom grinned their way through the ceremony. It was a whirlwind weekend as I flew in on Thursday afternoon and left on Monday morning...arriving as one of three...and leaving as one of four. I have some pictures now, and more to come.

The new whole family.

The wedding party.

The newlyweds.

Just us.

Back in Fullerton

Back at school, back on track. Since August 2nd I've been back in Fullerton, and I just finished my third week of classes. Things are going well, I like most of my classes, which is pretty much all that you can ask for. And my roommate situation is the best I could ask for. Highlights so far have been the Sawdust Festival, barbeque at Trish's, hanging out with roommates, seeing 'Knocked Up' on campus, the beach, Darren and Charlie's birthday party, and soccer games. Here are some pictures from my first few weeks.

Cousin's Wedding

June 16, 2007 Sarah Dolan, my cousin, became Sarah Van Hout when she married Devin Van Hout, my new cousin. What an amazing event for our family to host. In my true style I made the 'Save the Date' cards, invitations, and programs. I also acted as wedding coordinator on the day of. The wedding was gorgeous and our family looked amazing. Here are some pictures for now, more will follow.

Birthday Dinner

So for my twentieth birthday this year I decided to have dinner with twenty of my closest friends in southern California. Thanks to some special friends, we made a pasta dinner and set up a quiet dinner in Jeff's apartment. It was such a blast. Here are some pictures.
