The BIG 24!!!

Hello familia and friendlies! Sorry I've been slacking on our blog, I usually keep my facebook page pretty up-to-date with pics and whatnot so I will try to update this one as well with Christmas pics and Banbury family happenings. Today is my day of birth, number 24! So I thought in lieu of it being my birthday I would share the highlights of my past 23rd year.

  • Went to Hawaii for Chris and Cheryl's wedding! It was so neat to be in the sealing room at the Hawaii temple with the whole family, minus the kids of course. Trey and I also found a new love, boogie boarding! It was a blast!
  • Moved downstairs to a bigger apartment - we LOVE having so much space. We figure we better enjoy it while it lasts because I don't think our apartment at med school is going to be very roomy.
  • GRADUATED!!! from Utah State with a pretty good GPA. It took 5 years but I finally made it, yay!!

  • Graduation road trip to Santa Cruz to visit Chris and Cheryl. Harry Potter kept us entertained on the ride there and back. We had such a good time. The Mystery Spot, In And Out Burger(we ate there so much!), San Fran, Six Flags, Maryann's Ice Cream, Haight and Ashbury, Big Foot museum, Sessions outlet, and the fireworks over the bay were all freaking awesome. Thanks for showing us such a good time guys!

  • After a tireless month of job hunting, I finally found a decent job in Logan. Good old Icon. My boss is really laid back and I love the girl I work with. We have alot of fun. The perks aren't too bad either ;)
  • Trey and I celebrated our first anniversary. We stayed at a cute little bed and breakfast in SLC and saw a cool 3-D IMAX movie that day. I recommend 'Deep Blue Sea' for the sole reason that the jelly fish look like they are 2 inches from your face. It was funny to look around at everyone trying to grab them.
  • My parents left on their mission to Rochester, NY. It's been hard because I miss seeing them but great to hear about all the awesome work they are doing. They are very busy missionaries!
  • Trey kicked butt on the MCAT! That sure made me proud. I was happy to see him do so well and also happy that he was done studying for it so I could have my husband back.
  • We finally got health and dental insurance! I feel good about that. We finally got our teeth cleaned...too bad I have a cavity! Argh!
  • We hosted our first party as married people! The Banbury Bones and Stones Halloween Bash was a hit! See the pics below. Trey and his buddy Mike put on a concert in our living room. We were rockin'.

It's been a good year! I wonder what this year will bring...

michelle, not a bad start on your personal history. make a copy for posterity. Don't forget uncle Lynn at Icon. I think his son john is back from china and works there in Logan. Have you met him?
