Apparently I only update my xanga once a year. Oh well. I guess it's a good sign when your life is too full of things to have the time to blog. I'm sure only a couple people even check this anymore, but blogs are really more for the writer than the readers anyway, right? It's the last day of 2008, so I thought I'd do something similar to what I did last year with a little recap. Hey, it's almost like a whole year of entries, right? As usual, I prefer pictures to words, so I'll include my favorite shots as well. January 26: Megan and David's Wedding. Erica and I are bridesmaids! I was terrified that I was going to pass out again during my bridesmaid duties (i.e. my brother's wedding) but I made it through. It was a beautiful wedding.   
March: trip to California with Carla and Laura. Hands down, the best vacation of my life. Many firsts for me: first time on the West Coast, first time seeing the Pacific Ocean, first time renting a car. Sunny weather, fun people, relaxing times. Can it get any better than that? Oh yeah, sneaking into a movie premier and seeing all those celebs close up!      
May 23: My favorite little girl becomes a big sister when baby brother Gavin is born. It's hard to believe how much bigger he is now.  
May 24: Stephanie and Seth tie the knot.  
June 14: Matt and Kelly get married. Are you seeing a trend here?  
June: I start my new job as Marketing Specialist for Harford County Public Library. First task: the 4th of July parades!  
July: I decide that going to a shooting range would be a good date idea. Dan obliges like a good boyfriend. Mayhem ensues.  
August 9: I turn 24. Among the excitement is a brand new Prius (pictured smaller than actual size!) and a trip to Medieval Times!   
August: Girls weekend out in Baltimore. Craziness, of course.  
September: I decide on a whim to look into buying my own place. A few weeks later, I'm a homeowner!  
September 13: I take my Maid of Honor duties seriously and help throw Erica a suprise bridal shower. Months of work, and worth every bit of it!   
October 5: I go to my first Ravens game at the stadium in Baltimore. We lost, but it was lots of fun anyways!   
October 18: Kyle and Kaite get married. My mother meets Gavin (see May 23) for the first time and becomes obsessed.     October 24-25: Erica & Jon's wedding weekend. Oodles of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to be the Maid of Honor, and Erica was the most gorgeous bride ever. Dan actually managed my camera pretty well that weekend.      
November: Gala fundraiser for the Library. I get to dress up for the first time in ages.  
December: Wonderful holidays are had with family and friends.
