Summary of 2009

As I look back this year I realize that there were a lot of things that we have done or big changes that we have made. I realize this was our first full year of actually being married and we have a lot to talk about when it comes to our life together. Here are some snapshots of this year.

*Kathleen celebrated her 25th birthday.

*Celebrated the life of our landlord Angie who passed away before Christmas last year of lung cancer.

*Andrew celebrated his 26th birthday.

*We went to Napa, California and toured some wineries with our friends the Magsuci's.

*We went to a Houston Rockets versus Sacramento Kings. Got to see Shane Battier play!

*Kathleen spent time up in Oregon for over a month to get health situations figured out.

*Went to Bidwell Park in Chico, California with our friends the Magsuci family.

*Went to San Francisco with our friends the Hostetters to watch a Giants baseball game on July 4th with ending the night at a church 4th of July party.

*Went to see Lion King on Broadway in Sacramento for our first anniversary, which was a gift given to us by Andrew's parents.

*We went to San Francisco with Kathleen's parents at the end of July to go watch a Giants baseball game and walk around San Francisco. Ended the night with us getting lost trying to meet up with my parents who went back to get the car.

*We went to a Sacramento Rivercats baseball game with our landlord Ray, his daughter Pam and her husband Kevin, his oldest daughter Kristina with her husband Eric and son Aiden, and Andrew's dad.

*Kathleen moved to Gresham, Oregon in August while Andrew stayed in Sacramento, California.

*Kathleen participated in her alumni soccer game at Corban College. She might be officially retired now.

*We were able to see Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D.

*Andrew completed his first master's degree (MABTS).

*Kathleen was able to work by substitute teaching, babysitting, and working for the Portland Spirit for money to save.

*Spent countless of hours together do to neither of us having jobs in California.

There are a lot of changes that have happened this past year, but we are glad God is leading us in each of these directions. Plenty of change, but we hope 2010 will be even more memorable and we are able to be settled for a bit here in Oregon until the next God leading change.

Wrap Up

Things that have kept us busy the past few weeks.

*We went to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert on November 20th.

*We spent Thanksgiving with my family.

*We went black Friday shopping which we got some good deals.

*We (I mean Andrew) stood in line to get a sofa at IKEA the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Later that night after hanging out at the Woodburn Outlets with friends, we went back to IKEA to get some pillows. Very disappointed in HomeGoods in their stock of pillows.

*We viewed two places to live which both of them turned out to be both no.

*Andrew was able to register for classes up here at Western Seminary.

*We are both finishing our classes with only a few weeks left.

*We are getting excited for 2011 because this is coming! I think we are going to try to save our money for it.

*Working at the Portland Spirit on the weekends and subbing during the week.
