My Mom visits us in TN - my Uncle Randy comes a week later to see his son in Alabama - we all go to Talladega.

Chas moves to Tennessee, meets a girl, moves in with her, and finds out their pregnant with baby boy!

John and I discovered the BEST hotdog stand - I dream of Weenie.

Gas prices are sky high - tops out over $4.00 a gallon.

We put our house up for sale - 2 weeks later it sold. We move back to Cali.

John and I drove both cars with dogs in tow to California. It took 3 days.

We met Brandon for dinner in Albuquerque, New Mexico during our drive back.

John works for City of Riverside.

Holly had a baby girl named Jenna.

Kelly has been out of High School for 10 years!

We buy a house in Temecula.

John and I take Maddy to Oak Glen to pick apples and a pumpkin.

The first Black man is elected for President - Barack Obama.

John is co-authoring a book with his brother Willie.

We celebrate my sister's birthday at Medieval Times with whole family. I embarrass her by having the King call her up to stage in front of everyone! :)

I read the best Vampire series - Twilight.

The world is going through a financial crisis!

We drive to La Jolla and find a really great seafood place on the water.

We celebrate our first Christmas in our new home.

John and his brother are writing a Spring software book - it's being published by Manning - which is one of the top publishers. Anyway I'm probably not explaining it right. John always laughs when I try to explain his work. It's just easier to say he's my little computer geek! LOL :)
