2008: A year in pictures Part II

July

Ryan moved to a new salon, I focused on my new position...and surely some other things that I forgot to photograph.

August

Ryan turned 30 and we celebrated with our first big party at the house...



...and Grete refined her present-hunting abilities...



September

Travel time! We went to Cancun as Ryan's birthday present for a 5-day relax-fest. Although it was a little windy and rainy from passing Hurricane Ike, we got plenty of sun, beer, and reading...



...and robe/slipper-wearing...



October

We turned over the rent house and gave it a few weeks of solid love before Jeff and Steve moved in - having them around is so wonderful - and I think we finally appreciated the great bones of this house.





...oh, and then Ryan shaved his head!



November

Both sets of parental units in the same month! My parents came down to Texas to visit my brother and me...they finally got a taste of my Rinderrouladen...



...and Ryan's parents joined us for Thanksgiving and beyond...



December

The trip - oh, the trip!













...and then to Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve...



...and to now. It was a very good year.

Tschüß!!
