2006 In Review

Wow, another year gone by. Does anyone ever feel that the older we get the faster the years start to go by?

A quick recap of my year:

January - Alanna (after begging us for five months) was baptised at Elim. Originally we thought she might be too young to catch the real meaning behind being baptised. But after alot of persuasion on her part we realized - who are we to stop someone from being baptised no matter how young they are.

March - Was our very first wedding anniversary. We didn't do to much but we didn't need to.

April - My cousin Scott got married. This was the first of six weddings that we were invited to this year.

May - We celebrated Jonny's 30th birthday. We had a picnic in my parents backyard. By the end of the night is was just the Eagle's, the Barnstable's, and the Gibson's freezing our buns off around the fire pit sharing a single chocolate bar that Jonny got for his birthday. I believe that was his only gift. lol

June - My beautiful baby girl Emerie Ruth was born on June 9th. Not, of course, without two weeks of false labor first. There was also Geetan's wedding, as well as Jonny's old girlfriends wedding that we DJ'd - I know some of you will remember me talking about that.

July - Courtney and Lee got married. Jonny was the MC, we had a lot of fun because Jonny and I wrote a song for them which Jonny performed right before the dance started. Tim's 30th birthday was in and around here somewhere - I can't remember which month it was exactly because as you all know I lost my marbles after having the baby. Still looking for them if anyone happens to see them.

August - My beautiful big girl Alanna Denise celebrated birthday number 7 on August 9th. My cousin Shannon was also married this month. I just realized that there may have been another wedding that I haven't mentioned that happened before this point and I can't for the life of me remember who it is. If it is someone that reads my blog - I am SO SORRY! Although I think this was the month that my cousin Elise got engaged.

September - First I think was Riki and Todd's wedding (also this night they conceived their first baby which is due in June - I thought you all might like to know that - ha ha Riki). This month was our move from the apartment into the duplex and Nigel moved in with us. Also The Chapman's and the Miller's had their babies on the very same day. This was definately the year of the baby - there was more babies born this year that I know of and I couldn't possibly go through them all.

October - My 25th birthday - where Jonny tried to surprise me with my new headboard and footboard but the day before the delivery I found the receipt on my dresser. And he has the nerve to say that I shouldn't be snooping around on my dresser.

December - This was a really busy month. There was the Elim Christmas production as well as the children's production the week after. Christmas was great and busy. But New Year's Eve was the highlight of my December for sure. Barnstable's (or should I say Ronald and Iguana Trump) hosted a murder mystery party and it was so much fun. There was drama and gambling and of course murder. I learned how to play craps (or our version of it anyways). These are the pictures that I have. I can't wait to see everyone else's pictures.
Yes, the king is alive. Elvis won for bessed dressed. It's hard to make out but dressed up as Elvis is Pastor John.
Here was our gracious host for the evening Ronald Trump.
The supposed richest man at the party (next to of course Ronald), Ace High, who was later on murdered.
The lovely wife of the Senator, Jacqueline Justice.
People like this is how the casino gets all it's money - here is Lolo and Krissy, two of the gamblers.
No high profile party like this one would be without paparazzi. Here Jamie Reporter questions Iguana Trump after the murder.
Papazzi is very sneaky to have caughten this picture of Senator Justice with his mistress Colleen Candy the high class call girl.

I wish I had more pictures than this but there were so many cameras at the party that I'm sure there will be more circulating around. What a great way to bring in the new year though, absolutely steller idea.

Well, Happy New Year everyone. I hope your New Years Eve was as great as mine!
