What a wonderful year full of so many changes. We just wanted to take a moment to reflect on all that happened. Here is what we were doing in 2007:
Moved out of our one bedroom cinderblock apartment and moved in with Shayne's parents for 6 months to save some money
Shayne graduated with a bachelors degree in business finance.
Shayne traveled the US for dental interviews (Sherri accompanied him for a few).
Shayne was fortunate to be accepted to more than one dental school and finally chose The Ohio State!
Shayne was a Spanish interpreter at the U of U hospital and was sad to quit
Shayne started wearing contacts and was not happy about it at first
Bought two puppies who we adore
Sherri went with Shayne's mom to puppy classes to train the crazy puppies
Traveled the world: Oregon, San Francisco, Sint Marteen, New Port Beach, Canada, Ohio (sort of a vacation at first), Palmyra NY and Niagra Falls
We both celebrated 26 meaning we are no longer mid 20's but upper 20's yikes!
Went wakeboarding for what will probably be the last time for awhile - so sad!
Moved across the country and left our wonderful family and friends behind!
Purchased our first home (condo)
Finally switched from a married student ward to a family ward
Celebrated our 4th year anniversary and 7 years together - wow!
Gained a new nephew (Grant Later), whom we still haven't met, but pics are super cute.
Sherri quit both her jobs
Sherri got another job (just one this time)
Taught nursery together
Volunteered together at Primary Children's Hospital once a week, we were sad to quit.
Shayne now teaches nursery again, Sherri doesn't have another calling yet - Shayne's not bitter about this at all :)
Became instant Buckeye fans while still remaining true to the U!
Sherri fell into the trap and read and was obsessed with The Twilight Series along with everyother woman in the world
Spent our first Christmas alone together since we've been married - it was kind of fun!

It was so great to hear from you! You have been really busy these last few years. I am so impressed that you are both in the medical field, it takes a lot of time and dedication! My uncle is a dentist and it is such a great profession, not only financially but for spending a lot of quality time with his family! The hard work will one day be so worth it! You look great!
I really enjoyed reading this post and getting to know the two of you a little bit better! You definitely sound busy. I know what it's like working multiple jobs- do you love having just one?
I loved this post. It's crazy to think of all of the things that have happened in a years time. It was fun hanging out with you guys the other night. I definitely enjoyed being home with my family for a while, but I missed out on all of the good times here. We will have to do something again soon. Call me if you guys do girls night again. I think it would be fun to do cards sometime. I know Raquel seems like she is good at them. Anyway, hope you are having a great day.
This past year was a bit crazy for us too. We loved that you and Shayne were able to visit us while we were in San Fran. It fun to FINALLY have a visitor besides my mom. :) We will have to try to set up a time to get back together. Spokane is not the most exciting places in the US so we will have to come up with a plan..... Australia anyone?? hmmmm Love you two and we will have to chat sometime soon.
Did you for get about the other new niece and nephew that you got last year? LOL
