So I said that 2008 hasn't been that exciting. While that's mostly true, it's not to say that it's been uneventful:

We had Ed A. and his nephew Joe A. at our house for three nights. It was awesome.

My wonderful husband--bless his still*gasp*beating heart--turned 41. He had the MOST boring birthday in birthday history.

My father-in-law scared us all by feeling more and more awful as the days went by, to the point where he had to crawl from the kitchen into the living room because he was too dizzy and weak to walk the distance. Like a true man, he didn't think it was time yet to get to the doctor (hel-looo). He was convinced differently and wound up in the emergency room, where they promptly admitted him. He stayed in the hospital for three+ days and discovered he has a bleeding ulcer. He lost so much blood that he was in a danger zone there for awhile. There are more details to his medical situation, but the long story short is that he's home now, feeling great and on the mend. Scary stuff. These old people.....I tell ya.

Hockey has started and now it's the hockey express--up and down Highway 101 (hey--that's an old country singing group) countless times a week. Good thing gas is so cheap. Good thing hockey is so cheap. Good thing we have three boys and not ten.

So....not so exciting but not without a few little bursts of life interjected here and there.
