Sad News: Our beloved Nick Swisher of the Oakland A's (basically the ONLY reason to watch the Oakland A's lately!) has been traded to the White Sox! Although initially sad at this news, I am very happy for him because it is a good move and he is happy that he is on a team that "has the desire to win" to quote Swish himself. Now one of the websites that has been added to my favorites is http://www.chicagowhitesox.com/
Good News: There is snow in Logan! I have decided to like it because we have been dumped on in the last week and it is beautiful! It also makes me especially greatful for my 4-wheel drive Jeep that means I never get stuck and never slide off the road...yet:)

The Best of 2007...
So every year at this time, I start to wax poetic about the past year that just wrapped up and I started to think about all of the things that happened that were good in 2007:
1. Started a new job. As of April 4, I started at the Admissions office at Utah State University. It is an actual big girl job that means I can start career building with full benefits and everything!
2. Back to School. So, with the new job and benefits and everything, I decided to go back to school and finally finish my degree! I will now finish in about a year with an Interdisciplinary Studies Bachelor's Degree in PR and Management and Human Resources. The job possibilities are endless...
3. Spring Training 2007. March in Phoenix-can it get better than that? We got to spend some up close and personal time with our beloved A's, which always makes the A's fanatics in this family very happy!
4. Good-stayed really healthy all year with the worst thing that happened being a random Staph infection from a scrape in my leg. Bad-Broken foot in April that meant 8 weeks in a walking cast!
5. Fun family events: Laura lived in Logan as my neighbor and 2nd Counselor in the RS Presidency until June, now lives in SLC working for the Senate. Bub and Chel are pregnant with their first little Pee Wee! Lots of trips home to Cali with fun tours of the City with Jane. Jen went back to school and is now home in Cali for some R & R and looking for one of those jobs that actually pays more than Logan's going rate!
6. Got released as RSP and put in as Activities co-chair. Good: Lots less work and worrying and now get to work with Activities that I love. Bad: Now I have to work with a boy!
7. Learned to do fun things that are on my "Life's List of Things to Do": I can get up on a wakeboard, and I learned to "swoosh" whilst skiing. I am almost a good skiier!
8. All in all, it was a good year-filled with happy things like family and friends that make me feel very blessed!
