Say goodbye to 2007!

Hi all!

It has been a crazy, but amazing 2007 and I am kind of sad to see it go. Nothing like graduating from college, planning a wedding, getting married, going on a honeymoon, moving to a new town, buying a house, and getting a new job all in the same year! I can't complain about anything though, I am so happy with my life and where I am right now and have to thank all my friends and especially my family for helping us to be where Jeff and I are now. We are so lucky!!

Christmas flew by but was very nice. I just keep wondering when our parents are going to stop buying us so much! But hey, I'm not complaining. I can't think of a thing I didn't get that I "wanted" and neither can Jeff. I love being with my family whenever I can and Christmas was one of the best times I've had in a long time with everyone being together including Granny. It's so hard to be away for weeks at a time.

Well, to fill everyone in on my job status... Early November I was hired at DeBrand Fine Chocolates, a local company here in Fort Wayne started in 1987 by a woman out of her home and has spread into a worldwide company with business from all over including lots of famous people. Most people know how I love baking and chocolate and figured I've give something like this a shot. I was working in one of the actual shoppes thru Christmas since its one of their busiest seasons of the year, but now am back at the headquarters where I will be working in the office doing a variety of things and also in the mail order department when needed. I like it so far, so let's keep our fingers crossed! So nice to have a job and an income again! haha.

Jeff is doing very well at Sweetwater. He has worked with a few up and coming artists whom are now pretty well known and have signed with labels and have their own CD's out. We told Jeff he has got to get everyone's autographs whom he records at Sweetwater so that when they are all famous he will have their original autograph and some of their first recordings (and hopefully some people will thank him on their album when they are famous ;) ). He has been in the process of packing up their old place and getting ready for their move next week to the new building (which we have pictures of on Shutterfly). So they are very excited to get to the new place and to work with really awesome new equipment and have bigger offices and studios. I am very proud of him and all he has accomplished so far! He is telling me all the time how many compliments he gets at work and how people tell him what a great job he is doing.

We are in a winter wonderland right now and have been off and on for the last few weeks. It is pretty, but gets old when I have to drive 30 minutes to work everyday and have to be extra careful. I'm already ready for the winter to be over when it has hardly begun! It was great to see Alexis and Amanda over Christmas for a little while. It sure is hard to see my old friends when we don't live anywhere near each other anymore, same with Jeff's. But we are slowly meeting work friends and hang out with them from time to time. Of course we love just spending time at home too.

Alright well make sure and check out the updated photos of my neices and our home on Shutterfly. The link is to the left. Have a wonderful and healthy 2008! I hope its everyone's best year ever!

Love, Sarah
