Ok so one of my most favorite friends named Karen Peterson and I make a CD each year since 2005 to reflect on the experiences we have had. It started with the Jive of 2005, Peace to the river love to the land, the bomb.com, and life is great in 2008. Life was great in 2008 and I would like to share with you some reasons why I thought life was great in 2008. I was reading on my friend Kimbrey's blog and then her sister Jill's blog and now I am stealing their ideas. I am allowed to though because I love them both dearly and so that makes it ok :)

Favorite Restaurant- In and Out in Costa Mesa (a staple for jessica and I after a hard session of rock band :), Chipolte' in Costa mesa (a staple for Beau and I before a hard days work), and Texas Road House
Favorite Hobby- I am sad to say that I didn't really focus on a any hobbies this year
Favorite CD- Wicked the Musical....loved it...still love it, OH and Life is Great in 2008! You gotta hear it and you will love it too
Favorite Food- we got a quesadilla maker for our wedding so this year we have eaten a TON of quesadilla's with beans and chesse...my favorite
Favorite Memory- This is a hard one....The one I am thinking about right now happened while we were in California. I went to work with Beau one day and it was one of our last days out in the area. I remember the weather was perfect and we were really slow so Beau and I got to spend the entire day just being together. It was wonderful. We wandered around stores, ate at random places, but mainly we laid in the grass at this huge park and just watched the day go by. It sounds silly but it was perfect.
Favorite Song- When all is said and done
Favorite TV show- Bones
Favorite Board Game- Ticket to Ride!! And Zarahemla
Favorite Time Waster- The Computer :)
Favorite Drink: I am a water drinker so I will say water...I don't really like anything else
Favorite Exercise- Pilates though Beau had me running a bunch this summer and I did find that breathing and running in Cali is WAY easier than breathing and running in Utah so that was enjoyable.
Worst Heart Stopping Moment- When I was watching the news and heard that there were shootings going on in Compton and Beau was in Compton and I couldn't get a hold of him...that freaked me out...
Worst Memory of 2008: Being sick, Workmans' Comp, and throwing up on the 405 freeway on my way back from work with a migrane...yeah that sucked
Favorite Quote: The only constant is change

What a fun post. I would not step foot in a haunted hospital, especially now that you wouldn't never go again, but I am speaking for myself, you could probably get Jens to go. I am glad I wasn't there for your worst memory, but when I read that I did feel sorry for you, and on the 405 of all places, lovely. :) Thanks for sharing. I just might have to do one, but my list wouldn't compare to yours.
Of course that makes it ok. Fun and interesting things you did in 2008, I enjoyed reading about them.
I have a friend that writes 10 things she learned in that year. Kind of like David Letterman. They are hilarious!
This is a good idea. Reflection is always character building.
I love the fact that you spent an entire day with Beau and it was one of your best days. As long as you two can have fun together, it's good. I love spending time with Jim, even when it's doing nothing.
Love you guys.
Amanda Leigh- I miss you! You sound like you are having loads of fun! We need to get together soon. I heard the song Crimson and Clover on the radio and started laugh/crying haha. Hey Jace Adams is getting married crazy huh! Call you soon. Love you
