Happy 2008!

Since our wonderful Christmas, Cody and I have done nothing! We slept late and watched some really great movies (including "The Last King of Scotland" which I highly recommend). It was great to spend some time relaxing! After our Sunday service we drove to TN to celebrate Christmas with Cody's family. We always look forward to spending time with our niece, Avery, who is 5 and knows how to steal Cody's heart! We spent the night hanging out with his family and our dear friend, Joe. New Year's Eve we headed to Gatlinburg for Xtreme! I guess you could say this has become our New Year's tradition. We have been "sneaking" into the concerts there for the past few years and hanging out with our friends. We all listened to Chris Tomlin's concert that was really great (especially considering the fact that he was really sick)! Then NewSong brought in the New Year followed by a celebration with music and dancing! I was pulled on stage to dance with Hollie and a few others brave enough to do the "Cha Cha Slide" in front of everyone! The best part of the night was when the stage was filled with students doing the Soulja Boy!!! I seriously thought the stage would cave in! We had a yummy lunch with great friends on our way out of town today, the first day of the year! The weekend was great and there was no better way to start the year than with some of our dearest friends! Now we are home...unpacking, blogging and getting ready to join the real world again! Hope you all have an amazing 2008!
