2008 ... What a great year! We had our 3rd anniversary. The pressure to have kids gets a little stronger every year - we resisted in 2008 and picked “beaches over babies”. Life is just straight up good sometimes. When things appear bad, we try look at the "silver lining". Life brings lots of changes and sometimes life sucks, but we love our life, our family, and our friends. We are very blessed!
We went to some great places ... - Went on an awesome dive trip to Palau, Tokyo & Singapore w/ the Starks; We spent our 3rd anniversary in the Texas Hill Country(Biscuit Hill B&B); We went on a Kujawski family vacation in Colorado; Another sweet dive trip to Bonaire w/ the Starks; We went camping at Lake Lewisville for Brock's birthday; Tiff went to Buenos Aires, Argentina for work; We spent Christmas in Crested Butte for skiing and fun; Tiff continues to travel around the US for work – Chicago mostly, but also LA, NY, Miami, and other less glamorous locales like El Paso.
