Clichè "what we learned in 2007" post...

• We have gained a deeper and more profound respect for eachother.
• It's expensive to travel. But worth it.
• We will do anything for family. They mean that much to us.
• As hard as school is, it's possible to get through it.
• It's possible to decide what you want to become and become it even when you're 26. Hence, chelle and her deciding to become a massage therapist.
• It's possible to wake up at 7AM and still be in a good mood (most days).
• There is never enough money. Never.
• Dean learned how to fix the motor on our windshield wipers. For real this time.
• We love our friends both here and far away. But we already knew that one, silly.
• chelle needed to take better care of her teeth growing up as shown by her 13 trips to the dentist over 5 months to fill numerous cavities, do a root canal, and put on a crown. At least she doesn't have a fear of needles in her mouth anymore!
• Dean looks best with a goatee.
• You don't have to stay working somewhere where you are miserable.
• 99.99% of tv is garbage.
• When you get the chance to do something you want to do, DO IT.
• Listen to people. REALLY listen. They want to share their stories too.
• Sam's Club will take back anything, no matter how long you've had it or what kind of condition it's in, and you don't even have to have a receipt.
• Chiropractic boards are as scary as people make them out to be, but not as hard as they try to make you think they are.
• We can drive straight from Seattle to Iowa in 40 hours with little pit stops to sleep.
• We will never fly standby again.
• The Grand Canyon is freezing in March.
• 4 AM wake up calls to Dean to say good morning are ok.
• We will never live in a house with stairs again.
• Verizon charges way too much for their family plans.
• Put blankets up over the bedroom windows to block the sun and sleep in once in a while.
• Dean can only do sideways flips on the trampoline. It's freakin' hilarious.
• It takes a lot to make either of us cry.
• We are chronically late to sacrament meeting.
