February

Matt soloed and played with JJC at the Queen Mary.
It snowed in California.
Due to said snow - I-15 was closed, we traveled to Phoenix to stay with my step-sister, Mari.

May
Both of our laptops mostly died.
We got a desktop computer and a mini laptop :)
Photoshop Elements came on the desktop - begin the joys of blog designing and digital scrapbooking.
We realize the Honda job isn't going to be what it was supposed to be.
We looked at houses in Utah county, but didn't persue anything due to Matt changing jobs.

The true realization of Monarch occurs when Matt has to quit band because he can't get time off. :p

Amber finished her last two classes of her undergraduate career.
July

Pioneer day - again, watched a parade. Weird.
Hung out with family for a barbecue after the parade.

Our 2nd anniversary!
We took a road trip through Evanston, Fossile Butte Nat'l Monument, Jackson, Grand Teton Nat'l Park, Yellowstone, Island Park, Malad, Promentory, Hogle Zoo, and home again.
We almost died in Evanston thanks to two road-rage hicks.
Hadfield cabin trip - Grandpa's lesson and family skits!
September
