Well, I'm getting ahead of myself, because that didn't happen until the end of the year. It was, however, the most significant event for our family.
SETTING: January found us in Provo and James in the final semester of his MBA program at BYU.
* James traveled to India for Cisco with others from his program.
* James graduated as a Master from BYU (and has been making us address him as such ever since).
* We went to St. George to celebrate graduation and hike amidst the beautiful red rocks of Southern Utah.

* We found out we would be having a baby in December.

* James took the Foreign Service Exam (only prepared 10 days--and passed). This necessitated a trip to Southern Utah once again.
* The Core Family (Rodney Dale--i.e., Grandpa) had a reunion in Colorado. There was sun, surf, jump-rope, cousin slumber parties, and festive explosions. Everything a family reunion should have.

* Mejkin and the boys spent the summer at Seven Peaks
* Mejkin got progressively greater with child.
* James started a few companies and continued to surmount each hurdle of the Foreign Service application process.
* Thanksgiving was delicious, and then we had our baby. Seth Lucas Core was born at 12:30am on Black Friday. Our little doorbuster was 2 weeks early.
* Christmas was blessed with friends and family and generous souls.
