2007 was a year that seemed to pass at break-neck speed. It had its highs and lows like any year and served to further cement the Brice family in the fabric that is Asheville. Below are some highlights:
Birthdays: Both Jim and Pam celebrated their 35th year on the planet whilst little Lexie turned 3 years old in July.
Jobs: Pam went through major job changes by retiring from the newspaper industry which was a full-time headache to take on a part-time job with Henderson County as the PIO (Public Information Officer). Jim finished up his first campaign as the Physics teacher at Asheville High School and embarked upon his second after a wondrous summer of relaxation.
Travel: The clan packed up the auto many times including trips to (a) Jim's Parents lake house, (b) North Myrtle Beach twice to spend time with Pam's folks and her sister Allie, (c) camping trips to Cosby Campground in the Smokies and Black Mountain campground near Mt. Mitchell.
Ultimate: Jim participated in the local Asheville scene, subsequently retired from the competitive scene and still managed to be on two squads that won off-season tournaments. It was a banner year for Jim and a great way to bow out by winning the annual "Mud-Bowl" tournament in Talladegha, AL in February and capping off 2007 with a win of the annual "Ultimax" held in Greenville, NC in December. Jim then broke his pinky at the local end of the season tournament (see prior blogs)
Running: Pam ran numerous 5k races around the Asheville area including one race where everyone wore tie-days. She also was very active in her running club and even helped one runner recover from a heart attack (he was in a coma for a week!)
Church: The family attended a few churches and finally at the end of the year have settled on Central United Methodist in downtown Asheville.
Looking forward to an even better year in 2008
