LIfe Changing Year!

Wow! May I just say this year has been most insane!!! It started out and clear up to the very end has been completely life changing for ben, myself and our families!

This year we have lost an aunt, an uncle and a dear friend.

Gained two new beautiful nieces.

Found jobs, lost jobs and found jobs again. Some of which were the worst ever and for me one was the most remarkable learning experiences that I will always hold very dear to my heart.

Ben and I moved a combined total of 7 times in the last 12 months!

We have gained and lost friends, grown closer to our families, and made memories that will last through the eternities!

We have had 3 cars at once and then no cars at all (gratefully we are up to a wonderful 2)

We Laughed a lot cryed a lot and danced a lot! We saw lots of movies, hockey, and baseball games I even went to my first BYU football game (they won.)

We like the rest of the United States got a new president. Like the rest of the world we mourned the loss of some great american idols such as , Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze and Ed McMahon just to name a few.

We have spent a lot of time with family and friends.

We visited Zion National Park, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Got a ticket in Arizona, and saw seven Temples in 1 Day and not to mention our many trips to Park City and the few months we worked that sign job that took us all over the state putting thousands of miles on our jeep!

We pet sting rays, new puppies, dolphins and were splashed by shamoo!

We saw the greatest band of all time play at a brand new stadium.

I received my endowment and was able to experience one of the most amazing and marvelous experiences on this earth by going through the temple. My testimony has never been stronger but also experienced one of its weakest moments this year.

Ben and I were Boyfriend and girlfriend then fiances and now are sealed for time and eternity as husband and wife.

Now Christmas is coming to a wrap and the year hasn't quite ended we still don't know what the next couple of days hold but we know whatever it is good or bad, we can overcome and enjoy every second! We made it through this year didn't we? We know that everyday our future holds is blessing from our father in heaven we are grateful for every second.

Now we wish each of you a Happy New Year make the best of it! We love you.
