Year in Review

Since it is the last day of the year, I thought I would look back on the great year that I had. It truly has been a great year and I am so thankful for all that I have gotten to do and for all the wonderful people in my life!
January- The new year started out great. I was still on my mission but was very near the end. I defiantly wanted to work hard until the very end and I believe I did. January was filled with teaching the gospel and serving the Lord's children!

This is the bishop of my last ward. Him and his wife are really good role models to me!

Another family from my ward. I loved visiting this family. The last week their little boy learned my name!

February- Scott and I came home from our missions just a little over two weeks of each other. It was hard to say goodbye to Florida and the ones I loved there, but I knew it had to end sometime. I will never forget all that I learned while on my mission. February brought lots of family time as many came to visit.

March-Birthday Time. I spent my birthday with one of my really good friends, Heather. It was so much fun to be with her and her little boy!
April- Todd and Deedra came to visit. It was the first time Scott and I had seen Todd since our missions. While Scott and I were on our missions, Todd was deployed to Quatar with the Army. It was fun to see them. We took family pictures while they were here!

June- I started school and continued to work. At the end of the month, I went with one of my neighbor families to Lake Powell. I had so much fun riding down with them and their kids. Also, my sweet Grandmother passed away. It has been hard without her but I am glad she doesn't have to endure another winter.

July- Todd and Deedra were here at the first of the month for Grandma's funeral. It was fun to have them here for the Fourth of July. I am so proud of Todd and am thankful for his sacrifice for my freedom!

August- I ran into a lady from my mission on campus. I was so excited to see her. I also moved out to Provo and started school.A lady from my mission

October- I love the holidays, whatever they are. My dad's birthday is on Halloween so we had a really fun party. It would have been funner for me but I hit my head on the kitchen table the night before and was in pain the day of the party.
November- We had a really fun Thanksgiving. It was smaller this year than it has been in the past but the food was great and the company was even better!
December- It has been a really good month to end the year. Though it has been hard and sometimes lonely, I am grateful for it. I am grateful for my trials that I have had this year. I have learned a lot. I am looking forward to the new year so I can learn and grow more.
I am also grateful for all of my family, friends and loved ones that are in my life. I know that I couldn't have made it through the year without you!
