I started to write a long a drawn out "year in review" post but I just deleted it. I think this year I have witnessed some miraculous things and some awful things as well. Here is my shortened year in review...
In the calendar year that I've lived in Utah (July 09-July 10) I have been witness to two adoptions, the birth of a new niece, a divorce of close friends, we got married (for the first time), a few unfortunate deaths, buying a house, and a lot of little milestones a long the way. One milestone was trying fry sauce for the first time, I won't lie, it's some weird stuff. Also I found some french fries that I can, not only, stomach but actually enjoy! This is a huge feat for me. We also hosted our very first Thanksgiving in our new house and I cooked my very first turkey. I made some super awesome friends, which are all leaving me now (boo).
Moving on to the rest of 2010, I had the pleasure of witnessing the marriage of a bunch of awesome people and Andy and I got married for the second time :). Our year of weddings went something like this...
Mitchell Diebold wed Amanda Meyer on July 17, I had the honor of being a bridesmaid.
Tyler Smedley wed Candice Draper on August 27, Andy had the pleasure of being the surprise best man.
Jason Christensen wed Megan Shields on September 2, I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid.
Andy and I were married again in front of all of our family and friends October 2.
Alec Bass wed Elizabeth Baxter on November 20, so sad we couldn't attended but we were there in spirit.
We are so happy to have all of these people as part of our lives and it is a beautiful thing to be a witness to the happiest days of their lives.
Now 2011 is shaping up to be a big year for us too. We have a super cool trip planned with some friends to a cabin over looking Bear Lake in northern Utah (Andy even said he would drive me to Idaho so I could mark another state off of my list!). Our honeymoon is booked for March! But sadly because of bad scheduling on my part we won't be able to attend my cousin's wedding in March (we will be at sea.. poop). We have another wedding that we are planning on attending in May in St. Louis! So all you Missouri people, mark your calendars! Oh, I almost forgot.. I will be turning the big 2-4 and Andy is just getting old. lol Just kidding he will be the big 2-7. I try to make them cooler by calling them "big" but nothing cool happens at 24 and 27. Lame ages. Anywho, maybe 2011 will mark the beginning of an awesome career for me, keep those fingers crossed. In the mean time I think I need to get out of this house! Since my parents left in early January I've been here searching for jobs and you know those little things that kind of annoy you about your house but you can put in the back of your mind? Well they are frustrating the crap out of me! I'm so close to repainting my house, ripping my fireplace off of the wall and replacing it, glazing my cabinets, etc, etc, etc.
Anyway, have a fabulous day!
