Goodbye 2012

2012 was a fun year for Reed and I. We feel like we are starting to feel more and more like grown ups. We probably will never act like grown ups though. This year Reed finished school and got a job, which we have been looking forward for a while now. Now it's my turn for school. We had lots of fun adventures, made many good friends, and grew to love each other even more if that's possible. We stayed super busy by juggling school, work, and church callings. Reed is the 1st counselor in Young Men's, and I'm the 1st counselor in Young Women's. Every once in a while we find some time to throw some fun in. These are some of our favorite highlights of our year.

One of our many snowshoeing adventures.

Participated in 2 dodge ball tournaments

Hiked to some Indian ruins.

The highlight of our year was being able to go to Reed's mission, the Baltic Countries, in May for 2 weeks. It was such a cool experience for me to see another part of the world and meet some people that Reed served and impacted. I met some amazing people and made me love Reed even more as I saw how much those people loved him because he was such a good missionary. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life.

Another thing that changed my life while I was in the Baltics was these delicious hot dogs. They are amazing and I've craved them ever since I left there. I'm drooling as I write this.

We are looking forward to 2013. We hope to buy a home to settle in for a while. I hope to get into a program at our college and we hope to have many more adventures.

Today mark's the date of Reed and I's first date to a church dance 4 years ago. Its crazy how fast time flies and that in a couple months we will celebrate our 4th anniversary. Things haven't always gone the way we have planned but we can't complain because we have most definitely been blessed. We always have each other and that's all that matters, life has been good to us.

Happy new year, here's to many more!
