So much has happened in 2010 and I feel like I have been so blessed. So I thought I would give a quick recap of what happened with John and me in 2010!
So starting off the new year John and I were married January 14, 2010. It definitely was the best day of my life and I don't think I'll ever forget the way I felt that day being sealed to my very best friend for all eternity!
January 27th I believe is the day John's little brother Max left on his mission to Argentina. We are so proud of the work he is doing! And having served missions ourselves know of the blessing that can come from serving a mission not only for the people you are serving but your family, friends, and yourself! It's an experience he will relate to for the rest of his life!
January 29th I turned 25 years old!! Holy Crap I never thought that day would come!! haha It's almost my birthday again and I still accidentally tell people I'm 24..
In March the Gomez family, one of my most favorite family's I taught on my mission, for 8
months might I add came to Utah to be sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City
Temple! I felt so much joy for that family that day! I felt like its was my own children going
to the temple.
Also in March (the date is unclear) my mom had a bad accident and broke both of her shoulders. And just three days later had to have surgery on both of them! Replacing her right shoulder and placing a pin in her left shoulder! It was very dramatic and very scary!! Both John and I felt it was very important to be there for her and my dad so in just 6 days we sold our contact at our apartment and was moved into my parents house. There we stayed for about 5 months. I'm very grateful that we were able to be there for my parents. We now have an even better relationship with them! I love them!
While living at my parents I got a second job at Gas in Go gas station. But for only about two month to make a little extra money and something to do while John was in school. Which brings me to the next point..
John started POST the Police Academy in June! He did very well one of the top in his class! I'm very proud of how hard he is working. He's dream is to be a police officer so he can really get out there and help! He is such a wonderful person and very brave might I add! It scares me to death to think of the work he will be doing, but I also think it takes very special people to do that service, not job, service!!
In September we moved!! My mom healed quite well and is doing great! So we felt it was time to move into our own place again. I love it! We moved into a cute little 2 bedroom apartment and got a steal of a deal. The ward is fun and is very young. We're still getting to know everyone.
Me and John had our first Christmas together! It was so much fun! We got surprise bonus' at work and felt so blessed! We had a home made christmas by making all of our decorations!! It turned out so cute! John is very talented and made some beautiful snow flakes. People even bought some of his snowflakes.
December 31st my baby sister Kaitlyn got married! My mom planned the wedding in just one week and it looked wonderful and Kaitlyn looked beautiful! I took her bridals and engagements, makeup, hair, and nails. I'm glad that I was able to help out so much! John took a lot of the pictures of the wedding, we make a great team!
And that was our 2010. Quite busy.. but it was great!
I've been trying to think of some New Year Resolutions, but I'm not doing so well. I think its because I call them resolutions I like goals better. I've only come up with a few goals..
Goals for 2011
- Eating healthier by cooking more; 6 days out of the week!
- Start crafting more. A new "big" project every month by sewing or painting.
- Piano lessons! I finally found someone to teach me piano and I'm so excited to learn!
- Reading El Libro De Mormon! To better my spanish. (very important)
- Getting a concealed weapons permit..
- Better my knowledge at work so I can be more productive and NEVER be scared to help a customer!
- Bills, bills, bills.. I'm going to cut down my bills in half!!
- Be better at saving my money for our future home and family!
- Becoming a better person by focusing on being more POSITIVE!! Sometimes it's really hard for me to not worry about everything and thinking the worst could happen. Relaxing a little more..
Ok I guess I had a few more goals then I thought.. I have a feeling this is going to be a great new year!
I've already started one of my goals, crafting! Well first I reorganized our spare bedroom, put some shelves in and bought a cute table for my new "Sewing Room"! It's so fun I can't wait to get started on all the sewing ideas I have. There are seriously so many! But first I wanted to spruce up the room a little with a cute clock. I got the idea from the Make it and Love it blog. I got my very plain big white clock at Ikea and added some fabric and pink rosettes and it just adds so much to the room! I love it!
The rosettes make it so fun!
John, babe, I love you so much! I can't believe this is my life to spend the rest of it with you!
