2010

My 2010 was awesome. At the end of every year I look back and reflect on all of my experiences from the year. I think that I have learned more in 2010 than I have learned in any other year of my life. This year has had a lot of ups and downs. I have learned more about patience and love this year than I ever would have imagined. I feel like sometimes I go through my day to day life not realizing how blessed my life really is. In 2011 I am going to try to find the positive in every situation, even the hard ones. There is a great quote by President Thomas S. Monson, it says "Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final." Here is a look back on my 2010.

We rang in the new year on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. I must say, that is the way to do it. It was a blast.



We took a quick trip to St. George with my family. We loved getting out of the cold weather and into the sun.




We bought our first home!




I turned 21!



This kid got his mission call to Macon, Georgia and left at the end of June. He has been out 6 months now! We are so proud of him.




We took a trip to the beautiful north shore of Oahu with the fam. It was so fun.



Rich and I went to San Diego with my parents.



My best friend Brit got married.



Rich turned 26!




This year we got a new niece and a new nephew! They are both adorable.





I was able to go to Portland to meet the cutest twin babies ever.




Christmas with the fam was the perfect way to end the year.




I am excited for what 2011 has in store for us!
