The Year of 2010!

Considering that today is December 31st, 2010 I wanted to do a sort of remembrance of the year 2010 and count all the blessings that I have received.
This year has by far been one of the best years of my life. First with Jake being home from his mission. Then us being engaged, and getting married in the temple. All this happened with in the first 6 months of the year. After we were married we were blessed with being able to stay at my mom and dads home and getting to know my family all that much more. We enjoyed our stay here very much, but like all good things it must soon come to an end and I will too move out of the house. There was me starting school this year and fully understanding what I am capable of. I never realized how much I can learn and understand until I went to school at the TATC and wanted to compete and finish the courses fast. It helped me realize how much I can do and what I can do. The stars aren't even a limit for me. Jake was blessed this year with a great job that supported both him and I. We were always able to provide for the little family that we are. Jake got another job with the US Airforce, and that too is a blessing considering how many people are joining these days. We were blessed with him leaving when he did, so he could work at his other job until the end of November and qualify for a bonus. We were blessed with the many friends and family we have and the much support and gifts they gave for the wedding.
Some fun memories of this year are (not in any specific order): Winning Jazz tickets because we both knew so much about the Harry Potter movies and books at the premier of Harry Potter 7. Winning a gift card at a work party and spending it at walmart. Winning a Newly Wed game at the County Fair and getting 100 dollars to Home Depot, 2 free movie tickets, 5 dollars, and a book. Going to Lagoon with our season passes. Going to Nightmare on 13th. Hunting with Jake's Dad, Clayton, Jenna, & Uncle Scott in October. Having Joey Williams and Brooke here for the weekend where we went to the temple, Lagoon, and Witches Night Out. Trick or Treating and Carving Pumpkins! Going on our honeymoon to Mexico and Catalina Island. Getting Married! Having Courtney go through the temple. Taking engagements. Black Friday and how crazy it was staying up for more that 24 hours. Thanksgiving at the Worthington's. Running together at night. Going to St. George for a week and going to Moab and Manti. Temple trips! Getting engaged. Jake getting pulled over for the first time. Going to General Conference both sessions in 2010. Going to Olive Garden for Valentines Day. Motorcycle rides (especially the one going up settlement canyon). Bridal Showers. Date nights with friends (Alexa & Eric, Jason...and a girl ha ha). Going to California for Peppers Blessing. Going to California for Kyles Graduation. Cafe Rio! Going to Jazz games and thinking they were our last and then getting more tickets. Disney on Ice. Horseback riding on my Birthday. 4-wheeling. Dinner down at the farm. Mirco the horse. IFly Utah. Going on our first camping trip in July. 4th of July parades and firework show! and so many more.
We have had an amazing year together and we are so excited for the next year to come. We are hopeful that it will be as amazing as this year. We have a lot to look forward to like moving to Texas, moving where the military wants us, and setting up our new place. It's going to be amazing.
"Every year gives us a chance to dream, and become more than we ever imagined."
