What a Year it's Been

Yes I know I haven't posted in a while.. That is why I have decided to update the blog by doing a wrap-up of the year. 2011 just flew by and so far 2012 is going by even faster. Its sad to think another year has gone by an we are just getting older, but I we have had a good year and we did accomplish a lot.
JANUARY: We signed our lives away as we bought and moved into our first home!! This has kept us busy all year. It has been so fun making it our own.
FEBRUARY: My Mom and Jayme came to Houston!! We had so much fun shopping and eating and shopping some more!! I loved having them here and hope we can have a girls weekend again soon.
MARCH: We brought home a baby chocolate lab. Jax has been so much fun, I was very unsure about letting a dog in the house, but Jax really is such a good dog and he has made the year interesting. While he does have his moments, it is fun having someone follow me around the house while I do laundry and other things.
APRIL-JUNE: We pretty much spent the summer going to the beach, the pool, and lots of yard work. We planted lots of trees, started a garden and put in a back patio.
JULY: Scott's little brother, David, was married and we were able to fly home for a week. We were able to spend time in Cedar City and spend time with all of Scott's family. It was fun playing with the kids and of course several games of Risk.
AUGUST: i guess we just worked? Maybe a trip to the pool or something? It was flippen hot though so I don't know.
SEPTEMBER: We set sail in the Caribbean with Scott's sis Mary and her husband Russell. Seven days of sunbathing and eating and shopping!! I loved every minute of it! We stopped in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel Mexico. We are already talking about our next cruise.
OCTOBER: UFC came to Houston!! Which means Jonny boy came to Houston!! Jon and his friend Kris stayed at our place a few days while the fight was in town. We enjoyed having them here!!
NOVEMBER: I cooked my first turkey and Scott and I had "Thanksgiving for two!" It was really good actually and I believe I heard Scott say it was the best turkey he'd ever had?! What??!! We really missed being home with our families but we made the best of it and thought we'd start some of our own family traditions. So he watched football and I cooked dinner... ;)
DECEMBER: Seems like a lot happened in December.... I was lucky enough to fly home for a week and surprise my mom for an early Christmas... it was awesome. She had no idea I was coming! We went shopping (of course), ate (of course) , visited all sorts of grandparents! (gma and gpa Hatch, gma Joan and gma Jackson), and then went shopping some more!! Scott and I had a "very merry Christmas for two". We had an awesome turkey dinner at the Berg's and spent the evening giggling over football! December also marks the one year mark since Scott and I started trying for a baby. Yes I said it, the cat is out of the bag, no more secrets. No success yet, but whenever I get frustrated or let down, Scott quickly reminds me that God will bless us with children when he is ready to and there is nothing we can to but pray and be obedient. It will happen soon lets hope but I am doing my best to prepare myself... maybe this has something to do with my new calling in primary?? I don't know...

Well that is 2011 in a blog post... I am sure I missed somethings but I think I got the important stuff down. I can't wait to see what 2012 brings our way but I am excited/nervous/anxious!!
