We've had an exciting first year of marriage!! Some of the highlights include...
- Moving to a new house in Lehi, Utah. The house had no yard and an unfinished basement, so we've been busy with construction and landscaping! (Two things I had never done before getting married. I even mowed the lawn for the first time EVER this year!)
- A winter with LOTS of snow. Jon taught me how to ski and we enjoyed spending a couple of weekends with family and friends up at the Robinson Family cabin at Brighton.
- We bought a horse named Cowboy! Jon called me after a few weeks of being married and asked what I thought about buying a horse. I responded with silence...and understandably so! It was actually an investment and we only saw the horse once...at least we got a picture with him :)
- A humanitarian trip to Zambia with Mothers Without Borders followed by a safari in South Luangwa.
- The birth of 2 nephews and 1 neice. I LOVE being an aunt! I think it is the best thing ever! When we got married, I become an insta-aunt x9. I told Jon that is one of the best gifts he gave me after we got married...being an aunt.
- I ran the Moab Half Marathon with 2 good friends this year. We endured the winter training and enjoyed a beautiful run in Moab. I was so thankful to have Jon at the finish line cheering us on. He was my motivation to finish! I imagined how embarrassed I would be if he waited all day at the finish line and never saw me! Plus, he was waiting with a Dr. Pepper in hand...an added bonus!
- We love our new neighborhood and ward. We have great neighbors and friends in this area. We both received callings shortly after moving in. Jon is the cub master for the area. I was serving in the nursery and just got called as the primary chorister-it is my dream calling!
- I got lucky enought to be invited to Los Angeles to see a good friend, Mary Banford, in the Broadway Musical "Wicked". She won a package deal on Deal or No Deal and got to be on stage for the preformance. It was an amazing experience and we had a lot of fun.
