a new year

As 2011 has come to a close, I'm sure most of us have been looking back on the events of this year and the things we have gone through, as well as the goals that we set when last January rolled around. Lewis and I were blessed to have had a marvelous and fun-filled (and trial filled) 2011. So many memories make up this past year. Here's a taste of a few:

~ went to Texas in April for Addeline's baby blessing in April

~ Kara got a fulltime job as the office manager for Help International in April

~ watched the Mavs win the NBA playoffs in June

~ Lewis started a new job as an MA at a dermatology clinic in June

~ traveled to Moab to celebrate our one year anniversary in July

~ Lewis got scuba certified in August, joining Kara in the ranks

~ Lewis studied for and took the GRE in August

~ Kara graduated from college in August

~ went to Europe with my family, stopping in Italy, France, Spain and Monaco in August

~ found out we were pregnant in October

~ flew to Texas to watch BYU play TCU in October

~ went to Park City for Thanksgiving in November

~ celebrated Christmas in Texas in December

2011 was filled with wonderful memories and this year in 2012, we have a lot to look foward to, as well. In 2012, we will:

~ welcome home my brother from his mission in March

~ bring home a baby in June

~ apply for graduate schools in October

~ celebrate as Lewis graduates from college in December
and

~ find out where we'll be spending the next two years of our lives!

2012 seems like a promising year. Can't wait for more memories!
