Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011

Well we had quite an eventful year and although it is over I am sure that 2011 will have just as much excitement for our family.


Here are a few highlights from 2010:
1. Paisley started walking at the very beginning of the year and has never looked back since.
2. Jaxon started primary and loves it.
3. We started the home buying process but after much thought and prayer we changed our minds.
4. We spent months searching for a job for Jared, traveling all over Utah for interviews.
5. Jared's truck finally died on us after giving us its best; we are now a one car family.
6. Jared quit his job in Page and we found ourselves moving to Northern Utah without employment.
7. Jared landed a GREAT job at a Methadone clinic counseling clients who are addicted to heroin and pain killers.
8. We moved twice in 2 months (Highly don't recommend if it can be avoided).

Here is what we have to look forward to in 2011:

1. My youngest brother Alex is leaving on a mission to Hondurus in early April.
2. We will welcome baby #3 at the end of April. We decided not to find out the gender so that will be a surprise when baby arrives.
3. We will finally buy another car :)
4. Jared will receive his substance abuse certificate through the University of Utah.
5. Jared will spend two weeks in Hawaii for military orders, the only down is this is suppose to be only weeks after baby #3 arrives.
6. Jaxon will start his first season of soccer.
7. We will celebrate our 6th anniversary this year!
8. One year older for each of us: Paisley 2 and Jaxon 5

Here are some things to hope for in 2011:
1. A trip to Colorado to visit family and friends
2. Not having to move again
3. Lots of time with family
4. Finding a part-time job or a cool hobby to get me out of the house for a few hours each week.
5. Learn how to coupon like the best of them.
6. Take more pictures and update my blog more often

We realized how much the Lord's hand has been in our lives especially this last year our faith and trust in him grew even stronger and we can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us this year. Hope everyone had a great 2010 and hope that 2011 brings great things to each of you.
