Favorite Memory of 2013

What is your favorite memory from last year?
{2013}

 

I had to go to my blog to read some of my old posts. A lot of last year is one big blur. I really feel like the past two years have just been jumbled into one. It's crazy.

 

Some highlights though:

Two weddings = a new brother and a new sister
A new nephew
Greg getting the job here at the middle school
Walks with Greg around the block
Finally getting to see a doctor
Being put in the Relief Society presidency
Lots of time spent with Greg

 

Photo: 2014...I don't know why I'm so excited for this new year. I'm gonna kick its butt (I hope). I have some great ideas and hope to find time to implement them. #otherwiseillhavetoquitmyrealjob But for reals... #bringiton2014

Three Things

List three things you enjoyed doing this week.

 

Davies family Christmas party. Its been years since I last went to one, and it was great seeing aunts and uncles, cousins, and other family members. Even if half of them didn't recognize me. It was great seeing them.

 

Coloring with Aidan and making gingerbread houses with the family.

 

Working all day with only two other people. Oh wait, that wasn't quite so fun.

Five Things That Matter Most

What are the five things that matter most to you in your life today?

 

1. My relationship with my husband. He has been my strength through our trials this past year, and I couldn't have done it without him. He is my best friend.

 

2. The Gospel. I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I'm grateful for the knowledge I have that I have a loving Savior who sacrificed his life for me.

 

3. My health. I have had a rough year and a half health wise, but I've learned that it could be a lot worse. I'm still able to do quite a bit alone, and that's important to me.

 

4. Pictures, journals, anything that helps preserve memories. I love that I have a smart phone that I can just snap a picture and go. I also love reading blogs and trying to come up with ideas to keep memories of my own.

 

5. Sleep. Sleep is a deal breaker when it comes to how I'm going to feel in the morning and through the day. I need my sleep, and I need good sleep. Otherwise I can be a bit cranky.

 

Photo: Gift for the hubs. Took forever to wrap these ones. I'm beat. I may just have to color the packaging on the next ones I'm waiting for.

 

3 Things Tomorrow

What are three things you need to do tomorrow?

1. I need to write up some decisionings on some loans that I really don't want to do. Yes, I get/have to do loans now. No longer am I just a teller, but I got all sorts of responsibilities that have made my job super fun.

2. Make treats for my co-workers. Muddy buddies. They're the easiest.

3. Eat, sleep, be merry.

Photo: Family. We are family... even if Greg doesn't ever let me take a normal pic.
