I can't believe that 2018 is over and that we're halfway through January 2019!
Time goes by way too fast. I think it's a symptom of getting older. It boggles my mind. Seriously.

I have loved looking back at our pictures this year and seeing the the memories
and moments that have been created. Some of them I didn't blog about, post on Instagram,
or write in my journal (because I'm so very far behind) and it's been fun reviewing the entire year.

In our books California is always a good idea. This trip did not go as planned because I got the flu
and was miserable for a few days! But this made the top {18} because
#1 How can you not love CA? and
#2 We were walking through the Viet mall and Andrew reconnected with some people that he taught 10 years ago!
They moved away and Andrew never saw or heard from them again, but then there in the mall with
thousands of other people (99% of them Viet) they recognized each other and it was a happy reunion.

2. Celebrated my mom's birthday
Random to be in my top {18} but this was one of the best times I've had celebrating a birthday.
It was all about my mom. We made her dinner, had her favorite drink, and her "cake"
was cinnamon roles because she could eat those every day.
I loved celebrating my mom and making her feel special and you could tell she
loved it and every surprise we gave her.

3. Got airpods!
Life changer!

Andrew surprised me with these on Easter and I don't know how lived before.
When I go to the gym I am doing weights, and burpees and a bunch of other stuff.
I would constantly need to take out my headphones to do the workout and my cord would constantly
tangle up and I would have to stop and fix it.

My gym experience has changed and I love it! So grateful for these!
And for Andrew for surprising me!

My freshman year roommate got married and I was able to be bridesmaid.
She is a wonderful human being and I loved celebrating her day.
This is the most Vegas picture of all 4 of us I could find. We went to see WOW and the name says it all!
Totally recommend! We laughed a lot and partied hard on this trip!

6. Employee of the Year
I was awarded Employee of the Year in my school district and at the school I work at.
The 2017-2018 was a really hard school year. We started the school year with only 2 staff members in
the classroom (plus a signing aide, thank goodness or we would have died).
We needed two more people but we didn't have them till about October. Tears were definitely shed.
But we worked it out and ended with a great year!

(and yes, that is my maiden name. still have not legally changed it...🙈)
He left shortly after Andrew and I were married and it was fun to welcome him home.
I also did his Homecoming video. It's by no means professional, but I enjoyed putting it together just the same.
I read 25 books before I turned 26. I kept going and it went to 26 for 26.
I loved doing my personal challenge!
I have wanted something that says, "America" for the 4th of July for THE LONGEST TIME!
I found it and I love it. Random, but I've been looking this for years!
12. Andrew got accepted into Grad school at UVU
14. Dennis got endowed!
Our friend Dennis got baptized a year ago and Andrew was able to fly out to
Connecticut for his endowment.

We are so proud of Dennis and his example to us!
He has changed and the light he brings is contagious!

Beautiful. And we were in better shape from the last time we went.
The difference that makes.

16. Went to Denver to see friends + the Denver Temple
Our friends moved to Denver this year and we went to visit them and explore their new city.
Plus, we were able to visit the Denver Temple where my parents were married. ❤

18. Really happy with our fitness goals and progress!
Andrew lost 42 pounds this year! I didn't loose quite that much but I am really proud with the progress
I have been making and how much my body can do! It's been fun to to do this together!

2018 was quite the year! A lot of improvements have been made and we've had a lot of fun doing it all, along with a lot of hard work.
We have some fun things happening for 2019 and to say we are excited for some of them is an understatement!
2018, we loved you and we're excited for all the 2019 memories and experiences we're going to have!
