What a Year!

Well I have been slacking big time with my posting.  I meant to publish this post on New Year's Day.  Now that January is half over I figure I better find time to write.

This post is going to be about the last 12 months of Bubby's life and my life.  SO much has happened this year.  Our lives have changed for the better in so many ways!  I think the best way to go about this is month by month.

In January, Bubby got home from his mission in Honduras.  He fulfilled his mission in honor and hard work.  I am sure that the Lord is pleased with the way he served Him.  While Bubby was starting his adjustment into normal life, I was still in Guatemala starting my very last change (transfer) and worrying about how I would adjust to normal life.

Then in February, it was my turn to finish my mission.  I served the Lord to the best of my ability.  I also know, through the power of the priesthood, that the Lord is pleased with my work.  I came home and began my adjustment while helping plan my sister's wedding.  Bubby was job hunting and starting at the singles ward.  He found a temporary job and did well.

March was the start of "us".  After my sister's wedding things settled down a bit.  I headed to my MTC companion's homecoming mid-way through March and that's when I met Bubby.  We hit it off.  I was still on the hunt for a job.

In April I was hired on to be a head volleyball coach at a local high school.  Bubby found a more permanent job doing construction clean up.  We traveled to visit each other while we dated.

May was the month that Bubby purposed marriage and I said yes!  We started planning and getting ready for the wedding.

In June there were a few family reunions to enjoy and more wedding planning.

July was the biggest month for us.  It was the month of our sealing and the start of our eternity together.  We were able to travel a bit and relax.

In August we moved into our new apartment.  It just fell into place to get that apartment.  We also got ready for school to start.

September was the start of school.  Bubby was new to the college experience and it was the first time I had been back to school for two years.

October was a slow month and nothing much happened.

In November we had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving with Bubby's family.

December brought a new surprise.  We found out that we will be parents in August!  Christmas was celebrated at my grandparents house.

So those are the highlights of the year 2012.  So many blessings came into our lives. We finished our missions, we met each other, we started eternity together, and we found out our family is going to grow!  So many big changes in our lives and each has brought us joy and happiness!  Hopefully 2013 will be just as amazing as this last one!
