2013 at a glance.

2013 was a good year for us. In a nutshell, here's our year.

- We visited 5 new temples:

1) Redlands, CA

2) Jordan River, UT

3) Billings, MT

4) Draper, UT

and 5) Los Angeles, CA

- Oh wait, we graduated college.

- Brandon traveled to Miami for PA school interviews, and got in! (No pictures, sadly.)

- We started running together, and I ran in 5 races.

1) Color Fun Run

2) Dirty Dash

3) Temple to Temple Relay

4) Tater Trot

5) Santa Run

- We got to send Dallin off on a mission, and all the fun that came with it (aka Dane time).

- Got to see one of my best friends get married!

- I started my first teaching job.

- Celebrated our second anniversary by camping out in Yellowstone.

-Traveled to Mendocino with Brandon's family for their 30th wedding anniversary (which I need to blog about... whoops).

I'm sure there's a ton that I'm missing, but I'm so grateful for the blessings 2013 brought me. I'm also SO grateful that it's over, because it was a challenging year for sure. I love Brandon, and am so glad he is with me every step of the way.

2014 has a lot of life experiences in store for us- a move, a new job (gulp), a missionary coming home (yay!), PA School, lots of more running for me, and basically a new start for us. Bittersweetness.

Christmas Card pictures 2013

So, one of the best things about living in Rexburg is the fact that there are many girls (and guys) who have photography businesses and want to build their clientele. I'm glad to have some talented friends behind the lens, and was able to catch a mini-session with this girl before she moved to Dallas in 2 weeks.

We took some Christmas card pictures because I realized we haven't gotten pictures taken of us since Maine! That was almost 2 1/2 years ago.. don't even get me started. So yes it is Christmas themed. It was also 30 degrees outside so we were bundled.

(We did dodge a bullet with the weather though. This was taken the day before our first snowstorm, and 2 days before it started going below 0.)

I intentionally left out the ones on our Christmas card... yes we have a collage going. There are too many classic pictures from this year.

And now we can wait another 2 1/2 years to take more pictures! Just kidding.
