I can't believe that 2009 is here!! I distinctly remember being in ninth grade in 1999 thinking, "That will be so weird when it is ten years from now and it's 2009! That seems like such a "space travel" year... Anything close to 2010 is crazy!" (i was not always the brightest child...)
Well, 2009 is here, and things haven't really changed that much!! However, I must say, that 2008 was an AMAIZNG year!! Literally, I bet it will be the most important year of my life!! I mean, just the number of important life events that happened in one year will never amount to the same again as they did in 2008. Here are some amazing things that happened to me, ALL OF WHICH WERE LIFE GOALS that i have had since I was a little girl!! love it!!
1. I started dating my life long best friend Josh. (goal accomplished = date my best friend)
2. We got engaged on March 14 in Park City!!! (goal accomplished = get engaged)
3. I graduated from BYU with a Humanities/History Degree! (goal = graduate college)
4. I went through the Temple for the first time in Boise with Josh!! (goal = temple)
5. I got married in the Bountiful Temple on July 1 to Joshua Scott Davis. (goal = temple marriage).
6. Life continued on as we moved into our first apartment, spent time with our families, figured out how amazing it is to be married, and kept making goals and trying new things. We worked full time, Josh went to school, and we learned just how many more bills you get when you are married...
Overall, i got to cross so many life goals off my list of 100 things to do before I die. (megs, you know what I am talking about haha) The point of all this is simply to say how BLESSED i feel for such an amazing year. All of those amazing things happened to me because I am well taken care of by other people, and my prayers were truly answered. So before I welcome in 2009, I just wanted to say THANKS 2008 for probably the BEST year of my life!! I am so so lucky... I try everyday to live up to deserving it, and I have learned so much in the process.
ANYWAY.... 2009 is HERE TO STAY!!!!
Josh and I started off the year right, as Jan. 1 was our 6 month anniversary!! Can you believe it has been 6 months? That was so crazy to me to realize that!! But what a great 6 months it has been.
New Years eve we got to spend with some of our best friends!! Lindsay took me to lunch and to get Pedicures for my birthday!! After all of the stress of moving, it was AMAZING to relax and catch up with her. Then, she came over later, and we met Seth and Sue and all went out to dinner!! Then we headed over to play games with matt and sarah and welcome in the new year!! Here are some photos of the girls and the guys.... Linds, you are right. Some things do not ever change...
The Boys... just like it was yesterday... love them.
Linds, Sue, and I getting ready for dinner.
It was so fun to see everyone!! As we are looking forward to 2009, things are changing a bit! I will be going back to school to get my TEACHING CERTIFICATE!!! So I can start teaching grades 6-12 (hopefully 11th grade) any type of history, humanities, or social science class. This has been a dream of mine since I had a crush on my 7th grade Biology teacher, and I told him I wanted to be a teacher just like him. haha. While I was maybe joking then, ever since, I have not been able to get teaching out of my head. For years I have known in my heart that it is what I wanted to do, and I finally am letting myself get that dream accomplished!! So within a year, I will be all certified and ready to go!! It will be a hard year, an accelerated track, while still working at the bank, but I'm actually really looking forward to it!! I guess I am destined to be a perpetual student, and i have NO problems with that...
Josh is going to work full time and do school too!! He works so hard for our family, and he is being so supportive of me teaching. I am so grateful for that. Krystin is home for this semester, and so is Kayla! So that will be fun. The rest of our sibs, Ally, Karalee, Manda, and Jeremy, are all at school all over, so we will miss them!!
I am looking forward to running a race with my sister in April, so training for that will be fun!! We will probably end up moving again, and who knows what else the year will bring!! I already have about 12 books I want to read, catch up on scrapbooking, learn to cook (haha). I like to divide my resolutions into the following categories: physical, work, social, school, spiritual, family, money, and home. So needless to say, those of you who know how much i LOVE to make lists, know that i have TONS of things I am excited to work on!! I love what Megan said about change, and how we always have the power to change whatever we want to!!
Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I just wanted to say how excited I am for 2009!! Josh and I will hit the 1 year mark, and so many other amazing things are sure to happen. We loved 2008, but we will love 2009 even more!!!!
We love you guys!! Happy New Year!!
