Hi All My Wonderful Friends and Family!
Wow another year has run away! For lots of reasons I didn’t get to mail out Holiday Cards this year. However, I am posting this on the blog in hopes that some get to read it. It has been a year of lots of ups and downs. Overall, I am pleased to announce we are alive and I think ending this year on a happy note.
Scott continues to work at his investing and at Wal-Mart. He is also doing lots of great drawing and I really enjoy the evenings that he invites me to take a look at the sketches he was working on that day. He is still such a blessing to me, I love living with my brother and we seem to have fun most of the time. This summer we took a driving trip with Erik, Matt, Kiaya, Mom & Dad to California and he got to attend Anime Expo. I think he really enjoyed the first break he has taken in a while and enjoyed the guy time he got with his brothers. (Though I know they missed Shawn in their mischief making J )
Some of the wonderful ups this year for me included traveling, one of my favorite things to do. The driving trip with the family was a fun one, as well as my amazing world adventure with Mom last spring. I could write a book on all the amazing things we saw and did on that trip. I have hundreds of pictures, videos, and other memorabilia. Hopefully this year I will actually get some updates from that trip posted on my blog. I also had the blessing of spending some really great time with both Mom and Dad and just talking and driving and seeing parts of the western US. I am so blessed to have such an amazing family and I hope they all know how much I love them.
This spring I ended my time as manager at East Bay RV Park. It was a great experience and part of me will really miss the people I had the chance to interact with, both my staff and the wonderful customers. The park was sold, and after a lot of soul searching I decided that I needed to take the chance to move on in my life. After some frustrating job hunting and life evaluations I am again a full-time student at UVU (as opposed to the ongoing never ending one-or-two classes a semesters while working) and fingers crossed will be able to actually graduate with my bachelors in the spring of 2012.
Life seems to keep me busy in one way or another. I am sure next year I will look back and once again be amazed at how the time seems to fly. I am making an actual 2012 resolution to post at least twice a month on here, so keep checking back! I hope everyone has a wonderful 2012 and I look forward to seeing what is in store.
