Looking forward to 2012

Looking back on it, 2011 was only a so-so year for me. I didn't feel like I made much progress in my life. I had a stressful job the first half of it, so I didn't let myself enjoy life like a gal my age should- I let myself turn into a workaholic and was blocking everyone close to me out. Not that everything was bad in the first half of 2011. A couple of exciting things happened: My sister-in-law got married in January and it was a beautiful wedding!!! Phil and I celebrated our second anniversary in April. And, my first ever niece was born in May.

But seriously, after I quit my job, it seemed that life improved dramatically. Phil and I went on vacation to Las Vegas in August. In September, I turned 23 and won tickets to a Disney on Ice show, which was awesome. And, I am at a really fun job, even though it's in retail, but I am hoping to work my way up. Oh, and Phil got through two great semesters at ISU and accepted into Utah State!!!

While we still have our trials, I feel so much better about the way our life is headed now- and, we have some big goals we would like to accomplish this year. Phil and I are feeling so good about Utah State. We have a couple of obstacles in our way at the moment, but if we are able to overcome those, we will be headed to Logan in May or June. We will celebrate our THIRD anniversary this year and turn 25 and 24, respectively. And, while we have been pushing it off for a while, we finally sat down and talked about our future family... and decided we will start trying for our first baby in August, at the earliest. That will give us plenty of time to prepare and by the time our little one comes into this world, Phil will only have two more semesters to go!

I think this is going to be a good year. :)
