Why Hello 2016

Well 2015 was pretty much a long party of amazing-ness. And I totally neglected to post anything about it...Oops. This post is dedicated to repenting and sharing some of the highlights of last year. 

Starting with...

May 25,2015: Mission Tour! Colorado

I was Elder Grimes MTC teacher and here he is living at Sister Armstrong's house sleeping on the same bed I slept on when I was a missionary serving in Montrose. How crazy is that? And how crazy is it that I got so tan!

May 28 - July? Family/Reunions/Road trip

After getting back from my mission tour we drove up to Washington and hung out with my family and David's family. Then went to bear lake for David's family reunion.

After parting ways with David's family from the reunion we started on our official trek to adulthood/the woodlands Texas/David's job training with Exonnmobil. We decided we might as well make that trip into a road trip. We stopped at Mesa Verde to check out the cliff dwellings.  

We also stopped at the Carlsbad Caverns. Which was Amazing!

July 2015-Work training in The Woodlands, Texas

Eventually we landed ourselves in The Woodlands, Texas! We stayed at a resort for 2 weeks and then moved to a residence inn for about 2 and 1/2 months. Even though our vacationing was suppose to be officially over I went on quite a few buisness trips with David. We visited New Orleans, Glenndale Arizona, and hung out on the coast. I started school and David got all trained up for work. We had a lot of fun and made some good friends. 

After our time in The Woodlands, David got his assignment for his sales territory and we found ourselves moving to Southern California!

October 2015- Move to California

We found a perfect little apartment about 3 miles from the Beach. 

All of our stuff got here about 3 weeks later and we finally got to open our wedding presents! We love our new home and are making some really great friends. 

December 2015-Christmas & New years

This year was our first year cutting down our very own tree. David has cut down tons of trees for the farm but this was his first he got to pick out for himself. We loved our little California pine. 

We split time with my family and David's family up in Washington for Christmas. It was a blast!

We ended our year with some really good friends, Mike and Megan, at an 80's dance. Perfect way to end such a crazy/fun/life changing year!
