2012 Catch Up!

 
2012 year in review
I’ve said it before but this time I really mean it!  I need to keep this thing up to date! 2012 was quite the busy year for us and its only going to get crazier here on out. Keep reading for all the fun details!  This is going to be the LONGEST POST EVER but it will be so fun to look back on it!
January 2012 We took a mini vacay down to VEGAS! Had the best time! We went to 2 plays, Phantom of the Opera and the Beatles show. We also went and did the Hoover dam tour. This was really fun! We’ve been to Vegas so many times and never done this tour! It was defiantly something worth doing.

 
February 2012 We got some news about the mountain view corridor highway being build and possibly coming right through our house! I took no pictures this month so I really have no idea what else we didL

March 2012 again no pictures this month, but we were informed sometime last month or this month that the highway was indeed coming through our house, so we would be moving!  We decided to build and probably spent most of last month and this month looking at lots and talking with builders.
April 2012 Chris turned the big 25! He’s old now! But still not caught up with meL I started thinking about how old I was getting and the big empty house we would soon have. I also started thinking about growing our family. Maybe Chris would be ready now that he was 25. we went to the zoo with my nephew Jax. This month the building of our dream home started!  We were beyond excited and ready to move! Because a road was taking our house we worked a lot with UDOT and the city because they pretty much took/bought our house.

May 2012 We continued to build and watch the progress of our home. We drove to the lot every day and watched the changes!  Mother’s day came and we went to Tepenyaki for my very first time. It was AMAZING food and fun. We decided that we were ready to start a family so we stopped preventing that from happening. To say I was excited was an understatement.







June 2012 my sister’s and I went to our sister concert for the year…DAUGHTRY! He was so good and it was such a fun night! We our house was finished and we packed and moved into our new home! It was so exciting to be in a new house with sooo much space!


 
July 2012 I got the exciting news that I could now work from home! Which couldn’t have worked out better because hopefully a little one would be joining us! I no longer have to compute to the office everyday and get to roll out of bed and start working! I miss my friends at work but thankfully we still email A LOT and I get to go in for meetings at least once month. No other pictures, but I’m sure we went boating and had BBQ’s and enjoyed the summer!
August 2012 Chris and I decided to celebrate our anniversary early and just the 2 of us went to Disneyland. I was 27 years old and never been to Disneyland!  It was such a fun trip and so nice to have just couple time away from work and friends and everything else!

September 2012 we celebrated our 3 year anniversary!  The last 3 years has been pretty amazing and I can’t wait for more! Through thick and thin we love each other so much and I’m so happy we got married 3 years ago! We went to Ruth Chris’ steak house and was SHOCKED with the extravagant prices! We decided our new tradition for our anniversary will be going to the homestead for the night! Way more fun and pretty much the same cost!
October 2012 this month we got the news that our lives were going to be changed forever! I took a positive pregnancy test!  I took it about an hour before Chris got home and it was the LONGEST hour of my life! When he walked through the door, he hugged me like normal and I said, “are you ready to be a daddy?” and he just held me and said over and over, “really! really!” I cried and we were both so happy and excited! I found out about the 2nd week of October but was so excited that on my birthday I told my parents! We were at lunch with my mom and I said, “so guess what Chris got me for my birthday?” then I said, “a BABY!” good thing she was sitting down because she went white but was so happy and excited too! I had to text my dad because he was working, but his reply was priceless, “ oh wow!  Make my heart run and jump! I will be a great grandpa!” I also got even older this month and turned 28! I got a much needed and WANTED treadmill for my birthday.
November 2012 we took a trip with Chris’ dad and little sister down to Zion’s National park and Bryce Canyon. It was beautiful and I can’t believe this is our back yard and we have never been there to see it!  At the end of this month we went to my Dr. and got to hear our baby’s heart beat and see the little bean on an ultra sound. They gave us our due date of July 8th 2013!



December 2012 I finally got with the times and got me an iphone. Hopefully I will be able to take more pictures now! We got to put Christmas lights on our new house and it looked amazing!  So pretty! Christmas was also AMAZING and such a fun surprise. Our driveway is really steep and in the snow my car was not making it up. I had fallen in LOVE with the jeep Cherokee’s. They were 4 wheel drive, #1 safety rated,  and not to mention having a baby seat is much easier in an SUV vs a car specially with my back issues already! I had begged Chris for months that we should get one… but they were sooooo expensive!  Well Christmas morning came and I open a present that lead me on a scavenger hunt around the house and the final present…. Parked in the garage… my dream car… a Jeep Grand Cherokee!  Chris did make me compromise on the color, I would have picked white or grey, but he went with Red and I will deal with it!  I love it so much and It’s so nice not getting stuck in the snow/driveway!

And that my friends is our year for 2012… told you it was crazy! Can’t wait for 2013! I just know it’s going to be even crazier and I’m so excited!
