Yes I know it's already the middle of February, but I wanted to highlight some great events that happened in 2012! Since I have already posted about some of them, I will just do the ones I missed!
Not sure how I missed this one, but Maddison Raelene Pear was born on January 18, 2012. I missed being there for the birth by only a few minutes, let's not talk about that, but was able to be there and hold her when she was just a few minutes old! Isn't she the cutest?!? She was definitely spoiled by this auntie of hers! She also just turned ONE last month! It is crazy how fast they grow up.
We also got to go see Wicked at Gammage! That was probably one of the funnest things I have done! My dad had been wanting to go for a long time and when he heard it was coming to Gammage he told me I was in charge of watching when tickets go on sale. Of course I was on board! My mom, dad, me and my friend Caelan all went. It was seriously such a good play and I can't wait to see it again!
In November, my best friend got MARRIED! It was already weird when people I graduated with got married, but when it's your best friend it makes it so much more weird! Hayley and I have been friends since we were babies. We are only 4 days apart and have been in the same ward our whole lives! We have had many good times and I love her so much! :)
In December I had the opportunity to go back to South Dakota to not only visit Brad, Heather and their kids, but I also got to be there when Emmie Elizabeth was born on December 3, 2012.Heather had an at home water birth with a midwife so I was able to be there from the time she went into labor until she was born! Since I am going into nursing and labor&delivery has been on my mind as something I want to specialize in, it made it an even more interesting experience for me. The body is amazing and the babies are such a MIRACLE. I may or may not have cried when she was born, and she's not even my own child! It was a sad day when I had to leave. Isn't she adorable?! I love being an aunt. :)
Technically this happened in January 2013 but I am now living in Tucson. My sister-in-law Kristy got a promotion at her job here. So while Kristy, the kids, and I are all living here in Tucson, Matt is finishing up his contract in Eagar. It makes it a little rough but you do what you have to! It was funny because I had gotten used to the small town with no traffic and quiet for 5 months that it was almost an adjustment back into the big city life! It has been good here, nothing too exciting but there are many Targets here which makes living here okay!
Well that's all!
