HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New year, new blog!  Yes, that's right, I've decided to enter the blog world.  I'm a newcomer and I don't know all the ropes, so bare with me as I learn!

Welcome 2014!  I'm so excited to start this new year!  2013 was such a good year for me; I was blessed in countless ways.  Lets review what happened this year:

January:  I started dating Jackson!

February:  I got to be my best friend's Valentine and see two of my good friends get engaged.

March:  On the 9th, I got engaged to Jackson Mark Beazer!

April:  I became an official adult by turning 21.  I also finished another semester at BYU.

May:  I did a lot of wedding planning!  I also got to meet my future in-laws in Arizona.

June:  I went through the Twin Falls, Idaho temple on June 8th.  I was able to share that moment with my fiance, parents, grandparents, and aunt.  It was followed by an even more beautiful day, June 22nd, the day I was married for eternity to my best friend!  Four days before that, I was in a bad rollover car accident on my way to Idaho to help Mom get ready for the wedding.  By divine intervention, I was protected and barely even hurt!  While it wasn't the most ideal situation, many blessings came from it, and I'm grateful for the lessons I was able to learn.  Jackson and I spent our honeymoon in the beautiful Lake Tahoe.

July:  Since our car got wrecked in the accident, Jackson and I bought a new car.  However, that car got in an accident in it's way to us!  No worries, all turned out well.  I also worked at the MTC Bookstore all summer with my old roommate.  

August:  I got the flu four times.

September:  I started my fourth year of college.  

October:  I went to New York with Jackson and my family, a great adventure in the big apple!  

November:  I got to spend Thanksgiving with the Beazer family in Arizona.  Jackson and I also got to see a Phoenix Suns game for Jackson's birthday.

December:  Jackson and I finished another semester at BYU.  We spent Christmas with the Wasdens in Idaho.

It was a wonderful year, and I learned a lot about myself.  I'm grateful for everything that I learned and I'm grateful for the Lord's hand in my life.  I felt the Lord's love more this year than I ever have before, and I know that He looks out for me every day.  Here's to another great year full of love, faith, and life!
