The Reader's Digest version!
What happened this year:
We discovered Goblin Valley in March. We really want to go back.
We moved to Meridian in May. I never want to move again, unless it's into my very own house. In Meridian. Preferably in the Sunnybrook ward because these people are some of the best!
Aaron and I celebrated our anniversary in July. We also had a visit from some Seattle friends (who are now California friends) for the 4th. Good times, all month long!
Henry turned 4 in August.
We renewed a long-lost friendship from our NY days (he was one of "our" missionaries and has since married an awesome lady and made a family!) in August (and fell in love with Montana in the process).
Laurel and Will entered their first, but not last, fair projects. Some big victories for them, and plans for next year are already in place.
At the end of August, Aaron began his third (and final!) year of law school and I ran my first 5k.
Caroline turned 2 in October.
In November, Laurel hit double digits at 10, William got baptized and became a scout at 8, and James is ever happy being 6.
And throughout the year, we've been busy with homeschool, quilts, new callings at church (I'm now in the Primary presidency, so very busy, but very happy with it), Cub Scouts, activity days, piano lessons, etc. Life is busy and beautiful.
Plans for 2014:
One heckuva graduation party for Aaron in May. And then a "passed the bar" party. And a "swearing-in party." He's going to get a lot of parties this year.
A quilt retreat for me at the end of January up in McCall. I'm a bit giddy about this one, to tell the truth.
More homeschool, more quilts, swimming lessons this summer, more piano, more Cub Scouts, more activity days, more fair projects. More life!
