One year later...

It has been a long time since I have done this.

A lot has happened in the past year that I should have been updating.

So here goes my attempt at being better.

At the end of 2013 I had a friend from high school who did a recap of her whole year in a post.

I loved it so much that I kept a list of things that has happened in 2014.

Our 2014

January:

-Started of our first full year as a married couple

-We went to Disneyland together for the first time with his family

-We made a quick trip to Utah to attend my first sealing and watch my best friend, Heather, marry her Jacob.

-Mom and Meg come to visit us in Yuba City, CA

-We welcome our niece, Danika Laveve Hardwick, into the world and went to the hospital to meet her

May:

-Jarom has his background interview for CHP

-My wedding ring was stolen from our hotel room. :( Saddest day ever

-Jarom finds out he has been disqualified from CHP

-We have to start from square one concerning Jarom's career

June:

-Jarom and I buy tickets to go to Thailand in August to visit where he served his mission.

July:

-I donate plasma for the first time and HATE it.

-Jarom takes a CNA course

August:

-I start work at Legacy Preparatory Academy as an instructor

September:

-Jarom starts work as a CNA (and HATES it)

-Jarom decides he hates CNA work and would rather teach high school

-Grandma Pat passes away on September 27, 2014

October:

-We attend Grandma Pat's funeral and I speak at a funeral for the first time [nerve wracking]

-We make a quick trip to Gridley for our niece, Regan's, baptism

-I decide to cut off some of my hair, thinking it was a good idea [I was wrong]

-We have our second Halloween married and dress up as Medusa and her Stone husband

November:

-Celebrate Jarom's 28th Birthday

-Spend a few days in Gridley for Thanksgiving Break

December:

-I get put in as a permanent teacher in the 4th grade at LPA [not overwhelming at all-enter sarcasm]

-I spend my first Christmas away from my family [Thankfully, I have the best in laws ever]

-I turn 25 (yikes!)

I am amazed at the many blessings that Jarom and I have received in our marriage.

The Lord truly is aware of us and I know that it is because of Him that I have been so richly blessed.
