Alot happened this year and it was all GREAT stuff!
- Welcomed a fun, new nephew to the family.
- Sewed lots of stuff for our new arrival.
- Chase continued serving in the bishopric.
- Lauren made her arrival (a whole week late!)on March 31 and has been our world ever since!
- Chase managed to finish Spring semester while getting pretty much no sleep.
- My little sister got married!
- I continued working part-time as a sample testing technician.
- Spent a night in Park City with my best friends since high school.
- Went to my little brother's high school graduation!
- Had a great summer vacation with my family in Bear Lake.
- Moved (again) due to a very unexpected rent increase at our old place.
- Celebrated Chase's 26th birthday.
- Played lots with cousins.
- Chase got several raises at work and applied for a Systems Administrator position.
- Went to New Mexico for a cousin's wedding. (Flying with a baby is no longer scary.)
- Back to the old grind of school in August. But it was our last semester!
- Celebrated my 24th birthday.
- Had a fun Halloween at my sister's and Lauren dressed up as a Lady Bug.
- Discovered Pinterest.
- Spent a great weekend at an Island Park cabin with Chase's family.
- Chase passed his CCNT certification. (Means he knows alot about computers and networking.)
-Spent Thanksgiving with my family.
- Found out we'll have a new nephew or niece on the Christensen side of the family!
- Lauren learned how to army crawl, wave, clap, give cheese grins, fake laugh, pull herself up in her crib, say Dadda and Momma, spit, stick out her tongue, roll over, sit up, open drawers, and all of the other fun stuff babies bring!
- My Dad found a great job close to family.
- Chase graduated!
- Spent Christmas in Idaho Falls with the Christensen's.
- Chase started his "new" job full-time and salaried.
Funny how life can change in such a short time. Our small family has completely changed, we're living in a new place, family members are doing new things with their lives, new jobs, good opportunities. Who would have thought we'd be here right now doing the things we are?
2012 is shaping up to be an eventful year as well. We're looking forward to:
- Me quitting work in the next month or so.
- Losing all of this pregnancy weight.
- Chase getting used to the new job.
- Learning cake decorating.
- Chase rebuilding his computer... again. :)
- Enjoying evenings at home together without homework and school stress.
- Finding a HOUSE... our apartment renting days are numbered!
- Lauren having her first birthday.
I feel like we've just ended a chapter of our lives and started a new one. I remember talking to my sister about what it would be like when we were no longer students but "real adults". We're there, and it's a little scary. We know how to do school. we've never NOT known school. But we're excited to see what the next few years will bring with all the changes and adventures.

This has been an eventful year! It feels like our 2009... I was thinking about that year today. That was the year we had Grant, moved states, started Kyle's job, bought a house, and finally started to feel grown up! Congrats. 2012 is going to be great!
