It's been a couple months since I've updated, and boy! There is alot to update.
So I'll make it quick as quick as possible:
*On October 20th we made our way to Disneyland and we had a WONDERFUL TIME! We spent Allen's 25th birthday out there and he had a blast. We loved it!
*Our laughs and giggles on our vacation came to a screeching hault on Sunday(the 24th) when we were involved in a car accident. I hit my head(but no worries, I walked away with a headache and a few sore muscles). Allen was not injured, thank heavens. But our poor little car didn't make it. Long story short, our car was totaled, we had to rent a car to come home in, and then we immediately started a search for a new car. Despite the car accident, our vacation was still wonderful and I'm glad we went.
*In November we were able to find a car that fit us perfectly. It's the perfect size for a small family car, it had incredibly low miles, and the previous owner took such wonderful care of it. All signs pointed to "yes" on this car. So we bought it and we couldn't be happier with our decision.
*November also brought a delicious Thanksgiving dinner spent with my mom's side of the family. It was wonderful to see all the family together.
*December was a busy busy month. As I'm sure it was for all of you as well. Birthdays galore! My sister's birthday, MY birthday, cousins and aunts and uncles' birthdays! Such a wonderful month to celebrate!
*Allen surprised me on my birthday with a trip up to Ogden to IFLY UTAH, aka, Indoor Skydiving. What a rush! It was so much fun to feel like I was flying. We are DEFINITELY planning on doing that again soon! Allen spoiled me with fun gifts, birthday surprises and goodies, and fond memories.
*After the birthday madness, we immediately jumped into Christmas mode. Christmas shopping, wrapping, baking, Christmas music, cleaning, cooking, and so on! Allen worked on Christmas Eve until about 5pm. From there we drove up to Layton to the Christmas Eve party hosted by Grandma Poulsen. It's always such a treat to go up and see the fam. Food was eaten, songs were sung, gifts were exchanged, and The Fat Man himself made a guest appearance for the little ones to visit with. What a great night.
*Christmas morning was wonderful. Allen and I woke up bright and early at 7am and enjoyed watching each other open our gifts, one at a time. I must say, the past 3 Christmas' that Allen and I have spent together as husband and wife have been some of my favorite. Sharing that time with just him in the morning has been so special to me and I will always cherish these fond little moments.
We definitely spoiled each other this year. We got some fun stuff! :)
After presents, we got dressed and drove up to Allen's parent's house. We had a delicious breakfast, exchanged gifts, visited for awhile, then parted ways for the day. We then stopped at my parent's house to say a quick hello and see their fun gifts. Then we drove back to our apartment and relaxed for a bit while we got ready to go to the Family Dinner later that evening.
Christmas Dinner was spent with the Dumas Family at my Gram and Pop's home in Orem. The food was delicious and the holiday spirit was in full swing.
All in all, this Christmas was spectacular. I'm sad it's already over.
*New Year's Eve was spent with good friends, fondue, movies, games, and lots of laughter. I got my New Year's kiss from my sweet husband. Then New Years Day we went out sledding, which probably wasn't the BEST idea for me since I had a cold already. It was still a blast though.
So there ya go...That's the final update from 2010. It was a good year. I learned lots of things. I had ups. I had downs. All of which resulted in a fond memory or a good lesson to be learned. At the end of this year, I'm happy with where I'm at in my life. I have a wonderful husband who loves me, a cute little apartment that I'm happy(and blessed) to call Home, cars that work and get us from A to B, a job that continually blesses our lives, and wonderful friends and family that support us. What more can a girl ask for? :)
