Silver Lining: Year in review (the annual link-up!)

December 27, 2013

Year in review (the annual link-up!)

My annual year in review link-up is back! Here's a little look back at what our family has been up to this year (these are almost all clickable links). The link-up is at the end!

JANUARY

We formed a different kind of new year's resolutions, made a very important decision, and invited my husband's little brother to come live with us. It's totally changed our lives, and we're loving it. Also, my trooper husband took pictures with me in the snow despite a terrible head cold.





APRIL

Started off the month with a bang by making my fifth grade students cry on purpose, did a family challenge where we tried new things and thought outside the box, came back to campus after a year of teaching to finally walk at graduation, and recreated a picture of my parents. Also, my students said lots of funny things in April.


MAY

Successfully finished my first school year of teaching (woop woop!), went to Moab with my family and took about a million pictures of beautiful red rocks, hosted a blogger meet-up, and learned a lot about myself when I cut off all my hair for locks of love. Also, what I do besides my actual job.


JUNE

Started the summer by going on a vacation with my fellow fifth grade teachers, answered some Q&A about our ward of the state, one brother came home from a mission and another brother left (I sobbed my eyes out), and I had a beautiful shoot with some wildflowers. Also, facial hair and murder suspects - you know, the usual.



AUGUST

Started up my second year of teaching, shared what my classroom looks like this year (but now there are a lot more broken crayons and pencil shavings), and celebrated two whole years of being married to the man who now has the sexiest goatee I've ever seen.


SEPTEMBER



OCTOBER



DECEMBER

I turned 24 (and ate about 24 pounds of sweets that day), went to the lights at temple square, made it through my fourth angel day with so many good people (part 1 and 2), went sledding, and wished everyone a very happy Christmas.
