Year in Review...as in Last Year

Hello!

It's late....for me, meaning it's 8:40pm on a Friday night after a full week and I can't keep my eyes open.  Haha.  This is me trying to stay up until at least 9 - almost there :) As I have relaxed tonight, I have invested my time organizing my photos from this last year and putting together playlists for my drives home from work.  As I have gathered photos, I have fully enjoyed looking through them and reflecting on memories.  It has been a great year...as in last year.  A lot of new things - a lot of new friendships, responsibilities, and learning opportunities.  And this new year has gotten off to a great start.  My intent is to simply post some pictures from the last year, but I also want to share what I have learned:
- Never let fears guide your choices
- God wants what it best for me
- Relax.  It's good for you
- Life is supposed to challenge us
- Relationships are more important than anything else
- Seeking advice, though intimidating and scary sometimes, can be exactly what you need
- Practice makes better
- Try to be good, and everything will work out
- Early to bed and early to rise hopefully makes a woman healthy, wealthy, and wise :)
- We are not perfect, and that is why we have Christ.  He enables us to do things we cannot do without Him.

I'm grateful for the gospel that guides my choices, my feelings, and my thoughts.  I am a better person because of Christ.

Family time at Thanksgiving - always wonderful

Sometimes we look good.

April 3rd 2015 - special temple day at Draper where I received my endowments the same day two years prior

Hawaii 2015 - :)

Back at BYU and back taking pictures on my walks to and from school because it is just. so. pretty. always.

My bro.  Love him and missing him miles away (living in Europe nowadays)

Some of the Hixson girls. 

Summer drives=Happy drives

More beach time

Some people you meet and you instantly love.  This girl is one of those people.  Love you Hermana Daniela <3

True contemplation..?

Learning pattern-making! So grateful I could finish up my BYU classes with this one!

Finally tried Chick-fil-A

Epic Hawaii picture

Spent a weekend with this my neices and nephew.  I enjoyed playing mom for a couple days and curled Bella's hair for church.

Roomed with some incredible girls and formed lasting friendships.  

Little mohawk going on.  Clara, my youngest neice.

Fun with friends!

Mission companions reuniting after much too long!
