2015 In Review!

As the new year approaches, I've been looking back over what a crazy and busy year 2015 has been. It's had it's fair share of low points for sure, but it's also had some amazing high points and that's that stuff that I will choose to continue remembering and thriving for continuance in the upcoming year.

Here's a little recap of all the great things we were up to throughout the year.

Trips: We enjoyed a family trip to the Arches and Canyonlands, Mike and I enjoyed a short trip to St. George, and a weekend trip to Vegas. We celebrated our 15th anniversary with a trip to Lake Tahoe, San Francisco and Big Sur, celebrated the 4th of July with another family trip to Bear Lake with my extended family.   We also did our annual camping trip for my family reunion and attended Mike's Corporate Board Retreat in Santa Fe.

Activities: We had 2 successful seasons of soccer, another season of football, several art classes and started dance classes and have attended 2 very successful dance recitals.  Along with enjoying many local trips to the aquarium, the zoo, a Bees game, Wheeler Farm, Swiss Days, a hot air balloon festival and several Paint Nites for us grown ups.  Mike also made his chalk art debut at the Chalk Art festival and had a very successful first round. We celebrated all of the holidays as a family and were able to make it to a ton of Halloween and Christmas activities throughout the valley and successfully pulled off the Ghostbuster themed costumes.

Concerts: 2015 was full of concerts for us. We got to enjoy concerts from NKOTB, Imagine Dragons, Kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks and the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Kids: The kids celebrated the finishing of 1st and 5th grades and the starts of 2nd and 6th grades and the grand entrance into preschool. Along with partying hard while turning 12, 7 and 4.

Us: As stated before, Mike and I celebrated 15 years of marriage and also turned another year older. We've been keeping ourselves busy with all of the above and every other little thing that has popped up along the way. We are truly thankful for all of our family and friends that have stayed along for the ride and for the new friends that we've made throughout the year.

May 2016 bring nothing but new adventures, more family time and be full of as many memories as 2015 has been.

Cheers!
