We found out we were moving...... to Utah.... out of nowhere when I was 38 weeks pregnant.
We had a baby!!!!! (Best part of 2012)
We spent a lot of sleepless nights learning how to take care of a baby.
We put our house up for sale.
We went to visit Utah so that I could interview for new jobs.
We found out we sold our house on the way home from Utah after only being on the market for 7 days. (I really miss that house!)
I cried a lot about leaving our house, family, friends and my job.
Uncle Kevin graduated from The Ohio State University. (That was a very eventful trip with new little babies)
Quinn had her first Easter.
Quinn and Nolan both got baptized.
Dave and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary and he bought us tickets to see Michael Jackson cirque du soleil show.
We moved into my sister and brother-in-laws house for a few months. That was such a great time and we are so thankful that they love us enough to let us stay with them!
We spent a lot of time with family and friends before we moved.
We had family pictures done.
Uncle Kevin moved to South Korea to teach English for 14 months. We miss him like crazy but are so proud of him taking full advantage of life and living his dreams!
I quit my job. It was very hard to leave Children's, I loved working there! I look forward to going back when we get back to Ohio. I miss all of my co-workers like crazy!!
We went on vacation to Nags Head, North Carolina and had a great time.
Quinn did not like the sand at first.
I love those chunky legs!
We moved across the county with a five month old, 2 dogs and 2 cars. Luckily my parents were able to come with us and they helped out a ton!
We added some fun to the move and went to Las Vegas for the first of three trips this year.
Aunt Julie came and helped us make our new house a "home" and we were so thankful for her help!
Quinn started daycare.
Dave and I both started new jobs.
We went back to Las Vegas to see my sister and brother-in-law and of course Nolan!
On the way to Las Vegas we visited Zion National Park.
We spent Memorial Day weekend in Park City with Dave's family and visited the Olympic Park.
I quit my first job to start a second job at the Utah School for the Deaf and Blind and love it there!
We made some really great new friends. It is so nice to have people we enjoy being with since our family is so far away.
We went home for Nolan's first birthday party!
Dave went on TDY and Quinn and I spent our first time alone in the new house. Luckily we had friends to keep us company and were able to go see some local witches. (trying to get 4 kids to smile for a picture is difficult).
Dave's sister and nieces came to Salt Lake City and we got to spend a weekend with them.
We went to Denver for Quinn's first Thanksgiving.
We went to Vegas for the third trip to see some of our friends that were in town for a convention.
We went down to temple square to see the Christmas lights.
We went home for Christmas and had an amazing time with our family and friends. The trip was not nearly long enough and we are exited for them to come visit us over the next few months. Quinn met Santa and she didn't even cry!
We rang in the new year with our friends here in Utah and slept in until noon today as a family.
This year was full of changes. I learned a lot about myself and appreciate everybody who made this year so wonderful for our family. I am looking forward to 2013 and what it will bring!
Blessings are good... life is GREAT.
