Happy New Year

2010 has come and gone. All I have to say is, so far 2011 is looking great!

I spent New Years Eve in Cedar City with my favorite guys in apartment 9. We had pizza, played a game, has some bubbly and popped poppers in the porch at midnight. It was a lot of fun. I went home for a few days. It was nice to spend time with my family. I got to see my little brother wrestle his heart out at a meet and win his matches. Katy and I got to mess around while Cody wasn't wrestling. I even spent a day in Ephraim visiting Hannah. It was a lot of fun!

As this week came to a close I went to Loa to spend a little bit of time with the Hamilton's. Jared showed me how to have fun in the winter in Loa. We went ice skating on a real pond in Wayne County. We even built a fire on the ice! He even taught me how to cross country ski. I had never been, but it was a blast. We went through powder and even the middle of fish lake, which was frozen. I only fell a few times. Considering it was a first I was very proud of myself. It was a great time. I love these new experiences!

A few pictures to show how much fun I really did have!

I love the snow. This stream was so beautiful with all of the snow covered rocks and trees!

An End To 2010

I am so lucky! I have the best people in my life anyone could ask for. The Holidays are a time of year that sure do help to reinforce that in all of us.

When I finally got some time off of work Jared and I jumped in the car and headed to Nephi for a few days. It snowed a ton so we made a snowman.

This is the five of us in front of our snowman. By the time Jared and I left three hours later the kids down the street had knocked our poor pathetic snowman down. I guess our snowman making skills are a little rusty.

I worked another day. Then Jared and I spent a day at his house. They had no snow at all. While in Loa, Jared taught me how to drive his old standard transmission truck. Unfortunately there is no picture of this great occurrence in my life. Trust me after fours years with a license this was the first good experience.

Merry Christmas! Santa found the Williams House. We were all very spoiled and enjoyed the time we spent together reliving the Christmas traditions we have had since as long as I can remember. I didn't take any pictures because dad was filming everything.

After Christmas I was lucky enough to spend time with the Hamilton's. We took a trip to Temple Square to see the lights. One of my most favorite things to do at Christmas time.

Jared's brother Ben takes a very nice picture. I enjoyed spending time with Jared and his family.

New Years Eve was spent in good old Cedar City. Jared's roommates, Jared and I made our own fun. We went out for pizza after the basketball game, played a board game, and ate treats. We even popped poppers on the steps to the porch right at midnight. It was one of my favorite New Years Eve's.

2010 was good to me. I had a lot of experiences that I was able to learn and grow from in this year. I took a spring break trip, was in a show choir, graduated from Institute, worked hard in school and over the summer, watched my sister graduate from high school, got my dream job, served as the Relief Society President, and lastly met a wonderful man who makes me so happy. All of these things have helped me learn and grow. I am so grateful for each of these experiences and the things I have learned. I look forward to 2011 and the opportunities it will bring!
