so this is the new year

after reading everyone else's end of year re-cap and new resolution blog posts i feel like i need to post something too. i'm usually really in to making new year's resolutions and such, last year kyle and i even sat down, talked and made a few as a couple. i can't remember what they were anymore... but we made some! but for whatever reason this year i just wasn't feeling it.

i feel like we're kinda in limbo right now. we're sort of just waiting. waiting for this chapter in our lives to end and to start a new one. and until that new one starts and we have some idea of what that life will be, its hard to make future plans and goals.

ok i just read what i wrote above and its sounds a little depressing. but i promise that is not what life is like right now! its actually really good. i've been getting more temp work, kyle's really enjoying his internship, the weather has been WONDERFUL, and we're both healthy and happy. so in lieu of resolutions i think i'll just do a few highlights of the past year and a few future highlights:

2011

• i graduated with my BS from dental hygiene school--yayyyy!
• family reunion w/ kyle's family in utah
• family reunion with my family in montana over the 4th of july
• our 1 year anniversary
• california for danielle's wedding/disneyland
• i dyed my hair brown, and it magically grew long and luscious 
• thanksgiving in houston
• kyle finished his last semester of undergrad classes
• and he quit his job at the MTC right before christmas
• and then he stopped shaving
• christmas in fort worth

2012

• kyle will complete his internship at the hospital in june which means...
• kyle will graduate from BYU in june!!
• we will move to texas in july
• where we will both find full time jobs. that we love. (hopefully)
• then we will find a cute place to live that has a little bit of outdoor space so we can plant a little garden
• and i will soak up the texas sun, and get a major tan, and my teeth will look really white next to my tan, tan face
• kyle will apply to PA schools, interview and get accepted into a texas (hopeful)  PA school
• meanwhile we both work our butts off at our jobs so that hopefully by the end of the year we can pay off all my student loans. this one's a little ambitious, but we're hopeful. how many times have i used that word now?

yup i think that pretty much sums it up. we're kind of just waiting for kyle to graduate so we can move on with our lives and see where the future will take us. but life is good right now, and we are trying to enjoy it, so here's to a great 2012!
