2013

As the last hours of 2012 begin to wind down, I'm starting to reminisce on all the things we did this last year. We had some ups. We had some downs. But all in all I believe it was a really good year. :)

Feburary- February was a good month. You want to know why? Because my parents and Dave and Carol surprised us with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan concert tickets. Upon surprising us with tickets I burst into happy tears! The concert was an ABSOLUTE blast and easily the best concert I've been to! So so fun and I'm so so happy to have that memory with my family! :)

March - Liz and Adrian got married!! It was stressful and crazy all until the night of.. when everything went just as planned and it was an absolute blast! Something I don't think any of us will ever forget!

June - In the warm summer month of June we packed up our camper and pulled it down the road.. 10 minutes down the road that is. We got a site at a camp site real close to the house and the Stutes and us spent the weekend camping. We were right on the lake and spent out days swimming, fishing and just chilling. Sandy even came over one day and taught us how to play Poker..

June was also the last month we had Brother Letcher. He seriously was the best C.O I think I've ever spent time with. He has a whole different way of teaching. He made everything seem so real and practical. Still to this day when I have a bad attitude I think about his talks and his attitude and I'm ready to pack up and head to Houstan all over again!

July - Do I really have to explain what went on in July? This years July party wasn't as big as it usually is, but it was just as fun! David, Kelli, Logan, Parker, Dawson, Bob, Tami, Sam and Tressa made it for the festivity! We spent a day at the lake and a night around the camp fire! We also spent a day in Duluth and went to Spirit Mountain and rode the Alpine Slide! (if you've never been, its a blast!) Then we drove north to go to Gordys, a little burger joint that was featured on Guys Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. It was definitely a dive, but it was oh so good!

September - We are Warriors!! Mike, Sarah, Liz, Dad and I all ran in the Warrior Dash! It was an absolute blast! I SO didn't want to do it, but I made my self to it anyway and I am so happy we did! It was so fun and we're all planning on doing it again next year! September was also the annual Devils Lake. Again, such a blast! This year was interesting because me and Mik spent our nights in a tent! It was the first REAL time I had been camping in a tent. David let us use his tent and cots, which was awesome. David, Kelli, Dave, Carol, Mom, Dad and I hiked up to Devils Door Way which was so beautiful!

October - October was such a stressful month. It started when the town had a benefit for Mom to go to Rochester and it was such a success! Swansons and Wenskys and my Grandparents surprised us by coming up and supporting us! Then after the benefit we moved to Rochester for the first time. The first time was the hardest and it definitely will be a time we wont forget.





I'm sure I'm missing so many awesome things we did this year.. but as the time still ticks down, I'm thinking about my new years resolutions. We're starting back at the top of the year and I feel like the slate gets wiped clean. Its like Monday, every one gets a redo. This next year I just want to relax for a second. I just want to take this year to relax, have fun, find out more about myself and not take it to seriously. I don't want to do anything huge next year. Just take some pictures and have fun.

I'll see all you lovelies next year.

Love you all.
