Went and saw one of our favorite performers, Cory Morrow. We requested he play our future first dance song and he did!!
Played in the snow & ended up getting the truck stuck...

September:

October:
Signed our first contract to build our house but then cancelled due to lots of reasons! This was really hard for me to understand at the time but everything happens for a reason! It turned out to be a true blessing! But just for memories, here is what it would have looked like. 


November:
Painting with the bride to be!! Can't wait for next July when she gets married!! MOH duties are starting...

My beautiful sister got her Aggie ring!!

Signed a new (& way better) contract on our new home! Expected closing date is May 15th. 

Wow! Looking back through all of the pictures from this year brought back so many wonderful memories. I can't believe so much happened in one year. I am so blessed to have everyone I do in my life!!! Here's to 2012 and it being a great year!
