A Year In Review

So 2010 has been a big, monumental year. Like big! It has a great year.

I started off the year humongously pregnant and working at APX. Kenny was working at the testing center. We were both taking classes and anxiously awaiting the arrival of Miss Harper and preparing to move to Washington D.C. for an internship.

Harper was born. We learned that being parents was crazy, hard, and absolutely WONDERFUL! We were all in love at first sight. We also learned how hard it was to function on minimal amounts of sleep.

We no longer felt right about going to D.C. So within about 2 weeks, we found a new apartment in Provo, Kenny got an internship for the City of Provo, we both signed up summer classes at BYU, and continued learning how to be parents.

We celebrated 2 years of marriage!

We had a fun reunion weekend with Kenny's family up in Alberta.

Kenny GRADUATED!!! We are so proud of him! He interviewed, interviewed, and interviewed some more.

Harper grew, grew, and grew some more.

We sold our contract, packed our stuff, said good bye to Utah for the time being and moved to Texas to continue the job hunt.

A week later, Kenny go a job that he had applied for up in Utah. And again, we are so stinking proud of his amazingness!

Went to Houston and spent a fun filled week with Kenny's sister, Heather, and all her kids.
Kenny started the job and the traveling commenced. Harper and I are having a blast playing with Gran and Grandpa Dethloff and all the uncles and aunt.

Harper grew fang teeth (see post below) and is continuing to grow and learn like CRAZY!

Kenny went to his sister, Linda's, wedding. Harper got sick so we stayed behind. :(

We had a fabulous Christmas (Harper's first was so exciting) with my family and enjoyed getting to see my brother, Brian, and his wife, Katie. It had been way too long.

We have learned A LOT this year! It has been quite the transitional, growing period for all of us. We have seen the Lord's hand guiding our lives countless times this year. We have received unconditional love, support, and guidance from our parents and siblings and grandparents and just everyone. We are ever so grateful for our families and all the many blessings we have received this year.

We are looking forward to 2011 and all the changes and growth we know that it will bring.
And to end, a cute picture of Harper....
