2009 I started off the year with my future Husband David and my family (The Hovans). I then started my last semester of school with a 30 credit course load, and a 40 hour a week job. Lets just say I didn't think I was going to graduate. Also found out my sister was prego!!!
February 2009 Made a trip over Canadian spring break to Thatcher, AZ and I drove it, 24 hours of driving :P But it was worth it to see David.
March 2009 David came up to Lethbridge for his spring break.
April 2009 I GRADUATED!!! I know that the only reason I graduated was from a promise I made to myself in my first year of college not to do homework or study on Sundays. I do honestly believe that is one of the only reasons I past, and the Lord sure was looking out of me there. David sister Celeste got married!
May 13, 2009 David and I were sealed for all time and eternity in the Bountiful Utah Temple, it was a very exciting and emotional day. One of the best decisions I have ever made was to marry David. I also met some of David's sibling for the first time, which was very cool since David hasn't seen them also since he graduated high school. We then moved to very small Thatcher, AZ (But I have learned to love it here)
June 2009 David started full time at the Mine and went through same very emotional roller coaster rides that I think are slowly starting to die down now, we will see how the new year goes.
July 2009 Found out we were pregnant, was really excited and couldn't wait.
August 2009 Went and pick up Eliza in Santa Rosa, NM for a week long stay at Auntie Di's House and a visit with Grandma and Papa Hovan (My parents come to visit). We all went and saw the Grand Canyon for the first time. Mine and David's Parents met for the first time. We also found out we missed carried. It has been a very emotional time for me, but it has also been a blessing. We would have had huge medical bills that we would not have been able to afford. We have also learn a lot from losing our baby. I know the lord was looking out of us, and is still looking out for us. I also believe that Mine and David's Love for each other and the Lord has grown a thousand time stronger. I also drove Eliza back to Elgin, OK and spend just over a week with my sister as I went though the "Healing process" I was glad to be with my sister at this time because she had gone through the same thing and was able to help me. If I had been at home I would have been a lone all day long with no one to talk to and I know I would have felt very lost. I love my family very much, and really don't know what I would do with out them and David. So August was also a very emotional month but has been a huge blessing.
September 2009 Kaila came to visit for a week, it was so nice to have one of my friends from back home come and see me. I miss Lethbridge a lot but I know I am suppose to be here. Chrissy also had a baby girl, she named it Michael Amelia.
October 2009 We went to Utah for David Mission reunion and conference and to spend time with his sister and her family. We also had our first Canadian Thanksgiving away from home, we had friend over to celebrate with out. And my sister-in-law Emberli had a baby boy, she named him Benjamin Matthew.
November 2009 We went to Elgin, OK to have American Thanksgiving and for Eliza's Baptism and Michael's baby blessing. It was so much fun to spend time with my family, my Mom and Dad came as well so it was good to see them. I miss them all the time :( when we were there we had a early Christmas with Mom and Dad and Chrissy's family.
December 2009 Was David birthday so we went and spent two days in the Valley. We were also able to spent Christmas with his sibling up in Utah, it was nice to get to know them better, I enjoyed my talk that I had with Emberli one night when the boys where out doing some shopping. I learned things I didn't know about her and the family it was nice. And we also got to see little Benjamin and her girls. We also bought all of out Christmas decoration for next year!! since it was all 50 percent off!!!
This year has been a great one even with its ups and downs learned a lot about myself and other, it was good can't wait to start 2010 with a new slate!!! Happy New Years Eve everyone :D
I love you! We were so happy to have spent so much time with you! This year will be much better!
