2011 in Review.

It's 2012. 2012.That's just plain crazy.
And if the Mayans are right- and they usually are- this is our last year people! Apparently the end of the world is in 11 months. Who needs food storage now, right?

In spite of our imminent doom, I suppose it's still appropriate to recap the past year.

:: Many job changes (Mike: marketing manager. Alyssa: speech assistant,
intern in sales/catering, legal assistant at a Cottonwood Heights law firm)
:: We both graduated with our Bachelors degrees from the University of Utah!
:: Getaways and long weekends in Park City, Midway, Idaho Falls and San Francisco
:: Traveling abroad! Spain, Italy, Germany and France!
:: Subsequently, our first cruise together.. a 14 day Mediterranean cruise. (I loved. Mike didn't.)
:: Said goodbye to Dallin for two whole years. Talked to him on Christmas Day. 
He's loving life in Argentina.
:: Mike's first business trip. Aww, he's growin' up!
:: Saw an active volcano erupt LIVE.
:: Kelsey and I flew up to PA. Went to Niagara Falls and Toronto too.
:: Made some exciting plans for 2012.

I usually don't make New Year's Resolutions but after a chat with our friends Jade & Cody we have a fabulous goal for this coming year. Visit every LDS temple in Utah within 2012. We're really excited about going to so many new temples and finding things to do in the cities that we visit.
Here's to 2012!

holla for the shout-out!!

i am so excited about this! i think we need to get our boys more pumped about the "exploring the city" bit. i see myself pleading, "let's find provo's treasures." and cody shrugging me off with something like, "provo has nothing worthwhile. let's eat and go home."
