This is our 4th Christmas together, and we have never sent out Christmas Cards. I think it's just not our style, but I figured a nice post to tie up the loose ends of 2016 might be nice. And actually, I typed up a really nice post detailing our entire year, but my computer lost it all. :( So now, you get the Spark Notes version.
Here are a few of our 2016 highlights...
- I left my job at Independence University to work for Entheos Academy, a charter school in Magna
- We went to Moab with some of Colten's family and had a blast at Arches National Park
- We went to Disney on Ice with my family
- We had so much fun camping in Moab that we bought our first trailer together
