Have you left already? My, it seems so sudden. One minute
you were there, and the next, you had gone, allowing 2015 to fill the void you
left behind.
2014, I would first like to thank you for a wonderful
year. This year had a lot of memorable highlights. If you don’t mind, I would
like to go over a couple of those, since obviously you deal with a lot of
people, and you probably won’t remember my year specifically.
In the beginning of this year, I was pretty busy. You
might remember, but I was preparing for my wedding, so things were a little chaotic.
Jeremy and I wanted to have some really special pictures that meant something
to us, so for our engagement pictures, we decided to go to Snow Basin Ski Resort. Our
photographer (http://www.rltphotography.com) was amazing, and we got some beautiful pictures. Here, in case you
would like to see a few, I included some below:
It was a pretty stressful experience to plan a wedding,
but it was all worth it on March 7th, when we were sealed together
in the Logan temple. What a beautiful day that was! I wish I could include all
of my pictures here, but there are so many good memories and pictures, I had to
narrow it down to a few:
2014 was also a great year for travel! For our Honeymoon,
Jeremy and I went to Las Vegas. We got to see some fun shows, and eat a lot of
delicious food. Definitely the highlight for me was the Cirque Du Soleil show
we got to see.
In the end of April, we went to Moab with my family.
There, I got to go skydiving with my brother and sister, and we had a good time
on the trails.
Over my birthday (but not because of) in June, we went to
Hawaii as a family. My little brother was leaving soon on a mission to Korea,
and wanted to take a family vacation before that time. I don’t have any
pictures of our trip to show you, but my parents put together a neat book they
gave us for Christmas, full of pictures. We went surfing, snorkeled with
dolphins in the wild, and on my birthday, Jeremy and I went to dinner and had
literally the best meal either of us has ever eaten.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to spend much time at Bear
Lake this year, but in August I went with my mom, Aunt Karen, Sister, and
friend Stephanie to Bear Lake for Girls’ weekend. It was a great time, as Girls’
weekend always is, and we had some laughs.
July, we went with Jeremy’s parents to Cedar City to see
the Shakespeare Festival. We saw a couple plays, Into the
Woods, and one of the Histories. I believe it was King Henry the somethingth…
In August, Jeremy and I went to Tuachan to see their
production of The Little Mermaid.
Jeremy had never been to Tuachan before, and we were both impressed with the play
and the effects. I also took Jeremy to Angel’s Landing. He had never been up,
so we took the death march all the way to the top. I wish we had had time for
more hikes, but we just had time for the one.
Then, in November we got to travel over Thanksgiving with
Jeremy’s parents to Florida, where we went on a cruise. There were some nasty
tricks Mother Nature pulled, but we had a great time, and got to go see Tulum
and a Mariachi band in Cozumel.
So, we were pretty lucky this year with all of our
opportunities to travel. We also had some other pretty big family events happen
this year:
My younger brother went to the Provo MTC in July, and is
now in Korea, serving a mission. My sister got married in October, and Jeremy’s
sister and her husband announced they were having a baby girl, with another
announcement shortly thereafter from my older brother and his wife. They are
expecting a little boy. There will soon be many more cute babies all around!
So pretty much, 2014, you have been awesome. I admit, I
was an abysmal failure with reading during your time, and I am already seeking
to remedy that. I have several goals, and am looking forwad to making even more
memories in 2015.
But let’s not waste our final goodbyes on forgetting all about
the wonderful times we had together. You have certainly made an impression,
2014, and I am forever grateful for you.
Thanks for sticking it out with me,
Darcy
