Here's a glimpse of our 2015 broken into month-by-month highlights! Read to the end to find my big announcement.
January--We found super cheap plane tickets to CA and introduced the kids to their first taste of DisneyLand!
February--Cami got accepted to BYU!
March--Spence's Make-a-Wish trip finally came through and we all went to NEW ZEALAND!!!!
April--Emma went on her 8th grade trip to Turkey!
May--Spencer hit his 3-year mark of being in remission from leukemia!
June--Cami graduated from high school, gave the valedictory speech, received several scholarships, and in general left HS with a bang!
July--I spent my third year in a row at YW camp!
August--road trip to Idaho, Colorado, and Utah! We enjoy spending time together as a family before dropping Cami off at BYU.
September--We went to Michigan to witness what turned out to be BYU's biggest football flop of the season. On the bright side, we got a super cute picture of our family, which had it included Spence and Cam, surely would have been on our Christmas card this year!
October--I stayed completely awake through all four sessions of General Conference and took detailed and colorful notes.
November--Epic girls' trip to San Diego to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday, which was awesome, even if it did mean that I lost my brain afterward.
December--Glen and I went on an awesome anniversary trip to NYC.
And, finally why you're all reading this far in the first place, I have decided that after nearly nine years that it's time for me to retire from regularly posting on this blog. It's simply too much of a distraction for me and less of a joy than it once was. I still may post here occasionally for out-of-the-ordinary occurrences, but I will no longer be challenging myself to blog about the day-to-day happenings in our family anymore.
Alright, alright...you can stop cheering now.
I will truly miss this blog as an outlet and definitely miss the connection I feel from it.
Now I will leave all of you, dear readers, with a little Lara silliness in the form of a video we made for my dad's fake birthday today:

ReplyDeleteThis announcement makes me sad. But I also understand that life changes and gets busier. Thanks for blogging for 9 years. I sure loved reading it.
ReplyDeleteI know I have blogged less and less over the years, but I received a letter from a family member who told me they enjoyed reading my blog and read about my family. It gave me the desire to keep on going. I enjoy reading your blogs and I hope you don't stop entirely!
