2o1o ... Lator gator.

I can't believe 2010 is really over. I feel like it flew! We accomplished so much this last year and we're anxious for the adventures that 2011 will bring.
{favorites from the 'ten}
 *Cousin Abe left on his mission in February. The Australian people have enjoyed his company for nearly a year. - one more to go!

*April 24 - we were finally married. I will never forget kneeling across the altar from my sweet Colby and not being able to breath or hold back the tears.

*The Jordan River Temple is where we made it official. This is also the Temple that my big brother Taft married his wife Lesha. Being sealed for time and eternity in the same place that they were, means more to me than they will ever know.

*One (or two) of my all time favorite pictures. *My wedding day, Taft's wedding day.

To have all my siblings be apart of our big day was priceless. Their love and support is endless.

*We took a much needed road trip to California with the whole family.

*We attended Colby's very first Dodger's game.
*We made memories we will never forget.

*Elder Mitch Carter returned home from his mission in July. It was soo good to finally see him again.
   -Mitch may never know how much it meant to us to see him wearing the tie we sent him for the wedding, we were sad he missed it but we felt him there all day.

*September. Cousin Aaron left to serve our country. We are all so proud of him and his hard work.

*We also made a trip to Colorado just after Taft and Lesha moved and were settled.

*October. Colby took me on my very first Elk hunt. I have to admit, it was much much more different than I expected but we had a good time.

*November. We moved. I miss my own Kitchen more than words can express but I don't miss our little apartment. It feels good to be somewhere secure.
  Colby worked night at day to make our new place feel like a home.

 

I don't believe I've taken 'after' pictures. coming soon.
 *We shared Thanksgiving with my entire family. It was amazing to have everyone in town!
I also ran a race on Thanksgiving morning with my Big sister Kady, I'll never forget this. Someday I hope to be a real runner, possibly even a marathon one, but I may never be able to talk myself into running in 9 degree weather with a hoody on. 

December. I'm so disappointed in myself. I don't have a single picture to share. Maybe Later?
We had a great Christmas and were spoiled rotten. My first Christmas as a Carter was unforgettable.

{2010} brought us so many great friends, memories, and lessons.
We are incredibly anxious for 2011.
