My 2012 Yearbook!

I got the idea from Pinterest to make a family yearbook instead of scrap booking because I am not as crafty as my talented mother! Anyway after finally figuring out the Shutterfly software and getting my pictures uploaded and arranged I have ordered my book for 2012! Feel free to take a look at all my best 2012 pictures.

Endings: Dinner with the Snows and Mike & Natalie

We had one more dinner with wonderful friends. We will really miss them and the time we got to spend with them!

Endings: Last Dinner with Nathan

Making dinner with Nathan about once a week has been a tradition for us since I moved to Las Cruces. So we made sure to make that happen one more time in our last week of being here!

The guys went to the store and bought all kinds of yummy food! I didn't eat any of the seafood so my dinner with salad and chips with dip. =)

Our pastries and Black Books (our new funny British show)

We're going to miss Nathan and are trying to convince him to come visit us in California this summer!

Endings: Josh's Graduation.

The month of May began with much business. After my trip to Utah for Rebecca graduation I came home and resumed work along with the search for a storage unit. 

Eventually we found one we liked and got a good deal on and we ended up getting one with climate control so we could put everything in there and not worry about it.

So we began the work of packing our things up! It began with our canopy frame that Josh made for me before our wedding along with the larger dresser and my desk. At this point most of our belongings are already stored safely!

The Allen wrench was hurting Josh's hand and this was my solution. =)

The cute little snowman I made at work one day out of playdough

On Friday evening half of my family arrived. They had dinner with us and then we headed over to Josh's parent's house where my parents and Joshy were staying.

Saturday was full of fun and then in the evening I had lots of people to help me decorate!

She was excited how her nose shaped the streamer roll

The spread for Josh's party

We were so blessed to have so many wonderful friends come to show their love and support of Josh for his graduation. It was a very fun day and we had a great time! It was convenient that we could have his graduation party right before we leave and say goodbye to many wonderful friends that we won't see until we are back to visit in a few months.
