Lots can happen in almost a year!

Well, I seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth this past year. I didn't make the blog a priority because life got busy. So, here's the past year in a nutshell. Details of it are on my Instagram and in my chapbooks.

1. Harper, Max and even Mason did lots of modeling up until we moved. It kept us very busy.
2. We visited the Philippines in November 2016
3. Our first Christmas as a family (just our family) was a beautiful success
4. We made new, amazing friends in the Bastian family. They moved there in November of last year and quickly became our closest friends. We miss them very much.
5. We went to Beijing and Kohlanta, Thailand on the island of Krabi with Kim, Sue and Olivia in May 2017.
6. Max turned 4 and we had a big joint party for he and Matt.
7. We got new orders to Walter Reed Medical Hospital in Bethesda Maryland.
8. We left Korea on July 25, 2017 :(. It was a very sad day for us. We miss it!
9. The flight home was pure hell. I never want to fly patriot express again.
10. We went to Wenatchee and visited the Davies family.
11. 1 1/2 weeks in Montana for the Mellor reunion (Jul 30- Aug 9).
12. Not long enough in Bloomington for the Law reunion (Aug 9- Aug 13).
13. Yellowstone park on Aug 13 and stayed the night in Sioux Falls, SD.
14. Mt. Rushmore on Aug 14 and stayed near Nauvoo, IL
15. Nauvoo, IL on Aug 15 and stayed at my Aunt Karen's house in Indianapolis, IN
16. Arrived in Bethesda and checked in to the Navy Lodge.
17. Moved into our new rental (which is on beautiful property) on Aug 25, 2017.
18. Harper has been registered for school and will start on Tuesday Sept. 5, 2017.
19. Mason started to take his first steps on Aug 26, 2017.


So, that's basically our past year. It's been pretty fun and very eventful. Maybe one day, I'll get pictures put up, but for now, I'm behind on my kids shutter fly books so that needs to take precedence.  We have been very fortunate and blessed to travel so much and afford such nice things. We are continually grateful to our Heavenly Father for all that we have. We are alive, healthy and beyond blessed. We are of course eternally grateful for our Savior and all He did for us so that we can have eternal happiness as a family.
