2009 In Review

My internal battle over sending Christmas Cards ended almost as quickly as it started. Needless to say, I didn't send any out. My logic got the best of me, and since we had sent out Announcements and thank you's with photos, I talked myself out of sending another picture of the Newlywed Rotheys.

So, here's our year in review:

January: Wedding planning? I can't even remember 01/09. I wasn't as good at documenting on the blog then.

February: Collin turned 27. More Wedding planning. Went to CO for a Bridal shower.

March: Collin and Traci got married in Denver, CO. No more commuting between Logan and Provo for visits. Finally living in the same city (LOGAN, UT) for the first time since 2006.

April: Collin's parents left for their Mission in Uganda, Africa. Traci got a part time job @ Hallmark in Logan!

May: Rothey's go to CO for Jen's Bridal shower.

June: Rothey's went to CO for Jen & Dustin Trail's wedding!! Traci turned 25. Collin finished goldsmithing his first ring (Mozambique Garnet).

July: Rothey's went to the Red Roof Cabin (Island Park, ID) for 4th of July & ran 5k. CO for Traci's Moms Bday!

August: Traci quit Hallmark and started the new/current job @ Chase Bank!

Sept: Rothey's hit their 6 month anniversary!!!

Oct: Emily & Aaron (and boys) came to visit and stayed a wknd with us! Sanders and Denneys come to visit for the Halloween wknd. Collin finishes his 2nd ring for me(fabrication, this time... Blue Topaz).

Nov: Collin's sister, Casey, marries Steve Nichols!!! Rothey's went to CO for "Wicked" wknd. Had Thanksgiving with Denneys in Alpine.

Dec: Rothey's celebrate their first married Christmas together (and celebrate the 1 yr anniv of our engagement on Christmas Day). Rothey's head to CO for a quick Christmas vaca to spend with the Thornton's.

We have had a great year and are extremely grateful to our Savior, Jesus Christ, who has made all things possible. We are grateful for our testimonies of His Gospel and for all that we have. We hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas!!! Travel safely, whether you're flying, driving or staying! May 2010 be a wonderful year for everyone!!!
