Our family is little, but a lot happened this year! So, I thought I would make an online Christmas letter/update about how our life has been for the last year. :)
Ryan and I got married this past February 17th. It was the best day ever! We had our reception the night before and it turned out perfectly, and almost everyone that we love was able to come. I prayed really hard that the weather would be nice for the day of our sealing and it was! It started raining RIGHT after we finished taking our pictures. Perfect timing! :)
We then went on a fun honeymoon to St. George where we were hoping it would be warm and sunny, but that just wasn't meant to be. We got to enjoy some fun hikes though while we were there, despite the cloudy weather.
Other than our wedding, we spent the year taking lots of classes and doing lots of homework and working hard. Ryan is going to UVU, he is doing pre-nursing right now and is planning on eventually becoming a nurse anesthetist. He works at Sam's Club and is grateful to have a job. I am going to BYU and majoring in Family Studies. I spent most of the year working in the mail room of the Administrative building (ASB) and occasionally get to deliver mail to President Worthen. It almost feels like I am meeting a celebrity! One time I even said "Good Morning" to him, and he said it back. So, we're pretty much best friends. :) During the Fall Semester I also picked up a job working as a Teachers Assistant for one of my professors. I mostly grade papers and answer questions, but it's a good job.
We haven't done any crazy traveling throughout the year, but we did fly to Texas in May to see my family and to introduce Ryan to all the people I know there. We enjoyed swimming at the neighborhood pool and I enjoyed getting to eat some Round Rock donuts while there (Round Rock donuts are the very best donuts there are. Just so you know.) We also went to his family reunion in Park City, which was a lot of fun. In November we took a mini weekend vacation to Manti, Utah. We rented an airbnb for the weekend and decided to just relax and enjoy the small town life.
At the end of November we announced the big news that we are expecting a baby. She is due on May 16, 2018 and we're pretty excited for her to come. (But not too excited, we don't mind waiting a while for her to be here). She has caused me a lot of trouble these last 4 months, but I can't blame her because I've always been picky too. I only deserve to have a baby that is so picky that nothing I eat is good enough for her, and she sends it all back. (Luckily, modern medicine has created a solution for morning sickness and I have been able to keep more food down for the last month.)
That's probably the biggest news that we have to share, but on a smaller note, we were called to serve in the Nursery at church (this involves playing with the 18 month to 3 year olds and giving them snacks.) It's a dream come true for Ryan, and it might be difficult for them to get him to ever leave.
We are still very in love with each other and love being married more than anything else. This year has been one of the very best yet, and we can't wait to see what the future holds. I hope you are prepared for a million pictures of our cute little posterity in coming year. And we hope that you have enjoyed this past year as much as we have.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
The Vorkinks
