January
This was a very exciting month for me and a great start to the new year with me getting my job I had been searching for a long time! I was going to be working at the Lacidem Clinic doing things that I had trained for in school which doing my Unit Clerk course! It was so exciting to have a full time job and work 9-5 each day and my self worth went way up after this! Also January was an exciting month as I moved back into Lethbridge with my grandma and felt like I was finally starting to grow up! We also built our first skating rink out at Bretts house!
February
This month held my GOLDEN BIRTHDAY! I was 22 on the 22nd! I know this may seem like a nothing birthday but for some reason I was super excited about it! It was a nice low key birthday day with my closest girl friends and we spent the evening out at my parents house! Jade also had her 2nd kid-both on Super Bowl sunday--what are the chances right? Cru was an exciting addition to our family as well! Andin also sent me flowers on my birthday all the way from England! What a sweetie-even made me cry!
March
I can't think of one thing I did in March and can't find a picture either so I am guessing it was mainly working and playing with my friends!
April
Lots of excitement here! The flights were booked for Europe and we were to leave in a month! Andin was almost home and I made a road trip to Utah for conference with Ariel, Amber, Vicki, Lo, Ben, Craig, and Dan! It was such a fun trip and I love getting to go to conference even if its only quick trip and you feel like you never sleep! Haha
May
Almost one of the most exciting months of the year! I was inducted as well as the rest of the Pronghorn Rugby national champions into the Lethbridge Hall of Fame! It was such an awesome feeling and I will be proud of that as long as I live! Also Andin got home on May 16! This was a crazy day and i was overwhelmed with emotions and of course the only thing i could do was cry when I saw him! The second I saw him and heard his voice again I knew for sure things would work and I had nothing to worry about anymore!
June
We were off to Europe for our 3 weeks trip! We left June 17 and on June 19 Andin proposed to me on top of the London Eye! That was the most exciting thing of the trip but the whole trip was a blast! So time to start the wedding planning!
July
One of the crazy busy months I had this year! Between trying to plan a wedding and spending some summer vacation time with both our families and working I was super overwhelmed July and August went so quick the ran together! This year was also the first year I missed July 1st in Raymond which was sad but I couldn't really complain since I was in Switzerland!
August
Time to get married! Also another busy month as we had moved into the new clinic (Legacy Medical Centre) on the 1st of August and then planning a wedding and all that jazz I was super busy but August 25 made it all worth it! My wedding day was amazing but I have already blogged about that! We also left for our honeymoon in Mexico this month! In case you can't tell me and Andin like to travel!
September
Andin started school for his first semester back at the Lethbridge College! We moved into our first place together in west Lethbridge and got new callings in our Heritage Ward! It was time to make our lives go from Kenzie Ralph and Andin Pavan to Mr. and Mrs. Pavan! It was exciting but like any one that is married would say there are adjustments to living with someone as a spouse but it sure is fun! andin bought his first gun and the Grey Cup Train came through Lethbridge!
October
This month had halloween which is a holiday I still love even though I don't trick or treat and me and Andin dressed up and Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World! We also took a few trips to Calgary to watch Jimmy play for the Calgary Colts which was always fun!
November
Andin was very into hunting this month and even got his first buck! He was super excited about it and now it hangs in my storage room! Haha silly boy! I also spent a lot of time just working and starting to get into my Primary calling! Andin was going out with the missionaries every week or two this month and Andin's buddy Matt came home! And since we are practically neighbors they do everything together!
December
Time for the holidays! I love Christmas time because of the yummy treats the music and the whole spirit of Christmas and seeing all the kids get so excited for Santa to come to town! We did a lot of fun stuff with Mikki getting home to skating and curling and doing the nativity with both families! We also went down the the Cabin in Montana and I gave snowboarding a try again and yep about how i remembered it-painful and scary! I lasted longer on the hill this day and started off doing better than I ever have but all it took was one bad fall to get me going about 10 steps back! Well maybe I will give it another try! Who knows! And we rang in the new year lighting Chinese lanterns at the Cabin!
This year had so much fun and exciting changes that I can't wait to see what 2013 holds for me and Andin! I am sure it will be filled with fun and trials just like any year would hold and I look forward to growing as an individual and a couple!
Love, Kenz
