• 2011

  Wow!  What a year!  Every year I evaluate where I started the year, and how I ended the year.  I evaluate the difference in my life and the differences in me.  2011 was a definitely a VERY big year for me.  As last year ended, Brandon proposed to me and so the new year started with wedding plans.  Brandon and I were able to get most of our wedding planned by the end of February.  My mom came out to visit in January to help me pick out my dream dress.  February I was promoted to the title of manager in my company.  March Weasley and I moved into a new apartment in LaPorte.  4 months later Brandon and I were married on July 23.  Several close friends came in from California for the occasion including to very close girl friends that came to be my bridesmaids.  I truly believe that I had the most beautiful wedding ever!!!! :)  Brandon and I spent a full week in Cozumel for our honeymoon, and then it was learning to be a husband and a wife for us when we returned... plus jumping in our crazy work schedules while I tried fitting in school.  Brandon and I have definitely had our ups and downs, but I am proud to be his wife, and love him with all that I am.  In September I joined back up with the worship band at church after a 10 month break.  It has felt good to be able to sing again.  In November, Brandon and I flew to California for Thanksgiving to visit my parents, brother, and our niece Mikayla.  December I was nominated as manager of the year in my company, and on July 22 was surprised when the VP of my company showed up at my office with the actual manager of the year award for me!  It was a real honor to win this award.  I was not even the manager of the office for the full year, and had been nominated along with several other experienced, well-deserving managers.  I am looking forward to my future in this company.  Christmas was a grand affair as I went from being the aunt of one to SEVEN after marrying Brandon.  I love being Aunt Krysta!  We're looking forward to our next nephew who is expected to arrive at the beginning of April. 2011 is ending for Brandon and I with us in separate states.  I am currently with my mom who is visiting from California.  We are visiting my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles who live in good ol' Cuba, IL.  Brandon is working the evening and paying for my gas here :)  JK... New Year's Eve is a big night for him at the restaurant so it is worth it for him to be there.  I am looking forward to what 2012 has to bring. January marks a lot of "anniversaries" for me.  It'll be 5 years living in Indiana, 4 years being part of my company, and 2 years since I first met Brandon.  The three big things in my life that have really changed me and have grown me as a person.  I don't know what 2012 will bring, but I am praying for a lot of good things.... Maybe even the start of a baby?  Who knows?  :)  Happy New Year to everyone!  I pray this year finds you joy, peace, and blessings!

   

  Love,

  Krysta
