Accomplished 2014

I really enjoy taking a look back at what my family experienced each year. I hope to do this with my kids as they get bigger. =] So for us Walkers, here's the highlights:

{Vacations}
  • We took Brynlee to Disneyland for her first time! She was mostly stroller-bound but had a great time! 
{Jobs}
  • Joe changed companies in December after being with Rio Tinto for a year and a half. He is still with them part time, but is now working for Wasatch Electric. 
{Family Changes}
  • We lost a family member in December, Joe's cousin Justyn, who was a bright spot in all our lives. He was only 20-years-old and we all still struggle with him actually being gone.
{Big Purchases}
  • We bought a HOUSE! 
  • We had to buy a hot tub that worked to go with our house, of course!
  • We bought a little commuter car from my cousin that Joe will drive to work now.
{Family Events}
  • I turned 30 this year!
  • None of us had to go to the hospital this year, thank the Lord! Especially since we didn't have insurance all year.
  • Joe participated in two days of "Total Archery Challenge" at The Bird and spouses came and stayed the night and we had a large party! It was a blast!
  • Brenna started preschool in the spring and completed three months. She then started at a Christian preschool for the fall. She is doing fantastic!
  • I ran my first 5K ever! I loved it!
  • I went to Vegas with my best friends for the first-ever Lantern Festival. 
  • Brenna started tumbling classes and is learning how to use her body in new ways!
