Wow, what a busy year this has been.  As I look back at everything that has happened this year I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. Here are a couple highlights from 2011..

Highlights:

• We got engaged!!! March 31st of this year
• We transferred from Utah State University to Utah Valley University
• Dad won 1st place in state in the Golds Gym weight loss challenge and 2nd place nationally.
• Cody got back from his Mission from South Carolina and is now going to school in SLC
• Brandee Graduated from High School and started up at UVU
• Ashley graduated from UVU in exercise science, moved to Seattle for a couple months and is now living in Hawaii where she is going to Nursing school for the next 5 years.

• We got settled into our first apartment in Provo, Utah
• I officially and legally changed my name from Chelsey Akana to Chelsey Swanson

As far as both of us can remember, that is about all the main highlights from this year.  Our year consisted mostly of planning our wedding and getting our post wedding life put together as well as Dillon constantly working and attending school summer semester. We cannot wait to start this new year, this year is going to be so much fun! so far we have been married 2 and a half months and it has been total bliss.  We have set some goals for ourselves for 2012 and are ready to ring in the new year!
