Last Five Years

I wanted to reflect on the last five years. I stole this idea from my wonderful friend, Brittney. I can't believe how much has happened in those five years. Its insane to think five years ago, I had just graduated high school and moved up to Logan to start a new life. Five years ago, I met Brian, who I didn't know was going to be the love of my life. I had big ideas back then about where I wanted to be now. I wanted to go on a mission, get my degree in nursing and maybe get married. Its crazy how life takes a different route than what you think. Obviously Heavenly Father had other things in store for me.

Five years ago I moved into my first apartment with the lovely ladies Brittney, Missy, Traci, Emma and Rosie.
I met the love of my life, Brian.
I married Brian after 10 months of dating.
We went to San Fransisco for our honeymoon.
I worked for my brother-in-law, Steve, as a secretary.
Brian got promoted to manager at Standard Plumbing in Salt Lake.
We moved to Kaysville with my mom for 2 months while we looked for a house.
We went to Boston baby!!
We bought our first home in Syracuse.
Brian got moved to the Sandy store.
I went to massage therapy school.
Brian and Jared started QPC.
Brian dropped out of college and hasn't gone back.
We sold our first home and moved back to Logan.
I graduated massage therapy school.
Brian and Jared worked like madmen.
I started taking clomid to try to get pregnant.
I babysat the cutest little girl, Haley.
We went to Hawaii!!
I did 12 months of clomid and four treatments of artificial insemenation but finally got pregnant!
We bought our second house.
We built the entire inside of our house, minus the electricity and drywall.
Brian's brother, BJ, left for his mission to London.
We finally moved in, with most the house done :)
Our little angel baby was born.

Brian started working with Scentinel.
I went to Oregon/Washington with Missy.
We both got really busy callings.
Ethan started crawling.
Heidi got married. Everyone in the Mathison family is now married!
And Brian is still working like a madman.

Our lives have been crazy for the last five years but what an adventure! We are so excited for what the future has to bring.
