2014 in a nutshell

I can't help but think how good life is, and how blessed we've been. We had a very fun and busy year. January we resettled into our little Hawaiian home. February we took a trip to Tokyo with Ashley and my dad and I worked a lot. March Keith stayed busy with school and we both spent a lot of time acting like tourist in Hawaii. In April Keith earned himself his third consecutive 4.0 and full ride scholarship to BYU Hawaii. We started off our summer trips by traveling to Micronesia, Guam, and California. And most exciting, we flew to Arizona because our little nephew Troy Rampton joined our family. In May Keith dominated the DAT, scoring in the top 5% and we flew back to Hawaii because Keith was honored as the outstanding general chemistry and organic chemistry student. We spent an amazing two weeks in Taiwan, where Keith served his mission two years prior. My heart really beat for him as I saw him in his element with the Taiwanese people and saw how much they loved him. June was spent in Arizona, dental shadowing in Utah and Colorado, a couples vacation in Mexico with my parents, and Dubai with Ashley. July was even more busy. We went to lake Powell, Las Vegas for Keiths dads barbershop competition, Michael came home from his mission in Costa Rica (Keith and Michael finally got to meet!!) and back to lake Powell. Then we went to Venice, Paris, and on a cruise to the Bahamas. But it didn't stop there. In August we completed one blissful year of marriage, went to Georgia, Madrid, Ireland, and another couples trip with my parents to Italy. In September, after two days back at school  (for Keith) in Hawaii, we flew back to Utah to see Clark home off his mission from Argentina! October was busy with dental school interviews for Keith and a trip to Hong Kong and Australia with my parents and Ashley for me. In November we took a quick weekend trip Seoul, South Korea, and Max, Alexis and Jackson Jolley came to vacation with us in Hawaii for a few fun filled weeks! We also went to Utah to watch Kent win the football state championship, 5 days in Kona with family and Thanksgiving in California. In December Keith got accepted to Dental school in San Francisco at the University of the Pacific! We also flew to Singapore, New York, Colorado, Florida, and Costa Rica.
Whoa. 2014 was full of adventure. I hope 2015 will be equally filled with fun adventures, only different ones. Like moving, dental school and..... A baby?!?! (This is not an announcement, just wishful thinking/planning/dreaming/hoping!!)

We have truly been blessed. The greatest blessing we have is our knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ and our loving Heavenly Father and His plan.  Life is so good and so rich. Cheers to all 2014 gave us and cheers to a new beginning in 2015!
