Another year has gone by! It's crazy how fast time flies, isn't it? Here's a recap of the year in photos:
 |
| Tyler Kayaking in Alaska |
 |
| My cousins live up in Fairbanks, so I visited them a couple of summers while I was growing up. I convinced Tyler that he had to go up there, and we had a blast! This picture was taken as we floated down a slough in Fairbanks. If you look closely, you can see the mama moose that we got just a few feet away from. |
 |
| My fat face and my family! From left to right: Scott (lives in Denmark), Jared, Ethan, Mom Victoria, Jeremy, Zach, Me, and Dad Alex |
 |
| This is Sophie Elise Tripp (notice the middle name??) getting photo bombed by my dog Loki. |
 |
| I got a new car this year! No more Mazda3 for me. I love this car. |
 |
| Sophie absolutely adores Tyler. Here they are hanging out during the summer at the Tripp house. |
 |
| I cut my hair off after growing it out for 3 years. Back to growing it out again! |
 |
| Tyler went on a hiking trip with his brothers right after we got back from Alaska. He was a bit of a mountain man for a couple weeks... |
 |
| I painted Tyler's toes for him as he slept during the October General Conference. He didn't seem to think it was his shade, though. |
 |
| Abby Tripp turned one this year! She completely demolished her cake. |
 |
| As Tyler went to NYC with his brothers in October, I found another man to keep me company. Meet Caesar.. |
 |
| I got really in to decorating our table this year. This is the Thanksgiving arrangement. |
 |
| Tyler and I were Zombies for Halloween. Aren't we scary? |
 |
| US Novelty bought a fun laser tag set. This is Tyler's dad Randy, who was gracious enough to join us for a couple of games. Yes, he's wearing a pimp hat. |
 |
| Our Gingerbread Village |
 |
| My favorite band, Anberlin, performed a free concert in SLC this December. I was able to get pretty close before the mosh pits scared me away! |
 |
| This was my dad's Christmas Tree this year. I love it. |
 |
This was my Christmas tree!
It was a really fun year! Some other things that weren't pictured… |
- I got a job at the South Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce in September, and love it! There are so many fun things I get to do and fun people that I work with. I love my job.
- My big brother Zach got married this August to a beautiful and sweet girl who fits in great with the family.
- My 'little sister', Whitney Tripp graduated from Alta High and started going to BYU.
- My big brother Jeremy moved back from New York (or was that last year?) Either way, I'm glad he's back home.
- My niece, Ava, turned 5!
- My mom released her book. It's called 'A Piece of Time'. I'm so proud of her! It's a great read. You can buy the book by clicking here.
I am probably forgetting a whole lot, so forgive me if I need to update this a few times (because that'll happen, right?).
All in all, though, this year has been fabulous. I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store.
