2001

The first and biggest event of 2001 was our wedding, of course!

  The following week we started our next semester at BYU.

Here we are in our "New to the Ward" bulletin board photo for the Provo 19th family ward.

In February, Matt went to Canyonlands with Katie and Chantelle.

Being on the BYU Ballroom backup tour team, I enjoyed performances throughout the Utah area. 

In May we went to visit the Robinsons in NM to see baby Joseph.  We also spent some time sightseeing on our way to and from NM.  We visited the Four Corners, Mesa Verde and Moab.

In the summer we had a lot of fun.

We went to Sundance with Bart and Wendy.

We attended the Manti Pageant.

Went to Box Canyon with the Murrays.

Matt went off roading with "Jen", his black Toyota Tacoma

 and Katie.

 We went boating with friends from our ward.

We were able to climb Mt. Nebo, the southernmost and tallest mountain in the Wasatch Range (11,928 feet) and were among the fastest in our group to summit. 

In August Matt attended the Sabey Family Pioneer Trek.

Back in Provo we started school again for fall semester.

Matt hit 100k miles on his truck.

We carved Jack o lanterns together.

Matt planned a reunion with his Houston friends.

During fall semester I made it onto the Ballroom Tour Team (the highest of 5 teams).  We traveled with the Ballroom dance team to Wyoming for a mid-semester tour.  Matt helped with the tech crew.  Here I am with my Great Aunt Audrey who was able to come see the show.

These are our official photos for team.

 In November I participated in the Dancesport Competition that BYU hosts.

In December we went caroling with couples in our ward and enjoyed a game night.  Some of the couples include the Brent and Kirsten Dugan, Lance & Wendy Smith, Sommer and Ben Reynolds, Dathan & Regina his wife, and Eric & Lyndsey Jepson.

For Christmas we went to my parents' home.

We went skiing.

We spent New Year's Eve with the Smiths.

What a fabulous year!  Our first year of marriage was awesome!
