2012 was a great year for Robbie and me...for obvious reasons. We got married!!!
It went by so fast and we cant believe we have already been married for nearly 7 months. (It sounds silly I know, but to us it seems like just yesterday we got engaged.)
January
We were technically engaged on December 31, 2011...but I will count that as January! We were thrilled, and set our date for June 16. I got a lot of wedding planning done this month before school started up again.
February/March/April
I won't bore you with wedding planning details. Thankfully I was only taking one class this semester, because I don't think I would have been able to plan a wedding at the same time. I also managed to watch all 10 seasons of Friends in about 2 months. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that, but if you're a fan of the show then you will understand why I couldn't stop!!! Robbie joined a slow pitch softball league his sister Genn started up, his younger brother Tyler also joined! If you know the Park family, then you know they are super athletic, so needless to say the 3 siblings together dominated the team. Robbie's other sister Adria even joined in on the fun for the last game! I had fun watching the season! We also made a trip to Little Rock, Arkansas for a wedding! Robbie's friend from college asked him to be a groomsmen.
May
Robbie's younger brother Tyler was called to serve a mission for our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He is currently serving in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and will be there until May 2014! We are so proud of Tyler, and we love getting emails from him each week!

June
The month I never thought would get here, finally came! We were sealed for all eternity in the Dallas Texas LDS temple. We had a ring ceremony that afternoon, followed by our reception in Keller. It was by far the happiest day of our lives and we were so happy to share it with all our family and friends! The following Monday we left for our honeymoon to Puerto Rico! Robbie planned the whole trip, and we had such a great time.
July
As soon as we got home from Puerto Rico, we drove to Conway, Arkansas for a wedding! The following weekend, we drove north again to Fayetteville, Arkansas for another wedding! July was a crazy month, but we had lots of fun celebrating with our friends! (I also learned that not only does Robbie love to dance, but he is pretty dang good at it too! This made for a lot of laughs at the weddings)

August
This month, we spent a lot of time going to swim at my in laws house in Keller! We spent a few days watching 4 kids while their parents were out of town. It was tough work, but we had a lot of fun getting to play "Mom and Dad" for a few days!
I did my best to perfect my housewife skills. I had fun trying out lots of new recipes, and I think Robbie was genuinely sad when my school started up again. (No time for cooking fancy dinners!) I began my Senior 1 semester of nursing school, which included classes like Pediatrics, OB, and Critical Care.
This month we also got settled into our new ward! We love everyone we have met and the friendships we have formed. Robbie was called as second counselor in the Bishopric, and I was called as the Mia Maid advisor in Young Womens!
September
This month we had fun watching our nephew Colton! He came to stay with us for two weekends. Sharing a queen size bed with a wiggly 5 year old, and Robbie who is 6'4 was quite the adventure! We watched a lot of Power Rangers and Colton thought having pizza with chocolate milk for dinner was pretty much the best night ever!
We also bought season passes to Six Flags Over Texas! They are good through the end of 2013. I am not the biggest fan of roller coasters, but our whole family and lots of friends have them...so I caved and agreed to it! We have gone 3 or 4 times since september, so I would say they have already paid for themselves!
October
We celebrated my 23rd birthday this month! We also made the trip to Shreveport, Louisiana to watch the Texas A&M-Louisiana Tech game. My parents met us there and we had a great time watching the amazing game. The Aggies finished with the WIN...of course! :) We had a fun time at the State Fair of Texas later that month. Fried oreos....yum!
November
This month we celebrated Robbie's 28th birthday! We made a trip to Conway, Arkansas for the Sherwood's baby blessing. I experienced my first UCA football game, and the Bears won! (Robbie played quarterback for UCA, so it was fun getting to see the place where he used to play)
We spent our Thanksgiving in New Braunfels, TX where my grandparents live. The whole Taylor side of the family was there! We watched a lot of football and ate tons of great food.
December
I finished up my Senior 1 semester, and enjoyed the nice long winter break from school. We made a trip to Houston before the Christmas holiday, and spent Christmas here in Dallas. It snowed on Christmas, so that was a first for the both of us! I had fun sending out our first Christmas card.
This blog post was a lot longer than I had originally planned, but its hard to sum up the whole year in just a few sentences! We had a blast in 2012, and cant wait to see what 2013 has in store for us! :)
