2016...an even better year!!

Happy New Year!! Man I honestly can't believe how fast this year has gone. It feels like just yesterday I was writing in my blog about last year, and reflecting on those memories.

I am so excited for 2017 to begin and so excited to create new memories this new year. I know for me it has been crazy and yet so much fun. 

If you read my blog from 2015 you already know that I love this time of year because of the opportunity to reflect and become better. I am excited to share my memories from this past year with you. 

Hop along the memory train of Dawn Williams from 2016.

Last Semester at BYUI I was greeted with some lovely snow.

My Valentine's Day Gift from the one and only, my boyfriend. I think he knows what I like.

My best friend Bri came to Arizona!!

We took a trip to San Diego as our graduation celebration. 

Of course we had to go to the San Diego Zoo!

Found my street name in Surprise, Arizona

Molly also found her name. Not far from me. 

July 2016

Field Trip to Amazing Jake's with my kids from work. 

August 2016

Went to Bjs for my birthday with some amazing friends. 

I love these girls! One is getting married soon. 

September 2016

Distance never stops us from having dates. 

October 2016

Madi and I went to a Gladys Knight Concert. It was a night filled with soul! 

I came home for Fall break and was able to spend time with my best friend Molly. We went to a pumpkin patch, carved a pumpkin, and made apple crisp.  I don't know about you, but we are pretty cute. P.S. most of the time when we hang out we end up making food. 

We love having the sister missionaries come over. They brought the spirit with them and allowed us to serve them. 

Arizona State Fair craziness. 

Halloween Party. Robbers for life! 

Deviled Eggs. Get it?!

November 2016

First day on the Elementary side for my student teaching. 

Still kept things interesting with our crazy dates.

Mr. Oliver is a pretty amazing principal. I wasn't at his school, but he did have some amazing stories and can talk for quite a while. Definitely wished I went to Zaharis just to hear his stories. 

December 2016

Hacked  by Emily. This girls are pretty awesome. It is crazy to see them all pretty much grown up. 

 Dyed my hair to a darker color! Thanks Lauren!

At my mom's work party/picnic. The train we were on was two tiny for adults, but we made it work. 

Me and Madi like to be weird. The ornament was huge, so of course it would be the perfect photo opportunity. 

Last day of student teaching. Now I am officially a teacher at Copper Trails Elementary teaching 2nd grade. 

It is amazing to see how much I have changed in just the past year. I am excited to see what the new year will bring. Hopefully it will be even better than this year. Thank you for being apart of my memories and making it a pretty awesome year. I am ready to continue forward and just......

Love Life <3
