Do you celebrate...?

Happy New Year! We got to go to a party with adult friends from 6-9pm (on the EVE) that was super YUMMY and FUN! Then we came home and played RISK with the Poduska's (Steve's sisters family.) Nate was asleep by this point!

New Years EVE-
This is Tanner (cousin) fell asleep like this!
We played Risk until 12:30 and decided the game was over because of time.
It goes on forever! But it was fun!
So On to NEW YEARS DAY...
Steve found out he will be based out of Minneapolis (Minnesota.)
So, he will become a commuter. It stinks because we won't see him much.
And we will have to pay for an apt. there, the details get hairy, but good things can come from
crazy challenges!

We got to go to my mom's house and eat MORE good food and
play games with family.
New Years Day at the Nunley's-

This is my Dad and Carter (My niece's little boy.) My Dad & Mom opened the time capsule that we all put letters into for the year 2000. So they opened the box (Carter is holding the lock.)
This was my letter. I've accomplished most of it in the last 10 years. So YEA!
It said things like...Changes I've seen in my lifetime, My biggest achievements and things I'd like to do are:
Obtain a better relationship with God.
Become better friends with my sisters.
Have 3-4 more kids.
Live in a house with a garage, dishwasher, washer & dryer (because at the
time we were living in an apt. in Logan,Ut.)
Be good friends with my kiddos.
Still be best friends with my husband.
Travel out of the country at least once (Fun that we got to go to Cancun, Germany,
and Austria.)
Go to 5 other temples that I've never been to.
Still have no broken bones and NO major surgery.
Still weigh within 110-120 lbs.
Go to Jenny Lake.
Go to Yosemite.
My letter from the year 2000
This was such a neat experience to have everyone read their letter. My grandma, is no longer alive and there was a letter from her, that was very touching! My parents are so awesome to provide an experience like this!

This is such an awesome thing to do! I love it!

Sorry Steve has to be based out of somewhere so far! Jason knows that place well. He goes there often for work.

I love the time capsule activity. That would be fun to do now for the next 10 years! I don't remember much about New Years Eve 1999 except for a picture I have of being playing a game in the Williams basement with a bunch of marshmallows in my mouth.

Your picture header is making me hungry!

Amazing! I love the time capsule idea. I can't believe how much you have accomplished. What a wonderful family you guys are. I'm sorry about Steve's news. Bummer. If anyone can handle challenging trials, it's you and Steve.

P.S. My sister is on a mission there.

Fun idea! It's crazy for me to think back 10 years. So many things can happen, can't they?

Sorry about Steve's commute. Already you seem so positive about it. We feel for ya!
