It's A New Year


My sister Rachel posted a New Year's post that I thought was pretty cool. Just a basic run down of the year 2010 for herself and her family, so forgive my lack of originality, but here is a look at The Larsen's Year in Review.




  • Highlight of the year was our 4 week trip back east to visit my sister Carrie in Michigan and my sister Rachel in Boston
  • Tyler continues his schooling in our efforts to get to PA school
  • Switched from Surgical Tech to EMT to get certification with more direct patient care (it looks better for PA, so we're told)
  • Mom, dad and I ran The Spirit of Twin Falls 1/2 Marathon this summer
  • Ashtynn is almost in nursery and has really started to communicate quite well
  • Reagan was baptized by Tyler, what a blessing in our family
  • Reagan also joined the Boy Scouts of America
  • Elise went to a full day of school when she entered the 1st grade
  • She has also lost 2 teeth
  • Mollie came into primary as a brand new 3 year old and did awesome, cutest sunbeam in the primary
  • Reagan placed 2nd in the Idaho Invention Convention
  • I was called into the Primary Presidency
  • I have continued running despite a lengthy break to heal stress fractures in my legs.
  • Hoping to do some racing this spring and summer if said injuries will stay at bay
  • Have reached a weight I haven't seen since I was in high school
  • Bought my first ever pair of Size 6 jeans
  • Did quite a bit of catering and loved it
  • I continue to work for IDLA
  • Wrote 2 classes this year, can't decide if I like teaching or course design better
  • Got to attend a BYU football game with Tyler and the kids, something I haven't done since I was a BYU co-ed
  • Tyler competed in the Twin Falls triathlon
  • He also earned an A in chemistry; something he claims he didn't think would ever happen
  • Went to lots and lots of basketball, football, soccer, t-ball and baseball games with the kids
  • Feel very grateful for all that we have been blessed with this year!
