2013 Recap

I am honestly so shocked that 2013 is already to an end, and I am really quite sad about it. I have LOVED 2013. Honestly one of my all time favorite years.
2013 recap:
Moved across the country to where I didn't know a single person
Worked in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom
Made life long friendships with people from all around the word
Pixie Dusted Suri Cruise while chatting with Katie Holmes
Survived my ghetto apartment
Survived the murderer in Vista Way
Survived my alcoholic roommates in Vista Way. [Good thing I love them! :)]
Basically I survived Vista Way
Working until 3 AM or 14 hour long shifts
Met my Australian soulmate
Breathed the same air as One Direction
3/5 of One Direction learned of my existence (Niall, Harry, and Liam)
Started another year at UVU
Kelbs came home from his mission

Basically the reason 2013 was so fantastic was because of my Disney adventure and my One Direction experience. I'm not sure how the heck 2014 can top this year but i'm excited to see!

Family Christmas Letter 2013

It's that time again. The year has come to an end and the annual Christmas letter from the Packers is here. Courtnie wrote the letter this year and she did such a great job! Soo..without further wait here it is....

Christmas time has come once more,
For this reason we leave this at your door.
We want to give you some holiday cheer,
For those of you far and near.

This year we’ve been through a lot,
Lucky for you, we like to talk.
In this Christmas letter,
Read on to know us better.

Darci is a freshman at Utah State
She is having lots of fun and likes to date.
Darci is a voice for the USU student population,
She shares their concerns and reports it to the President without hesitation.
She is a waitress at a Brazilian Grill,
Go and see her and she will pay your bill.

Madison is obsessed with the band One Direction,
She follows and stalks them with grand affection.
Her new best friend is Mickey the Mouse,
Early this year, she lived near his house.
She visited Disney World where she interned for a while,
Ask her how it was, her stories are sure to make you smile.
Madison studies English at UVU,
Someday she plans to write a book or two.

Cami and Austin have Kennadi who is one,
She is cute as a button, but makes it hard to get much done.
This was a big year for Cami as she got her degree,
She couldn’t get away and now works at the university.
Austin has one more semester of school left to do
And if he isn’t at school, you will find him at the golf course, hitting a ball or two.
Cami and Austin bought a house in Spanish Fork,
Along with a few cars that have lots of torque.

Courtnie and Dillon had a cute baby boy,
His name is Easton and he is really a joy.
Courtnie now works at home as a mom
Where she writes great stories at FamilyShare.com.
If you are wondering what products to buy,
Courtnie also writes about products that are top of the line.
Dillon is almost done with school, he took the Law school application test
And hopefully he did his best. 

Eric and Sandy have been traveling fools,
From Florida, D.C., and the Yellowstone geyser pools.
Sandy is busy visiting her two sweet grand kids,
While Eric’s time as bishop, he patiently bids.
Eric spends his time hunting, fishing and running,
While Sandy is busy decorating Christmas trees and shopping.

We have had a happy year, this is true,
We hope our joyful spirit rubs off on you.
Please share with those you call dear,
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.


Love, The Packers
