2013: This Crazy Roller coaster we call Life

2013 was a roller coaster, with some of the best good that has ever happened to Nick and I and also the greatest adversity We have ever faced!



 January started the year with a car accident that should have been fatal, Kimberly Zavala Knowles and I were lucky to be alive. It also featured the Sundance Film Festival where Nick played at The Hotel Park City.




February brought my first full time job at Belliston Jewelry which changed my life and taught me so much, even though I had to leave school that semester.



 March brought my engagement to my best friend and soul mate Nickolas Whitesides.



 April had me say farewell for now to my amazing grandfather Arch Reidhead.


On the bright side of April Nick was able to have his band open for the Rocket Summer


 May brought owning our first apartment, Nicks 27th birthday, my associate’s degree, and my being able to go through the temple for the first time. 


 June 1, 2013 Nick and I were married for time and all eternity in the Bountiful Temple, which started the first day of our new lives with a new fantastic family, I received 15 nieces and nephews and they have brought so much joy and love. And we went on an amazing California road trip honeymoon. When we came back Nick was able to open for the band Cartel!





 July brought the beginning of my new fight with IBS and Anxiety, along with what we now know are some other infections. On the bright side Nick was able to have an awesome audition for American Idol! He's too good for that show!




 August allowed my sister to go be a missionary in Portugal for the LDS church!! We miss her but will see her soon. 




September started the worst semester of school I have had in my life!! But I learned so much about what I didn't want, and I made it through alive.
And we got to shoot a paint balls at zombies 


 October brought my 21st birthday, and the departure of my incredible Aunt Valerie Porter she will be greatly  missed, but her family is wonderful and I am so grateful to have them in my life. 




November was filled with tests, the beginning of this blog and delicious Thanksgiving with my two wonderful families.


 December brought a wonderful first Christmas with all my amazing family as well as a new niece named Ruby :D



Through it all I was so blessed to go through all of it with my wonderful husband Nick. Some big changes are coming and they will be difficult, but through it all everything will happen the way it is supposed to be.  There is no one I'd rather be than us.  Happy New Years Everyone.

With Love Reb and Nick
