I love you, 2011.


WOW! What a year!

I'm sitting in bed, trying to remember everything that has happened this year... and I'm struggling.  I feel like this year has gone SO flipping fast!




JANUARY: Brought in the New Year with my bestest, Megan. Started the Integrated Core.  Met my best friend, Laci. Applied for the Student Manager position in the Cougareat. Went on a date.




FEBRUARY: Got the Student Manager position in the Cougareat, but continued to make sandwiches @ Subway during FebruANY. Got through mid-terms with a little help from my friends. Celebrated Valentine's day with the aforementioned date.






MARCH: More Core and group projects GALORE. A broken heart... for real this time. Festival of Colors with Megs.






APRIL: General Conference. Turned 21! I was surprised by my Core team with a Toy Story cake for my birthday. Celebrated at Malawi's with Megs and Katherine. Wore too-short shorts to the testing center. Finished finals (not too shabby if I do say so myself). Melanie got married! Moved across the way into my new apartment.




MAY: Tulip Festival with Shayla and Lindsey.Working hard or hardly working? Pool.Work.Pool.Pool. Went on a date, got some flowers. Quick trip to Boise for Elliott's birthday.  During said trip I stopped at the weirdest gas station and observed some llamas.  Ell and I build a beautiful princess castle and played with beautiful Disney princess dolls. 




JUNE: Again I ask, working hard or hardly working? Pool.Pool.Work.Pool. Watched brother's soccer tournaments. Working on my tan. Scooter rides. Volunteering with the Provo School District. Lots of summer afternoon walks with Megs.
 

JULY: Another broken heart. Forth of July with the fam. Had some great adventures with Megs and Katherine (Bridal Veil FAAAAlls anyone?). Climbed in a tree and ate froyo. Worked HARD getting my stores ready for the new semester. Biffed it on the treadmill and got awful burns on my legs. CALIFORNIA with Lindsey.


AUGUST: Applied for TFA. School started again: Senior Year, Baby! Women's Conference and all the work that goes with it.  Lagoon with the fam. Got lost.


SEPTEMBER: Had phone interview with TFA. Got a promotion (of sorts). Blue Line Deli here I come! Rascal Flatts Concert with Taylor.


OCTOBER: Uplifted and inspired by General Conference. A second temple in Provo! Got super excited for Halloween. Had real-life interview with TFA. Forgave. Second Chances. Really with the broken hearts??? Carved pumpkins with the roomies.
NOVEMBER: Busier than I've ever been. Got ACCEPTED into TFA. Work is stressful but so rewarding.  Thanksgiving with the fam. Met my handsome man.

DECEMBER: Spent every evening with said man. First ever car accident. Cooked my first ever Sweet and Sour Chicken. Christmas with my family. Baked delicious (and some not-so-delicious desserts). Took advantage of the one and only snowfall to go sledding with the children.

  1. I love this! (are you okay from your car accident?) And sweet & sour chicken is my absolute favorite. I make someone make it for me every year on my birthday.

    If you have 30 seconds I'd love for you to link up this post on my Year in Review linky party. I would love it so much.
