Highlights of 2011

This year has been awesome! But I am not going to lie, I am glad it's over. Thinking back on it, I did a lot and had so much fun. It was good for me to have the time that I did to do what I wanted, when I wanted, and with that being said I grew a lot. I have a pretty good idea of what I want in life. I really did need this last year, to help me figure it all out. I mean I have been in a steady relationship since I was fifteen, so it was good for me to have some time to be single, move away from home and just to figure myself out!
I am going to give the highlights of my year with mostly pictures. Which I think are the best:)

Concerts!!!
I went to Taylor swift, Sugar Ray, Atmosphere, and Joshua Radin. They were all so great! I am obsessed with all of them.



Vacation!!
I went on quite a few trips this last year. I went to california with the people I nanny for (talk about the best job ever!), went to California again with the fam, Lake Mead/Vegas, Lake Powell, Bear Lake quite a few times, and last but not least, Mexico!
Utah State!!! Going up to Utah State happened on a total whim. One day I was talking with my friend Rachelle about it, and the next I had applied. It was one of the best decisions I have made. I have loved every second of living up in Logan. I have the best roomie (shout out to lil bit), I met so many new people, worked at a job I never thought I'd work...aka a call center that surveys people all day, I sound like the biggest brat ever saying that but it's true. The actual school part is way hard, but the memories I have made up there are worth it, even if it means retaking a class.. or two.
Our first home cooked meal, in my first house!



Other random things this year
I am so blessed to have the life that I do. I really do love everything about my life. In my eyes it's about having fun and living life to it's fullest. I have had people tell me that I need to be more serious and that life isn't just a party. But having fun is what works for me. When I am too serious about things, it ends up back firing (as learned from last semester), and isn't worth it. It's just not me. I can't help it. (my bad). No, but seriously.

I adore my Grandpa. Every time I see him he always gets so excited and asks me about "my sweetheart". He loves all of the updates. He's so sweet.
I grew so much closer to all my friends.
My best friend Brian. I love him so much. He has been such a great friend to me, we have become really close this last year.
I got my CNA license! It was really time consuming. But I became one step closer to Nursing.
The Spartan race was one of my biggest accomplishments this year. I signed up for it three days before the actual race, it was 8 miles of death. Straight up hill death, and I am NOT a runner. Just google it if you don't believe me.

attitude.


This pictures pretty much sums how I am feeling right now. Finals are the worst, especially when the fact that if you don’t get an A on your final you have to retake the class. BLAH! Well I decided that instead of feeling sorry for myself and complaining non stop, that I am going to just give it my all these next two weeks and not complain. People that complain non stop drive me crazy, and I feel like lately I have turned into that person. So this weeks goal is to stay positive and look at the bright side of things, instead of focusing on all the negative things. We will see how it goes. Happy week!
