sayonara 2011..

     I would love to say that every moment of this year has been great, but I'd be lying. Needless to say, this year was a struggle. I feel stronger having made it through 2011. It's been hard, but it's been worth it. I've had many learning experiences, none of which I would give back, strengthening of friendships that I wouldn't trade for anything, and moments of laughter that made every minute easier. The choices I've made this year, more than any other year, have made me realize who I want to be.

This year I...

• became friends with Sarah Matheson
• went on Choir Tour to Anaheim, California
• became good friends with Tessea Nelson, Ashley Nicholes, Ryan Hall, Riley Cox, and Hannah Ashby
• turned 16 and got my drivers license on my birthday
• began working at Boondocks in Draper
• finished my Sophomore year at American Fork High School
• went to my first Cavestock
• went to my second-to-last Girls Camp
• went on my ONLY Pioneer Trek
• went to the final Harry Potter movie at Midnight, and said goodbye to my childhood
• started my Junior year
• became friends with Ally Pinkston, Makenna Bryant, and Hayley Nelson
• got my very own car
• went on my first date
• went to Homecoming with Logan Cameron
• got my first B+
• went to Preference
• went to Breaking Dawn: Part 1 at 3 o'clock AM
• got completely hooked and caught up on the Vampire Diaries series with my sister
• became a legal driver of Utah
• celebrated Thanksgiving with family and friends
• had a lazy and completely relaxing Christmas Break

Thank you friends, new and old, who have set examples for me everyday this year. I'm grateful for second chances, and third and fourth chances. I'm thankful for Harry Potter. Thank you Sarah and Stephanie, for everything you do for me and for making me laugh always.

this year has been a tea party for sure..

farewell 2011

Sometimes sitting on the couch while writing a Macbeth essay and listening to Christmas music next to the tree with your sister is the perfect way to spend your night..

That's what I did.

One more day everyone, and we've made it. congratulations..

Christmas Break is going to be monumental this year, I can feel it.

I'm going to have a Harry Potter marathon next week and I'm extremely excited about it.

Oh, and I'm currently hooked on Gossip Girl..

Happy Holidays.
