the last months in review..

wow... I really need to either pull it together or stop blogging. I am terrible at keeping up with my own life and posting regularly... 

a ton of things have happened since I last posted on this here blog. it is actually a little crazy how much has actually changed in my life since October. I don't know what the best way to catch up is exactly, so I think I'll just spout things out as I remember them... in the best chronological order that I can muster.

October.

I went on my first date with Conner. He is amazing, and so good to me, and I could go on and on. 

My boys are leaving on missions at 18 and my girls are leaving on missions at 19.

I got promoted at work so that was pretty exciting.

I got accepted to Utah State! I'm planning on attending in the fall with one of my very best friends, Madeline. We're going to be roommates.

I got my first kiss. 

I went to Sadies with Jordan and we had a blast. That is one story to be told, let me tell you.  

I took my second and final ACT test. I improved by one point from my previous score. Kudos to me.

November. 

I counted down the days until Thanksgiving Break. It didn't come fast enough, and ended way too soon. Pretty normal.

I tried and failed to come up with a major for college. I guess I still have time...

As everyone around me was stressed and stressed about their BYU applications, I sat back and enjoyed the show. Utah State just keeps looking better and better. 

December.

I went to my first ever Jazz game with Conner and his family. It was so much fun. 

I went on the day date for Preference with Conner. We didn't go to the dance, which we were totes fine with.

I counted down the days until Christmas Break, just like the rest of the student body, and it came and went in the blink of an eye. 

I spent as much time with friends and Conner that I could during the break and I did a lot of fun things. 

Conner was in Las Vegas for New Year's so I spent the evening at a party at Ally's house with a bunch of friends. It was a lot of fun. 

This year came and went. Now that it's over, I look back and think how fast it actually did go by. I am graduating this year... THIS YEAR. 2013. In May. It's a little crazy... actually not just a little, but A LOT crazy to think that my "childhood" is quickly coming to an end and I'm going to be living on my own this fall. We're growing up and everyone is changing and it's wonderful and scary. I'm so excited and nervous and anxious and every other emotion all wrapped up into one. Pretty soon (like, this summer) I will be going to mission farewells and saying goodbye to my closest friends for two years and shortly after that I will be living on my own at college. Away from my parents and grandparents and cousins. On my own. It's truly insane. 

Anyway, that's my last few months in review. I'm going to become a better blogger, I promise. But until then...

..life's a tea party
