I made it this far!

I cannot believe that I actually survived this year. Heck! I didn't survive, I THRIVED through this year! Through all the changes and everything that happened to my little world. So here is an awkward review of my year. For my sake, not yours.

JANUARY
I officially became friends with Aaron Nelson. Today we remain to be best friends, even though we live miles away. The adventures continue and the memories remain. 

FEBRUARY

Aaron and I ice skated on a lake.

I had the best Valentine's Day EVER. Mostly because I got to exchange valentines with second graders..

MARCH


March included a Youth Conference with the wardies and touring Utah State with my future roommate!

APRIL

4 temples in Utah and General Conference with my best friend.

And of course, choir tour.

And my birthday. I spent half of it on a bus on the way home from San Fran and was FRIED to the crisp.

And obviously I threw a birthday party for Shakespeare. 

And Prom with my bestie. 

MAY
Graduation. Best. Day. Ever.

JUNE

Hoob's wedding.

I don't have any worthwhile pictures from July...but I'm sure it happened.

AUGUST

10 inches cut off

Moved to Logan

Said goodbye to these birds.

SEPTEMBER

OCTOBER

NOVEMBER

DECEMBER

Small children are my favorite.

And of course, catching up with the best.

This was the only picture I snagged of New Years Eve. So....gotcha.
Happy New Year!!

My Bad...

Hello everyone!
My apologies for my lack of posts in the last forever. Life and school are busy...or weren't busy enough so I had nothing to write about!
So here is a catch up of the last little bit of my life.
Also I didn't proof read this..#lazygirlforlife...just don't judge.

This, my friends, is what happens when you turn off the lights during the Relief Society lesson...during 1:00 church..on fast Sunday. 

I mentioned going to "The Howl" in my last post, but that was a few days before Halloween. On Halloween, I had choir practice and we decided to have a party afterward. We were required to dress up, but I didn't really want to get into my corset again. So instead I stole Chelsey's costume and went as a raven. Below are my favorite costumes.

Can you tell who he is?? He totally dressed up as Roz from Monster's Inc.! Best. Costume. Ever.
Poor phone quality picture..but he's definitely dressed up as the boy from E.T. and has E.T. in that basket. 
This is Kjarinda and Dayton, the Vice President and President of choir! Kjarinda's costume is okay...but Dayton is definitely dressed as Dumbledora the Explorer. So gotcha.
Nick was dressed as Flynn Rider. Not the best costume...but let's be real. He's pretty attractive.
Aaaand this one is maybe my favorite. This is Jonathan...dressed as a Volcano. WHATUP! I'm definitely doing this for my children one day. 
This is a cat. Somebody dressed up as Mufasa and brought this cat as Simba. I was excited to say the least.

Then Halloween ended and life when on.
Chelsey is an art major and drew this bomb picture of me!
We're really domestic in Bullen 214. Here we have two boxes of PastaRoni, a box of Mac n' Cheese, and some bowtie pasta. We're really branching out.
Hannah's mom was so kind to send us some Christmas decorations! Since we got out of school so early, we set up for Christmas pretty soon after Halloween and it was the best EVER.
Aggie Basketball games have been an absolute FAVORITE this fall semester. I love my b-ball boys!

Thanksgiving break was crazy! I came home a day early and got to see some friends.

And then headed out to North Carolina on Thanksgiving Day to spend some time with the Grimm fam for Thanksgiving and Savvy's baptism. It was absolutely beautiful! I wish my stay had been longer because I loved being with the fam in such a fun location.



And then it was finally December!! When I came home from Thanksgiving break, I only had one more week of classes and then it was finals. The first week included holiday outfits and my Christmas Concert with Latter-Day Voices. Plus we got our LDV shirts!



I really have the best roommates ever. They came to my concert even though it was a freezing, snowy, Saturday night. Plus we have so much fun together. We're actually pretty awesome.

And then it was finals week. Which pretty much meant that we all sat around our apartment eating junk food.


I did well on all my finals and am now in the safety of my own home! I don't remember getting this old...it's all so strange. But it's life and it's mine. So in the words of Miranda Sings:

Because we all need a little more Cher in our lives. 

So there you have it! Oh. And here's a picture of my neighbor dressed like Santa. Merry Christmas!
