February

• A "Dinner Date with an Old Friend", it was awkward, but it was good.
• Homework overload, I thought I'd die.
• I stayed out way past the time I normally do on a school night (2 am.), watching The Bachelor and eating Domino's Pizza.  My mother was not very happy with me.
• Running.  Life caught up to me, and hit me hard.  So I ran away from my problems, and it was the best thing I could have possibly done.

March

• Fabio entered my life, he's a great soul.
• Trouble, my best friend, left to Hawaii on her mission.  Two friends came home from missions.
• Bread and Butter nights were created, they happened every Thursday.
• I played mom for a week, and got to hang out with my favorite guy ever.

April

• City Creek opened, we braved the crowds on opening night, and got to hear Eclipse perform.
• Crazy squirrels were rumored to be wandering the UVU Campus
• Procrastination brought about music finds.
• A trip to The Gateway, a planetarium show, my first tasting of Sushi, and the start of a great friendship.

May

• Lesson on not judging others.  Those you judge could become some of your greatest friends.
• Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
• Another "moving home was good for me" post, and a tour of Sanpete.
• I experienced an emotional roller coaster, that I am still riding.

June

• Declaring laughter as the best medicine.
• Random, hilarious letter received in the mail. (and the beginning's of the knee problem)
• A run in with a little boy at the ice cream shop had me wondering if I was in the right major.
• A phone call with my aunt, that ended with her telling me my uncle was impressed with me and that I was a sharp girl, closest thing to an I love you that I could remember.

July

• Planned a surprise birthday party for Savannah, Minute-To-Win-It style.
• Trip to St. George with friends, most details went untold.
• Received a nasty burn as I spent way too much time at Bear Lake.  It was worth it. 
• Spent the night at Alicia's, making desserts, drinking from fancy straws, and awaking the next morning to find Alicia stuck on the top bunk.

August

• I randomly decided that I was a hiker...and took a hike, that included some slipping and sliding.
• Bracey came into my life, if only I knew then what I know now.
• I decided I enjoy wearing guys clothes a bit too much, and I cut my hair.
• I went to the hot air balloon festival, and enjoyed Sonic slushies aftewards.

September

• I attended the Brigham City Temple open house, twice.  It was beautiful.
• Birthday celebrations, for a week.
• Realizing why my best friend is my best friend, and drive up the canyon.
• A life changing phone call was received.

October

• Sidewalk singing for General Conference, something I wish I could do every year.
• Physical Therapy kicked my trash, and tried to teach me patience, but then I took a step backwards. But it also got me compliments on my shoes.
• I went to the crazy cornmaze, and found that I would rather not rush through the maze, but take my time, even if I get lost a billion times.  I also went to a Utah football game!
• 3 years, came and went far too fast.

November

• The loss of my cousin took a toll on me, but I found comfort in family, friends, and the closure of a fireman's final salute.
• Stood in line on Thanksgiving night at Walmart for an iPad for a friend.
