2012 in Review

So this year has been a very exciting year for me. So lets cover it by month.
January:

I started my year off right by slicing my finger with a rotary blade causing me to spend New Years Day in instacare. Don't worry all I got was a pretty big bandage and a tetanus shot.
I went on my one and only date of the year in January, which of course went well as I'm still single ;)
I began my final semester of school.
February:
I bought my plane ticket to go to London, and made all my final arraingments for London.
March and April:
Nothing much happened except work and school. I decided that I was going to move to Salt Lake in August with my friend Allison
May:
I turned 24 and graduated from SUU with a Bachelor of Arts in English: Creative Writing emphasis.

Because my birthday and graduation were so close we had a party and several of my friends came up to Kanarraville and we had a BBQ.
May was a very exciting month because I went to London!!! London was the best trip I've ever taken, and the most memorable for sure. Hopefully there will be many more trips to England.

Right after London my friend Kymn got married.
Memorial Day weekend I moved in with my friend Erika.
June:
I started working at Tuacahn and the Chocolate Factory again. Discovered that the Chocolate Factory was merging with Utah Truffles and would be moving to Salt Lake City. I of course went and saw the plays at Tuacahn. Loved Hairspray, Aladdin was okay. I absolutely loved The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
July:
I spent the 4th of July in K-town with my family

I continued working. At the end of July my family went to Idaho and Wyoming for a weeklong trip.

I had to leave early from Idaho for my friend Erika's wedding. I was her Maid of Honor, plus we've been friends forever, so I had to make sure to be there.

August:
I moved up to Salt Lake City.

Allison and I went to the Brigham City Temple open house.

September:
My friend Camilla came down from Alaska for a wedding, and stayed the weekend with me.

October:
Allison and I drove up through one of the many canyons up here and enjoyed the Autumn leaves.

Then of course there was Halloween.

November:
There was Thanksgiving with the family in K-town.
I saw Breaking Dawn Part 2, and yes I did enjoy it. Now I get to look forward to The Host.
December:
Went and saw The Hobbit and loved it!
Walked around Temple Square and enjoyed the beautiful lights.

Allsion and I went to the zoolights at the Hogle Zoo.

Made Gingerbread houses

Then spent Christmas with lots and lots of family.

Sorry Libby, stole your picture :D

All in all a very busy, very exciting year for me. Hopefully this next year will be just as eventful and exciting!

Starting the New Year off Right

 This year has started off great if not hilariously. Yesterday I was cutting up some old t-shirts to make a quilt. I was using Libby's rotary blade and cutting board and in a moment of recklessness my finger got sliced. It took the fingernail too. I didn't think that it was a big deal so I bandaged it and went back to cutting, and making sure to be careful and keep my hands out of the path of the blade. Mom, of course, was freaking out about it and asked to see it. When she saw it she said it was time to go to InstaCare. When at InstaCare they told me that I had only capped my finger, I had completely removed the epidermis and had nicked the dermis.

 So I didn't get any stitches because there was nothing to stitch. What I got was a Tetanus shot and a couple of numbing shots in my finger and this beautiful, big, purple bandage.

It's really a stupid story, but quite hilarious if you ask me. But most of all it was a great way to start the New Year.

Now lets go over my New Years Resolutions:

• Graduate from SUU, which is happening in May if anyone wants to come, I'm sure ya'll be there to see Libby get hers, but don't forget that I'm also graduating.
• Travel outside of the U.S. I'm planning on doing a London Study abroad in May in England and Scotland.
• Start my Career. In June I'll be moving in with my friend and I'm hoping that I will be able to get a job at the new Dixie College library. If not I will have Tuacahn to turn to for a while.
• Watch less TV and movies and read A LOT more. I love to read but netflix cab definitely waste lots of time.

 That's all for now. I hope everyone has a great year full of fun and plenty of achievements.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

So this Christmas we spent Christmas in Kanarraville at Cash's house. All six of us were there and it was just a great holiday!! It was nice for all of us to be together and enjoy the holiday. We had cousins and aunts and uncles and friends join us throughout the holidays. On Christmas Day we got a lot of snow so some of us decided to make a giant snowman! Cash and Adam did most of the work, but I came out and helped with the top half of the snowman.


We also did a lot of sledding and my butt was very cold and sore after sledding.

Last Christmas as some of you may remember I got a lifesize cardboard cutout of Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Well this Christmas I got a lifesize cardboard cutout of Edward Cullen from Twilight. I don't know why people get me these things but I must say I really do enjoy them. As you can see I wasn't the only one who enjoyed Edward around. Along with Edward I got the movies I wanted, plus a few gift cards, and some pajamas and a couple of robes.
The Saturday after Christmas I had a blind date. His name is Byron Reeves (and no he is not related to any of the Reeves in Utah). It was such a fun date. We talked the whole time, and we actually have a lot in common. We doubled with my boss who set us up and his wife (Ben and Staci). We met them at Outback Steakhouse then went to their house after dinner and had a foosball competition. Let's just say that Byron got to see the real me. Nothing has happened since the date, but Ben seems pretty confident that Byron is going to call me soon. Byron has been in Salt Lake for a couple of weeks.
New Years Day I went on another date. This time with a Marine! He is the Doty's cousin and I've actually been out with him before but it has been about two years. We went shooting and 4-wheeling and it was a blast. Gabe (the Marine) is very attractive but very shy. I was the one trying to keep him talking. He did show me how to shoot some pistols or hand guns. I did get really good at shooting the clay pigeons with the shot guns. I also ended up with a bruise on my shoulder the next day.
So this holiday season I had a lot of fun and experienced lots of new things. Such as going on two dates with two different guys within less than a week. That is totally not like me as most of you know.It has been a lot of fun and I've enjoyed every minute of it, but now I'm back to work and it is so boring!

Happy New Year!!

So I've been kind of busy the last few weeks and have not been able to get to a computer that had the internet, so I apolagize for the delay. Christmas was great. I got a digital camera so will be able to put pictures on my blog more often. That was the biggest thing I got. I also got a lot of gift cards and I got a cardboard cut out of Legolas from my cousin Ethan and his wife Libby. Which made me laugh really hard. It is also kind of creepy. It took me a while to find a place for it so it was just standing in the middle of my room so whenever someone would walk into my room there he was just staring at you. It scared Cash really bad when he went into my room. After Christmas Libby and I granny-sat Grandma for a few days so that Mom and Dad could have a little vacation. I'm never going to have Libby help me again. The whole week she complained about everything. It took like an hour, and a lot of persuasion, to convince Libby to empty Grandma's pot. And I got an earfull each time. When my parents got back I went and stayed the weekend at Cash's house and we watched the whole first season of Dr. Quinn medicine Woman. I had a great time other than Libby bossing me around. Next time I go to stay with Cash I'll make sure Libby's not there. Other than that I had a wonderful break and am not looking forward to the new semester. I hope everyone has a great 2008!!!

Libby I really do love you, you can just be very obnoxious sometimes!!!
