2011 in review.

2011 was a good year. not a huge life-changing year, and not a dull year. some things that happened this year:

-i moved out, again. me and one of my good friends, beth, decided to move in together. we had some amazing times, trying times, and absolutely crazy times. we moved in with 3 other girls, and our apartment was....oh, complicated. there was lots of arguments, crying sessions, shouting fights, roommate slumber parties, clothes exchanges, and lots of venting sessions. although we didn't all get along all the time, each one of those girls taught me great lessons, and i will never forget each of them for that.

-i dated, a lot. i was thinking last night about the boys i dated this year, the ones i went on one date with, or a few, or even exclusively dated. they are all SO different. i got hurt once or twice this year, i hurt a boy once or twice, but all in all, i had good times and learned a lot. i went on blind dates, i tried new things, i kissed a few boys, and i overcame a lot of fears.

-i tried a lot of new things. bullet bike rides, drifting, dirtbiking, movies in the middle of nowhere on a projector screen, bunny hunting, off roading, rodeos, lots of shooting, fairs, babysitting 4 little girls for an ENTIRE weekend, nannying, made a homemade gingerbread house, country dancing, crazy dates, i was the manager of BYUI's float in TWO parades, and i went through a cowgirl phase.

-crazy things happened. i got my appendix out, burnt my leg REALLY bad on a bullet bike exhaust, became an aunt for the second time, changed my hair too many times to count, d let me drive his duramax (even if it was just down the street), i conquered fears, completed 3 tv series (the hills, veronica mars, and the gates), my brother got married, i went to great concerts, spent way too much money, had too many bonfires to count, and i started beauty school.

-i did things i probably shouldn't have. stayed out way too late, kissed boys i shouldn't have, didn't wear my seat belt a couple times, hung out with multiple people i shouldn't have, and got in lots of fights with one stupid boy too many times.

2012 will be a good year, i am sure of it. i have cleaned up my life a lot, got rid of those dumb people who hurt me or used me, and i'm starting yet another new chapter in my life. i'm excited for what is to come.
