Happy New Year and happy birthday to me :) I just turned 21 on New years eve (yeah buddy I can legally buy alcohol for the bourbon pecan pie). Nice thing about a NYE bday is that everyone celebrates it. I am just that special. For my birthday we went to Color me Mine and painted pottery which was sooooo much fun!
these are our beautiful creations. We did the usual dinner, movie, watch the ball drop and part-tay like there is no tomorrow. I am still analyzing what Lady Gaga was wearing.
Thanks to my family and friends who made my birthday so memorable. Now that I am a year older and one year wiser I made some new years resolutions that I am going to keep this year (but fo reals):
1. Read 3 books- any books I just need to start reading
2. Be Happy
3. Be Healthy: stop eating so many freakin sweets!!
4. Be more charitable
Also during the final days in Colorado we went to the aquarium which blew my mind. Also new life goal: become the mermaids that swim with the animals!
So I love Colorado with all my heart but I missed Provo. I missed my roommates. I missed the dinner group. I missed my Jerusalem friends. I missed the tree house fellas. Just everyone and I am so happy to be back. Tomorrow when school starts I will probably take back what I just said. This semester is going to be rough. Well I need to go to bed so I can rest up for the first day of school!
One final thought: I want to sum up the highlights of 2011 which I think has been the best year of my life.
1. JERUSALEM!!! which includes Galilee, Turkey, Jordan, pretty much every second of those 4 months, and meeting some of the greatest people/ making 80 new best friends
2. Jimmermania (still obsessed)
3. Moving into chandell 897 with my best friends (includes meeting Jessi)
4. meeting the dinner group boys and tree house guys
5. running a half marathon
6. climbing mount timp
7. and having an amazing family
I don't think it could get better than 2011 but I have a feeling 2012 is going to the best yet.
a.) i can't waitttt to get our pottery. i especially can't wait for you to get all 4 pieces. lol. i have a feeling you're going to be an even bigger hit in the dinner group once those make it to you. b.) i feel ya on eating less sweets. it's sooooo hard. but possible. right? c.) i support your mermaid resolution. worthy goal. andddd... i like that picture of rob. haha. hope school is going well!!! xoxo
