Highlights of 2011

So, yes, I may possibly be a month and half late on writing this post, but I still wanted to write about the wonderful things of 2011. It was a pretty great year, a bit challenging, but the challenges taught me a lot. Some things that I always want to remember from 2011 are

• I was hired at Western Governor's University as an editor. I am loving it.
• Lauren, Jordan, and I went to Alaska and stayed with Lauren's family. We went dog sledding, went to Micaley's school musical, and did tons of other fun things!
• I bought my car, Ronald.
• Jordan, Lauren, Tyler H, and I went to the health and healing expo.
• I helped Kaylee move back home for the summer. My car was so full! It was hilarious.
• Lauren and I had a summer of veggies. We did a CSA through Bell Organic Farms, so every week we had tons of veggies and were able to try new veggies. It was delightful.
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
• Jackson Hole is always the best. Lauren L came with us for the first few days. We went to the figure 8/demolition derby one of the nights, and it was so, so fun. One of the best nights of the year. Nick, Kaylee, Lauren, and I all would choose which car we wanted to win the round, and then we'd cheer them on. I think Nick was the champion. We also went on lovely hikes.
• Tim McGraw concert,
• Josh Groban concert of loveliness. I went with my mom, and it was amazing! Josh's voice is beautiful, and he's kind of hilarious. His opening act was really cool too. I don't remember his name, but he played the piano in a new way.
• Lava, Kaylee, Nick, and I went to the aquarium kind of as a final party before Kaylee left for school again. It was really fun.
• Lauren and I went paragliding.
• I ate very healthily and learned more about natural health, which I love.
• I went to St. Louis to visit my friend Tasha. She showed me around, we ate tons of delicious food, and we just enjoyed hanging out with each other. Love her!
• Oh! and that was my first time traveling alone both ways of the trip. I left out of and came into Provo airport. It is so tiny and cute.
• Halloween was fun. I was little red riding hood and my roommates and I went to our multi-ward dance.
• The holidays went by so fast. I didn't quite get to do everything I wanted to, but there is always next year, aka this year!

I know there are more things, and so this list may grow as I remember them. This year is going to have a lot of changes, but it's going to be good!

My Nana always makes up rhymes for each year. I haven't heard what it is this year, but I'm going to say that my rhyme for the year is Improve and Enjoy Myself in 2012. It doesn't quite rhyme, and it's a bit wieldy, but that's what it is.

p.s. I forget how much I really love lists until I write one again. I just love them.
