2010

 January- I moved into the Bytheway house, located in downtown Salt Lake City. I transferred to LDS Business College. This is where I met my new friends: Eileen, Keri, Lynnea, Cynthia, and Ashley. The biggest house ever, way cool! It was a little old but it wasn’t too bad. We all bonded right away it was great! It was nice living a couple blocks from where my mom works. This move to school helped my parents and I bond a lot better. =] Had a lot of frustrating money problems around this time, worse than I’ve ever known before. I met Brayden and Nathan. I realized that when a guy likes me that I run away. Also met my friend Griffin. My dear friend Katie from BYU-I didn’t leave too far away from me so she would come over a lot to hang out with us all.

February- The ending of Jan. and this month I was in a really depressed mood about life. Things just weren’t going right. There was so much change. I met another new friend, Wayne! Got my first eye infection, allergic to black nail polish I owned. My friend Julia got engaged =] I got voice lessons from Brittney, it was a great experience. Also, met my dear new friend Isaac. I hadn’t seen Will in awhile so went out to visit him in Ogden for a weekend. This is where I met Heather. Grandma Moore was having heart problems. My dad was going to go to Afghanistan.

March- In the experience of living in downtown without a car, I have become a Trax rider. It’s not as bad as it seems. I asked my mom why she doesn’t say I love you and she goes because the ones you love the most can hurt you. Found a new love for my mom, she means the world to me. I got my service calling. Had difficult times with the roommates. Started my 30 day commitment of working out. It was going really good =] “It’s the sense of touch. I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just so we can feel something” I feel down the stairs, one of the funniest moments of my life (Lynnea and Keri) HAHA Having some family issues, that I believe brings us closer later on. I try to help out the best I can. I was on the KUED TV answering calls; it was a really good experience. Have a wonderful friend Laura that I’ve met. Taft died a year ago, its weird remembering all of that. I turned 19 with Lynnea and we had an AWESOME party!!! =]

April- I met my beautiful friend Mikelle =] Our ward got to sing against protestors for General Conference, it was the scariest, most thrilling experiencing I have EVER had! I loved having roof moments with Lynnea while singing Disney music. Sang in a showcase with our choir, and we did AMAZING!! It was so much fun. Got a brand new laptop, it’s a great feeling! I started working as a banquet server at the Lion House, and got my first credit card.

May- I met Kami, Suki, Logan, and Josh!! I love new friends. Suki soon became my best friend! =] “Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are.” Was in my first photo shoot, taken by Laura! I felt beautiful, it was the funniest thing I’ve ever done. Went to Thomas the train with my nephew Jerimiah. I met Suki’s other best friend, Heather. I got called as a co-chair for the service committee. Also made another new friend Zach.

June- Had our first stake service committee campout, which was a lot of fun! Where I met David who sang to us while we work haha I re pierced my ears and dyed my hair blonde. I looked around for a new place to live for the first time on my own, with Suki’s help of course. It was a great learning experience. Bought a plane ticket to Michigan for a weekend to surprise my friend Carli for her graduation =] We bought a inflatable pool which was SO not a smart idea. Met up with our friends Nate and Sam and had great adventures in a freezing cold pool while David played his guitar. Had the best visiting teacher, Katherine. I had a new responsibility in life, which was harder than I thought it was going to be. Also learned about jealousy in all sorts of ways.

July- I met Lauren. I also experienced my first heat exhaustion, which was HORRIBLE! Got the cops called on a party we had lol I got another new phone, The reality. Realized people aren’t what you think they are, found out about Wayne. Had to deal with lots of drama this month with roommates but we learned to work it all out. Found out I have really bad allergies that I need to take medicine for now.We got a new roommate, Julie. I got my first digital SLR camera, Nikon!!! “The world doesn’t stop for anyone,  life keeps going and the world keeps spinning, in hopes that we will soon catch up to it.” Went to the Provo River to raft, really scary but super awesome! Was trusted. I met Andrew and Seth, crazy awesome guys! We started Bonfires this month. I became a lead on small shifts for work. =]

August- Our first ER trip with our dear friend Karlissa. Haha Went to New Mexico for the first time, went to a fair, a carnival, and saw Aztec ruins. The most fun I’ve had in a LONG time. I tried lots of new things. I worked on patience. Almost got hit by a car and my first thought was “That would of hurt.” Lol It was a tender mercy that’s for sure. I went to the ER next with a really bad bloody nose. Suki and I moved into our new apartment!! =] I learned how to truly be sorry.

September- I went on my next trip, Arizona! Where I met Haley, and Sally and went with Karlissa as well. I got my first Henna tattoo. I bought my first pair of skinny jeans and I love them. I also got footie pj’s with Stephanie!! Went to New Mexico again and to the four corners which was amazing!! I got a really cool bracelet. Also saw the ruins of a trading post, it was really interesting! My mom got laid off of work. Dallin got back from his mission, I was super excited to see him. I met Anthony. I became closer to the gospel from situations. Also, I got to experience this electric wave, aura stuff with your body. It really relieved some stress, way cool!
I learned to take deep breaths and take life step by step. We got a new roommate, Marilyn. I dated David. Honestly, the best boyfriend I’ve ever had.

October- Went to Colorado for a weekend with my family to see our cousin Emily’s wedding. It was really good to see them again. “Life is too hard without something to hold onto.” Honestly can’t remember much of what happened this month, it’s all kind of a blur. Had another party this time at Haley’s and got the police called on us twice so we got a fine. David and I broke up. I got to know Jeff, coolest person ever!

November- I can’t really tell you much that happened here because I became a blogger (thanks to Mallory!) and wrote in it EVERY day and then accidently deleted all my posts so I don’t remember much of what happened. I became addicted to Taylor Swift’s new CD. My roommates left me for Thanksgiving to Washington and it took them 4 days to get home. I almost went crazy! I had moments I regret but such is life. Also met my good friend Spencer. And I got to know my friend Devrey a little better!

December- I now have 3 blogs. 1. An everyday blog everyone can read. 2. A personal journal type blog no one can see 3. One where I write about my scripture reading that day. I think blogging has been really good for me. Suki and I are the best of friends as always! Have to say a lot of goodbyes to those who are leaving for break. On a random note, I’ve been on a One Tree Hill kick! =] This month I have struggled with actually caring about life, seems kind of pointless sometimes. Made another ER trip, this time for Suki, she’s so clumsy and I am messy. (aka I was building a shelf and left it out unfinished and she fell and cut her leg on it)


                                                                                                                                           

This year has been very different from other years but I realized how SO much can happen in just a matter of a week. I was really surprised! If I did not mention your name I am really sorry, I did it all in a hurry so please forgive me. I really do care about you all!!! This year I’ve experienced love and felt loss. I wouldn’t take any of it back because it’s made me grow stronger. It also made me realize a lot more things that I kept trying to avoid. On a funny side note this year I’ve kissed 5 guys, only one being my boyfriend. Haha
I’ve also become closer with my family and love them all very much. I have found my true friends and learned lots from them all. I could probably say that I’ve cried more this year than any other BUT I have also truly laughed harder than any year as well. We had lots of awesome picture moments, adventures, and mistakes but all memories we will never forget! =]
