The End of 2012 - what a year

Dear READER,

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!

Can you believe its 2013? I can’t it feels like just yesterday when we brought in 2012. 2012 has gone by really fast and I have had a lot happen during the year – and when I say a lot I really do mean a lot.

I graduated from one of the best Universities out there – BYU-Idaho. I don’t think I really realized how much I was getting at that school or how much I would miss it until I graduated. I learned so much there and made the greatest friendships I could ever wish for.

I was offered my dream job, which I took. I wake up every morning and look forward to going to work. Ok there are some days I would like to sleep in for another hour but I still love going to work. I get to travel all over the U.S. which is way cool. It’s funny because I was caught calling one of my work meetings a vacation. It’s because they put us up in these nice hotels, and treat us well even though we are out there working. Its’ great!!! I also work for some of the nicest people out there. They really know there stuff and so far it’s been a wonderful experience working there and I hope to continue that trend for a long time. Side note --- I just hit my six month mark this December. I really can’t believe it’s been that long.

I moved to Virginia – which was a scary move for me. I didn’t want to be in the D.C. area because of how busy life gets and how much people get caught up in their work. I was given the job of my dreams so moving to Virginia was part of that deal. IT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. I love it. I have a wonderful apartment, with no roommates (not that I didn’t love my roommates at BYU-I, I was just ready to live on my own. It’s one of those things I had to do, just to be able to say that I did it and survived – so far I’m surviving just fine – other then I miss coming home to a girl who will listen to how I flirted with this guy and got his number and so forth, other than that I’m doing great.).

I found a second job – Not that I need it at all, I don’t I just wanted it. I want to get a bicycle, take a trip to Disneyworld, be in Germany for Christmas and I don’t want to scrip through those events I want to be able to do and be, and go where I want not having to worry about the cost. Well at least not as bad as I would normally. So I have this babysitting job. (This is where I am right now on this wonderful NEW YEARS EVE)  Every other week I watch these kids for a few hours. It’s $15 an hour which is actually really great seeing as these are the cutest kids ever. They are 7, 5, and 2. One boy and two girls and they are just adorable. So it’s not hard to come here and watch them at all. Tonight we made telephones out of cups, necklaces out of cheerios and noodles, ate fortune cookies, and played games. It was tons of fun and they each got to stay up late and party. None of them made it past 11pm but we had fun while they lasted.

See it’s been a busy year. 2012 was great to me and so much fun. Worth everything I went through to get where I am today.

Ok enough about 2012. It’s the New Years and that’s all making goals and setting plans so go on to my next post to read about 2013 and what it holds in store. I know that there are only a few maybe two that actually read my post, but I like to keep it a bit interesting and have you read on, so on to the next post.

Yours Truly,

Dear READER,


So my Sisters were up in Rexburg Idaho with me for graduation. It was so fun to have them up there. Well the morning after graduation I walked them all over campus, showing them where I had classes. Walking to all the weird places. Showing where I had my breakup, my first kiss, and where I first held hands. I should them the day I saw President Eyring for the first time (my stake president). I also showed them where you will see the most people fall on a snowy day. It was so much fun.

I didn't really think I would miss it until I was showing them around everywhere and than I thought -- WOW this is my home and I'm not coming back. It was a bit of a sad thought but exciting as it meant life was moving on.

Well anyways the point of me telling you this is just because I have tons of pictures I would like to share with you. I hope you enjoy it....for those of you who have not been there, this will be a sneak peak of campus. For those of you who have or might even be up there now you will laugh at some of the places I took them.

I had the girls walk down campus and then back up --- I didn't make them do it fast though so it was fine but we were cold by the time we got back up to the Ricks building where the car was parked

Yours Truly,
