Wow!!! goodbye2010 hello 2011

I have been bad at blogging lately and I am sorry. I have been so busy! So to update you all on my life I thought I would give you a short summary of this year since the first is This Saturday. Wow!!! I can not believe how this year has flown by. To reflect on the last year I am going to go backward. Give you a summary of December and then I will give you one highlight from each month.
December- As you can tell by my new title I have gone through the temple. One of my dreams has finally came true. The day I thought would be amazing but amazing does not describe the day I had it was so much more than that. I learned and felt a lot. I did it a part of a Christmas gift to my mom which is why I picked the 17th because that is the day my parents got married. Even though I did it for my mom's Christmas gift it was a gift and a dream come true for me.
Also in December I had a fantastic Christmas. My sister's family could not come up on Christmas day so my mom and I just relaxed and got some things done. It was so good to just relax on that day. Then the next day is when we had our Christmas and my Grandma Hill came up we opened gifts and ate a fantastic dinner.
November- Of course the highlight of that month was Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful dinner and decorated my mom's house for Christmas and laughed at the kids.

October- My highlight was going back to Logan to visit some friends. I had moved back to Pocatello in July and so I missed all of my friends in Logan. It was so fun to see all of those friends and do some fun things.
September- The highlight of this month was that I got to help my sister give a baby shower to here friend Shannon. It was so much fun.
August-My niece was in a princess pageant and did very good. I was so glad to see her and she was so cute being on the stage. She did not want to get off.
July- My friend Sara and her husband Russ were home for a visit. They live back east so it was so good to see them. They were having a BBQ and I told them that I would try and come but not to count on me. Well I was able to go and I stayed until late. I did not get back to my mom's house until around 2 in the morning.
June-My friend Natalie got married. So my friend Lydia and I decided to drive down to Manti to see her. On the way down to the reception we stopped to stay at Lydia's friend's cabin and they did not want us to use the sheets on the bed and the only sleeping bag that I could find was a child's. Now I wish someone would have video taped me trying to stay warm and fall asleep because I am sure it was a funny site. I am so glad that I was able to go to Natalie's reception.
May-I walked through USU college graduation. My family,and two friends were able to be there to see me walk. I am still trying to finish my Spanish class so I can get that degree that I walked for. But I am glad that I was able to walk so that I could move home and save some money for this last year of my undergrad.
April- My IWA advisor, Sister Ruth Simmons and I threw my friend Emily a baby shower. Emily was the first friend that I got when I moved down to Logan that was not in my ward. We were friends from institute class and were friends from the first week. I was also a bridesmaid at her wedding. It was a surprise baby shower and I loved to see her face when she figured out what was going on.
March- Emily Olsen and I were in charge of the IWA activity of a holy ghost experience. It was so amazing to see how everyone reacted and then afterward to hear them talk to each other about what they felt.
February- Two of my roommates and I went sledding down Old Main Hill-Which is the biggest hill on USU campus. It was so fun and no one got hurt. I loved it. January- Was the start of my fourth semester being in the IWA-Abish chapter's presidency. I loved planning all of the activities and meeting all the girls. I miss being a part of it. One day I hope to go to one of the activities and see what has changed. I still talk to all of the friends that I have made while in IWA.


So that is my summary of my year. I wish I could have talked about more of my experiences threw out the year of 2010 but I think you all would get bored and I don't think it would have ever ended. 2010 was a long but fast year. I learn a lot this year and am excited to see what happens in 2011. Next time I blog it will be in 2011 so hope you all stay safe through the rest of 2010 and see you on the flip side.
