2009 has come and gone

2009 seems like it flew by. but at the same time last january seems ages ago. i guess i kind of sort memories into school years instead of actual years. cause spring of freshman year and fall of sophomore year seem like two completely seperate years. i have done so many things this year, i can't even believe it. a few of them include:

• lived in a hotel
• went to lake powell, sun valley, indianapolis, st george, wendover, vegas, san diego, santa barbara, elko, oakland, san francisco, LA, new orleans, houston
• got my pilot's license
• made some new friends and kept some old ones
• moved into a new dorm room
• spent lots of time with my family
• had a boyfriend
• gone boating and thrown off the tube only a billion times
• rode motorcycles into the sunset [as well as in the rain]
• argued with my sisters
• become better friends with my sisters
• addicted to tetris [thank goodness for the bet]
• said goodbye to too many missionaries
• football soccer basketball
• watched usu beat byu in basketball
• discovered a whole new love for hockey
• been a good friend
• been a bad friend
• flew amazing places in my little plane with great friends
• read a book or two
• got good grades
• learned to try and keep some things to yourself
• went to the air force base
• learned many things about my grandpa
• cried
• laughed

in 2010 i hope to...

• fly many more places
• always choose to be happy
• get a job
• focus on school
• travel, travel, travel
• go out of the country

• always smile

"you gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. you are able to say to yourself 'i have lived through this horror, i can take the next thing that comes along.' you must do the thing you think you cannot do."

welcome 2010
