365 Days Until I'm No Longer a Teenager

Numerically speaking, that is. I think I'm speaking for my entire family when I say: how did this happen??? This past year has been crazy  and waaaaay too fast! Let's reminisce, shall we?
Since my 18th birthday, I have:

Played the violin with the pit orchestra for "Oklahoma!" What awesome memories with two very amazing people!

I went to DC with my fantastic We The People team and had the best. week. ever.

I spoke in Stake Conference. And made my entire Stake Presidency cry...

I graduated from high school - finally 

I had another fantabulous summer in Driggs with the Mylers and the beautiful ladies at Corner Drug. In June, I met two baby moose. In July I got to spend a day in Jackson Hole with the best friend a girl could ask for. In August, Sally and I climbed Table Rock (we're so doing it again, Sally!) and Teralyn dyed my hair a fake red. I must say, I thought I pulled it off wonderfully. All summer long I also got to drive the sweetest vehicle ever, even though I may have had problems filling up the gas tanks correctly...

Of course, the most exciting thing about the summer was definitely Laura!

I started college here at Southern Virginia University in September. What a ride that's been!

I visited Monticello in October for a field trip

Isabelle and I visited Arlington National Cemetery over Thanksgiving break

And I got my wisdom teeth out over Christmas break! Thankfully, no documentation of that particular experience exists.

     These are just a few exciting things from the past year. As my last year as a teenager begins, I have a few plans, mainly for my last long summer break. Life's gonna be a party. Although to be honest, I'm not the greatest at planning those, so if anyone has ideas for what to do in Blackfoot between May and September, I'd love to hear them. But other than this summer, big things will be happening - I'll let you know details in upcoming weeks. One hint: my next birthday will definitely not be spent doing regular old homework.

     Eat lots cake and ice cream for me!!
