So I'll be eighteen in just a couple months,,
Here's some things you may have missed-- in this past year at least--
For starters- I turned 17.
-Through a lot, I became tighter than a fat guy in spandex with my BFFEWZQ Brianne.
-I got my braced off.
-Also through a lot, I've come to honestly truly unconditionally love my YW leaders. And their families. They amaze me daily. I'll always look up to them. I'll always love them.
-EFY was once again amazing. With even more amazing people.
-Girls Camp, also, once again amazing. With even MORE amazing people.
-&Youth Conference was amazing. Once again. With some of those same amazing people. Met some new amazing people too.
-Gabby moved to Texas. She's one of my besties. Our legends will live on. Tammy moved to Colorado. Good thing laughter is the shortest distantance between to people. She's amazing. Love you Tamm. Champ moved to Tooele to fulfill his dreams, all though it won't be the same without him,, I'm happy for him. Cheneys moved a few min away,, out of the ward so that's a bummer,, but it just makes it more exciting when we get to see them. And Ellen left on a mission to Washington DC. She's amazing and I know is doing a great job. I'm happy for her, and what she's doing.
-I'm a senior in high school. I really try to enjoy it, so far I'm doing a good job of that.
-Went to Homecoming with Bridger. He's really awesome. So fun. Just added to my highschool experience.
-I'm my schools FFA Chapter President. Long live the FFA Organization. Still doing the Floriculture comps. too. Trips are the best.
-I met Kirby Heyborne. Boy is he a cutie. Great singer &actor as well. &did I meantion he's cute?! haha Oh &he thinks I'm beautiful &&complimented on my awesome picture taking skills (; haha
-Me and Brianne haven't really decorated anybodys house for their birthday or anniversary or to let them know they're missed or anything in a while,, but we used to do that like crazy through the years.
-Got new YW leaders. Still love the old ones &luckily they're still a part of my life too. Now I have all the more amazing people to be a part of my life. I've already gained so much from them and it's just been a few months. Great months to come too. I really love these ones too. Just as the previous- they are amazing, I'm really blessed to have them all in my life.
-Halloween party was real fun. real real fun. I even turned it into a date- great idea.
-Sadies was just a few days after- also real fun.
-Same with M.O.R.P. of course.
-Still just having fun finding random awesome stuff to do. Taking life as it comes.
-My camera got stolen. Along with other things. But that's the big one for me. Tons of pictures on it. I still have the memories at least, but pictures are my life. And now they-- whoever they are-- practially know my life. and everything in it. As I think about it,, I hope they looked through those pictures and got a glimps of who I really am. &I can only hope that maybe, just maybe, that person is pleasing unto my Father in Heaven. Maybe they saw those pictures, everything I'm involved in, what's truly important to me, and didn't just go onto the next picture but really thought about it. And maybe it made an impact. hopefully for the better. That's my hopes.
Oh and I got a temporary camera a couple months after it got stolen to last me another month till Christmas.
-My brother Alex got married to his best friend Heather. I couldn't ask for a better sister in law. I love them. And my family. Oh how they're the world to me. I don't know what I'd do without them. Thinking about it kinda gets me a bit frightened for college,, being so far away and all. But I know it'll all work out. &in the long run-- we can be together forever. Even knowing just that alone gives me comfort. My family motto-- No Empty Chairs.
-Church is a huge part of my life. Being a part of it has blessed me so much. I'm married to the Church. (These are all the temples we got to see at Youth Conference by the way)
-I'm still obsessed with The Office, of course. (Oh &my Michael Scott bobble head got decapatated,, but don't worry-- I fixed it.)&have also found an additional obsession. My new found obsession-- Glee. It's true- I'm a huge GLEEk.
-Christmas was amazing. I was sick. My whole family got sick. But we were sick together. &being together was awesome. Oh &on a more worldly side- I got a new camera!! Christmas break was goood.
-Kony coins for Kids was once again a success as well. I love to serve.
That's basically my year in a nut shell?!! I know I've forgotten things. And with me being me, it kills me to publish this without them. but it's already a novel. so here's what we have.
-Have I meantioned how important the people in my life are to me?!- I've honestly continully been blessed. All through out my life. I love people. Love em.
Makes me really think about 1 Timothy 4:12 that says "Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity" which has been the theme for 2009. Theres no denying that being an example is important. Obviously. Alls I have to do is think about everyone who has ever had an impact on my life (which is like everyone, truly) and remember that there's a possibility that someones looked to me too, and well I'd rather be one that makes an impact for the better. I'd love for that. So I try to keep that in mind. and that's what I strive for. Along with other things at least.
And well now that I've talked about the theme for 2009, and 2009 is coming to a close, I guess I'll close this Blog entry.
2009's been absolutely great. May 2010 be even better. I know it will be. Therefore it will be.
2010 theme- Joshua 1:9; "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest"
Great way to start the year already (:
Well. This should probably be all for now.
It's been a great year.
Lookin' forward to the next one.
