Favorite movies of the year: The Avengers and Les
Miserables. I’m no movie expert and I don’t even watch very many, but when I
saw both of these I just wanted to sit back down and watch it again. {Also those
may be the only 2 movies in the history of my life where that has happened.}
Favorite TV show this year: Bones. Still the only show I’ve
ever followed.
Favorite Book: I can’t even remember the books that I’ve
read… but 2 of the books I read last semester for school were muy excellente!
The Sociological Imagination by C. Wright Mills and the Anatomy of Peace by the
Arbinger Institute. {Might I say that one of my favorite parts about 2012 is
that I actually really enjoyed the books that I needed to read for school... we’re
on the right track, folks!}
Ok that’s enough of those…
hmm 2012.
You rocked.
At the beginning of the year I just lived at home and worked. I thought I was going to hate it, but turns out it wasn’t bad at all. I ran in the color run which made me sick for 2 months, In March I switched last minute from running another half marathon to running a 10k (because I couldn’t breathe) and loved it! Such a great distance for people like me who hate training. I was a cast missionary for the Mesa Easter Pageant, went to Diamondbacks Fan Fest and got bumped into by Justin Upton in the clubhouse (he’s a big fella) and was actually pretty busy with all sorts of who-knows-what. In April I went up to Rexburg for school. But first drove through Colorado and went to a Dbacks-Rockies game at Coors Field. I was in school from April to the end of July. School is my favorite - 95% of the time I love everything that comes with it (especially in retrospect)! The learning, the friends, the roommates, the independence, the adventures and all that jazz. I got to come home one weekend for one of my best friend’s wedding receptions. Then I had a 7 week break where I came back home and worked, went to some Diamondbacks games, decorated Harry Potter cupcakes (that was a highlight of the year fo sho) and went to the 2012 edition of the Cousins Weekend in Mesquite, Nevada. Then back to school it was from September to December. I had the best apartment of roommates I have had thus far and loved and learned so much from all of them. I also had the hardest semester of school thus far – my classes seemed to be in beast mode. I really learned what I was made of and prioritized my life and realized school had to come before fun and I needed to take it more seriously. And I enjoyed almost every minute of that ;)! I also lived in snow for the first time – it’s not so bad. The semester flew by at lightning speed and when it was over I spent a few days in Utah with the cousins. Then came home to a new house and spent Christmas eve and Christmas morning at the cabin. And to end the year with a bang, today Mariah and I made superhero skirts!
hmm 2012.

2012 you were good to me and taught me a lot. I thank you
for your time.
Dear 2013, I’m ready for you! I have a good feeling about you – and it’s not just because I’ll be graduating with my Bachelor’s degree! Show me what you’re made of and I’ll show you what I’m made of! Bring it! :)
