2103 Bucket List Recap

At the end of 2012 I decided instead of making resolutions I would make a Bucket list instead. See original post here. I was super excited when last week I looked and I actually have accomplished some of the items on my list! Go me. Here's a wrap up of how I accomplished those goals: 

1. Train and run a 5k.
-This one I didn't do, sadly. I did go running in the spring, but then I injured my ankle and that kinda ruined this item on the list. 
2. Climb a mountain.
 -For FHE one week in the spring we decided to hike to Squaw Peak in Provo. We didn't make it to the peak, but we made it to the top of some mountain! I also hiked Y mountain a few times.
3. Take a dance class or go dancing.
- Fall semester I actually had to take a dance class for my graduation requirements. I loved this class and had no idea it was on my bucket list.
4. Save a decent amount of money to buy something useful.
- The most useful thing I bought this year was my college textbooks. This was something that put a bigger hole in my pocket than I imagined it would. 
5. Read a classical book.
- This year I read Pride and Prejudice as well as The Wizard of Oz (I didn't know this was a book and that there is more to the story after the stuff they show in the movie. Super cool.)
6. Go on a road trip.
-Can't say I did a road trip more than 50 miles this year. This will most certainly be on next years list.
7. Floss every single day (365 days, ya'll).
-I made it a surprising 5 months with this probably and then I let the habit slip. I floss regularly but I skipped a few days this year.
8. Help someone in need.
- I can't imagine that I didn't do this at some point this year. The one thing I can think of is randomly making my roommates bed. I know it's not the best example, just the one I could think of. 
9. Surprise someone.
- I don't know if I did this. You tell me?
10. Learn to cook something new.
-We all know that I have a love for cooking. This year I learned how to cook many different things in my crock-pot such as chicken cordon blue, creamy crock-pot chicken, and Cafe Rio chicken. That beauty is one useful appliance! 
11. Go skiing (Yep, never done it).
-Still have yet to do this. I blame it on the high cost and the fact that I took 18 credit hours this past semester and had little time to spend a day skiing. 
12. Do a craft project that will benefit someone other than myself.
-Thank heaven for Christmas! I learned to sew better this year thanks to my amazing aunt. I sewed pillows for my apartment as well as aprons for people for Christmas. 
13. Be a volunteer.
-Spring semester I volunteered in a local Elementary School and I also volunteered along with my extended family to help feed the homeless. 

Eight out of thirteen isn't bad if I say so myself! I can't wait to see what my 2014 Bucket List will hold (when I actually take the time to make it...haha). 

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Dearest Utah

My dear sweet Utah, What an amazing three weeks you've given me. You always will be my home away from home and I will always be grateful for my summers spent with you. Utah, you teach me a lot every single time I'm with you, and this year you've given me much to be thankful for. You have taught me that family is never that far away. You have taught me that life in itself gives great challenges, but those challenges make me stronger. You have taught me that one of my most favorite things is seeing my grandparents hold hands while walking together. You have taught me that the mountains are the most beautiful place in the world. You have taught me that the stars are so much brighter when you are actually looking for them. You have taught me how much I am blessed to have such amazing friends back home. You have taught me that it's okay not to look your best every day. You have taught me that Law & Order: SVU is a slight addiction shared by my cousins and myself. You ha...

102 Days.

Well Folks, it's been exactly 102 days since my car left home and headed out west. Each day that I'm away from home I discover more about myself, my relationships, and my Heavenly Father. It's hard to place a time or a date to your life changing especially when it happens over a period of time and through many hard lessons. Now more than ever I realize the importance of relying on my Heavenly Father in all times, in all things, and in all places. I have such a testimony of the love my Savior gives me. He is my constant companion and he is my everything. At times things can get dark and things can get lonely. During these moments of trial we too often forget our divine worth. We were all sent here with a unique and special plan. We were destined for greatness and we were destined to allow ourselves to achieve that divine potential. I have learned to never give up on my Savior, because when I don't give up on him I don't give up on myself. These past 102 days have...

What I want my future kids to know when they are in their early 20's.

If you've been reading my blog since the beginning you'll already know that I blog for my future posterity. If you haven't been reading since the beginning you now know that is why I blog. I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately and I decided there are some things I really want my kids to know about my life during the early 20's. People say High School is the hardest time of your life. Those people are idiots because the hardest years of my life have been the early 20's. Here are the few things I know for certain and things I really take to heart about this time in my life. 1. Finish college. Knowing I now have a diploma and a bachelors degree brings comfort and security. I can't control many things in my life but getting my degree and being done is something I can and did control. Knowing I accomplished something hard and admirable has been incredible. FINISH COLLEGE. 2. It's okay to not be married yet. Sometimes I feel a little left behind...
