I decided I'm going to make a yearly tradition of summing up my whole year! (Refer to this post) For some reason though, I'm having a hard time remembering a lot of things from 2011, so bear with me, but here we go:
Celebrated the new year with the same friends as the previous year.
Jordan moved next door.
Went to Target practically everyday.
Went to karaoke night at Applebees for the first time.
Made many Logan trips.
Made plans to get married.
Bought a puppy with someone.
That particular someone quit their job with a great savings.
I continued to work.
Got sick.
Lost a friendship.
Gained anxiety.
Became sad.
Department at work changed.
Made new friends.
Took off to Vegas with Jordan.
Made a new realization.
Let go of someone.

Fell in 'like' with said friend.
Made more Logan trips by myself.
Baby animal days.
Winter "ended".
Jordan moved in.
Went back to the person I claimed to have let go.
My boss was let go.
Became extremely busy/stressed at my job.
Worked hard.
Worked even harder.
Shortened my hours at work.
Still worked even harder than most.
Laid outside a ton.
Met more people.
Made more friends.
Went home to California to see my sister graduate college.
Came back and worked more.
Ate snow cones.
Went on a cruise to Mexico.
Came back and worked even more.
Semi-lost that renewed friendship.
Drama.
Tears. Lots of tears.
Laughed.
Dilemmas.
Went to California with Jordan and Joe.

Continued to have my heart broken.
Rekindled the aforementioned lost/renewed friendship.

Cried even more.
Worked out. Hard.
Lied.
Regrets.
Got promoted at my job.
Started to feel happy again.
Learned to let things go.
Made new glorious friendships.
Kept some great friendships.

Prayed a lot.
Dance parties. Soooo many dance parties.
Halloween.
Went home for a pre-Thanksgiving.
Met my new baby niece!
Real Thanksgiving.

Became happier.
Laughed more.
Cried less.
Got ready for Christmas.
Went home for one day for my brother's farewell.
Went home just a week later for Christmas.
Had my birthday. The big two-two.
Dropped my brother off at the MTC.
Another HUGE dilemma - Could really affect 2012 and the rest of my life.
Not my favorite celebration of the new year.
This year sounds really sad for the most part. And I'm going to be honest - Most of it was. I don't want to forget all the good times and the great people I got to encounter, however. 2011 was a huge growing year. I've grown so much this year, and I'm ready to take what I've learned and apply it to 2012 and make this the best year yet. I'm ready to face life and to make the big decisions I currently have. Happy New Year, everyone :)

ReplyDeleteThe end.
P.S. come hang out again soon. okay bye.
I just got to read this post. I like it. Life lessons are tough and suck sometimes, but I'm glad you aren't forgetting the good times that are always tangled up with the bad times. The nice thing about life is generally we forget the bad times and the good times stand out :)
