Everyone does this on/around New Years. So why not me?
My friend Jaynee (one-third of the Trifecta of Awesome) put a post on her Facebook and asked people to write all the fun things we did through the year. As I was writing my list, I remembered all the greatness that was 2010 and decided I needed it all in one convenient place. Here goes.
January
~Spoke in church for the first time.
~Won a super sweet blog give away.
February
~Made awesome valentine's for my students.
~Loved mylifeisaverage
~Read the Hunger Games....and LOVED it!
~Found a hidden talent...dominating 12-year-olds at dodge ball.
March
~Realized I was officially shorter than many of my students.
~Dressed like Conan O'Brien for a school assignment.
~Made a list of things I wanted for my birthday.
April
~Learned that volleyball and cheap nylons are not best friends.
~I was asked on a date while driving on Bangerter...true story.
~Earth Day party...the first of many random holidays used to just have a party.
~My blog turned one!
~Free Pie! and a broken dead bolt.
May
~Fake mustaches and real sombreros on Cinco de Mayo.
~The Trifecta of Awesome was born at a Ground Control show.
~Had a weekend of awesomeness...which included bowling, finally building that dang IKEA desk, large amounts of ice cream, prophets and double rainbows.
~Spoke in church for the 2nd time in four months.
~Was called as the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society.
June
~Went to Lake Powell with the family.
~Sweaty Latin Dancing with Gabriel, Jenny and Rich.
~Manti Pageant with Jaynee, Jenny, Rich, Bryce, Gabriel, Ryan, Josh, Jayson and Anthony. Side note...this was the first time Anthony and I ever really did anything together.
~Began playing football with the boys in my class...usually while wearing a dress.
July
~Last day of my first year of teaching and field day.
~Movie under the stars.
~Celebrated our very first half-birthday.
~Dane's birthday celebration. I did a few things I never thought I would do. Went on a giant water slide and got an atomic wedgie at Seven Peaks and decorated a trunk for a birthday party.
~24th of July celebrations.
August
~St. George and Las Vegas with Ryan, Bryce and Jaynee.
~Ryan said I was engaged.
~First day of my 2nd year of teaching...easy peasy mac and cheesey.
September
~Had a surprise half-birthday party...first surprise party of my life.
~Made up a new slang term.
~Saul turned 100,000 miles.
~Went to work accidentally dressed as a pirate. Called the day Official Pirate Day.
October
~First 6th grade market day...had bright red hair for an entire day.
~Road trip to Los Angeles with Jaynee, Jenny, and Kellen to buy fabric for my wedding dress...before I was actually engaged.
~Went on a crazy road trip to Mississippi and Texas with Anthony.
~Got engaged!
~Went to the airport dressed as Zombie Ron Weasley and got Anthony out of a speeding ticket.
November
~Had a pumpkin carving party (in October) but blogged about it in November (not much happened in November).
December
~My car, Saul, died.
~Had engagement pictures taken.
~Finished the MEd portion of my Master's Degree. Three more classes until I officially have a Master's. I'm pretty awesome...even if I do say so myself.
~Tried to learn how to be a rapper. Didn't turn out so well.
And that's the fun, (mostly) amazing things that happened this year. My life really didn't start until about April...January-March were pretty boring. I'm glad I have lots of amazing people in my life now. Thanks for the good times. Love you all!
