Top 11 of 2011

With another year behind me, I thought it would be fun to do a best 11 of 2011.
best memories, events, fun times, whatever i feel like. :)

and in no particular order:

1. my sista friend got herself married. what a great and marvelous day that was.
just how she thought it would be, except the lack of ice cream she actually got to eat at her own reception, but i think she will be fine. it seriously was such a beautiful day though. i love having a big brother. jordan is a good fit with our family and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. it definitely has been weird with my sista not home when i come home for the weekends, but it is so much fun to be able to help her decorate her apartment and just pretend to be a grown up like her! Can't believe it has already been over six months since the wedding!! now hopefully they will give me a niece or nephew to play with :)

2. Elder Keaton Flitton got called and is now serving a full time LDS mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. and what an amazing missionary he is. he has been in russia for almost four weeks now and i still cannot believe it!! this summer with him was perfect and i am so blessed to have him in my life! I'm so proud of my cute missionary!

3. I finished my first year of college! I still think it so so so weird that in just a few short months that my second year will be completed. i still feel like i could easily go back to 9th grade and be perfectly fine haha
i love being at utah state and all the fun things i have gotten to do!

4. fun weekend getaways to the cabin with my family, lava hot springs with the flitton's, and yellowstone with my girls!

5. my best friend, courtney, had the sweetest baby boy!! ah i could eat him all up he is so stinking adorable!! i have loved being home so i can go visit them any time, but i am going to miss him like crazy when i go back to school! boo.

6. my other best friend, abby, got engaged!! we all knew she would be the first out of all of our friends :) i am so very excited for her and kurt, i just still can't believe that we are old enough to be grown-ups!! i love helping her plan and cannot wait for this special day in may!!

7. bee's games this summer were splendid! we get season tickets and so i can't even tell you  how many games we went to! if keaton and i didn't know what to do some nights, we would just hop on trax and go to a game. we love baseball and i am excited for next season!

8. one of the funnest weekends ever in heber with my best friends!! we rode horses, took pictures, laughed, ate, slept, watched melanie fall out of her chair, and just had the best time ever. i sure do love my friends.

9. i changed my hair like every other month. if you know me, you know i have hair a.d.d.. this year started with long dark hair, changed to short, and then lightened way light and i chopped it even shorter, got bangs, had a week or so of coloring it a few times because i hated it, and now i am an auburn-ish shoulder length banged chick. fun fun fun.

10. i got really crafty this year. maybe the big rise of pinterest had something to do with it...we will never know. but i have made fun things that i enjoy and can't wait to use my hobby lobby gift card that i received for christmas to make some super cute throw pillows!!

11. i was surrounded by the best people each and every day. i have the best family, friends, co workers, residents, and extended family. i am so lucky to be able to look back on this year with a HUGE smile on my face. i know 2012 has so much in store for me, but 2011 was very great to me, thanks 2011: a year for the record books.


i wish you all a very happy and safe new year. may you all know and understand how marvelous life is and to give everyday your all.
