2012

Well it's New Year's Eve so I've been thinking about everything that has happened to me in the last year. I just keep thinking that a year sure is a long time. I year ago I never could imagine where I would be or who I would know. It's been a great but hard year.

One of the biggest things that happened this year was I decided to take a little break from school. I know a lot of people don't agree with this decision, but I know that it was the right one for me. It was a hard decision to make, but I have never regretted it (except maybe when I hurt myself and I want Ron, the dance trainer, to fix me). I will be going back to school next fall. I'm nervous but I need to this.

I have moved a couple different times this year. It was definitely a headache and extremely stressful, but I'm glad for the experiences that I have had. I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of incredible people and they have all influenced me in some way. I have finally ended up in Holladay and I am very happy. I have 2 amazing roommates and my ward is fantastic!

I have been so blessed to work for some awesome people. I teach dance at 4 different places and I love it! I have some of the sweetest, cutest dancers. I love being a teacher. Probably the best thing about my job is being able to influence my students and be a good example for them. There are so many things that I can teach them besides dance. Another great thing about my job is when I see my students grow and succeed. There is something so special about watching their faces when they understand what I have been teaching them and they finally are able to do it. I love my job!!!

Last and certainly not least, I started dating the wonderful, handsome, charming Brendan Clary. He is honestly the most incredible man I have ever met and I feel so lucky everyday that I finally convinced him that I am girlfriend material. Every single day he helps me to become a better person. For those of you who know me really well you know there's something special about a guy who can get me to eat chicken and salmon and who knows what else. He is my very best friend and I so blessed to have him in my life. 

Well that pretty much sums up my 2012. It has been a fun year! I can't say that I have loved every minute of it, but I can say that I am grateful for the lessons that I have learned. I have grown so much this year and I feel closer to my Heavenly Father than ever before. I can't wait to see what 2013 holds for me!
