out with the old and in with the new

I hope everyone had a great Christmas Holidays, it is always so fun to spend time with family and friends and to experience all the traditions. My holiday break has been extra sweet because I got to see Miss Shae Audrey after months of her being away at good ol' BYU, I got to spend quality time with Colboa, and the boyfriend has been in town for 2 whole weeks! Talk about a wonderful break! Here are some pictures to summarize what I have been up too!


It seems like just yesterday we were bringing in 2011 and now it is time for us to part! 2011 has been a great year, full of many ups and downs, but to be honest I am ready to see what 2012 has in store for me.

I am so grateful for this past year, I feel like I have grown and changed so much in this year alone than I have over my whole lifetime. My dad stated the other day that I am progressing to the "adult" portion of my life. I have so many mixed feelings about this, because I am fully aware that it is happening. It scares and excites me all at the same time. I have always thought myself to be a mature person but something feels different and I know some big choices are coming up in my life.

I have been trying to think of good goals to have for the upcoming year. I want them to be serious goals, things that I have to work towards. Not the typical "lose weight, save money, etc..." even though those are good goals to have I feel like I need a little bit more of a challenge. Mo set a goal for me to blog once a week, it might be quite a challenge but I will try my hardest. Especially since it is my form of journal keeping. Does anyone have challenging goals set for the New Year? If do, please share...I need ideas!

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2012, I have a feeling it is going to be the best year ever! Peace and Love!
