The Year in Review

Happy September 1st! Exactly one year ago today, I ended my multi-week cross-country roadtrip extravaganza and moved into my place in Sugarhouse to officially began my new life in Utah.

When I first realized I was coming up on a year I was disappointed, thinking that I hadn't done much or had many adventures, but as I thought it over some more, it turns out I've actually been pretty busy. Here's some of what I'm been up to (not in chronological order):

Went to Las Vegas twice.

Drove to Michigan and back twice (not counting the drive out).

Drove to Seattle and had a lovely vacation there, seeing six old friends in three different states.

Vacationed in DC and escorted a friend/protegee for her first visit to the temple.

Vacationed in Rexburg, Idaho four times.

Cried once because I didn't get to go to Rexburg.

Got a job.

Got a promotion.

Fell in love.

Got a broken heart.

Got over it.

Understand everything about life better now.

Was asked on three dates by three different guys in just one week.

Attended my first political rally.

Paid a utility bill for the first time in my life.

Moved THREE times:
once into a shared house in Salt Lake
once into a darling little cottage in Draper
once (just yesterday) into a charming huge, old farmhouse in Draper which I own.


That's right. I bought a house. It's a long story that I will tell you later.

All in all, I'd say it's been a pretty awesome year.

Yay!!!! I love that the house is now officially yours!!! How do you feel? Will you take pics for us? :)

I've been feeling that way too... that I haven't done anything this last year. Maybe that's the trial of having such full lives. We tend to think we're not doing anything when really we're doing so much!
