Gravity is working against me.

2011 in pictures now.

Watched Horne 55 grow up, lots.

Saw some pretty amazing things.

Went to way too many concerts for my own good.

My favorite human being? Yep, still this one.

I couldn't be more grateful for these two girls.

Found a new addiction.

Road tripped to California.

Maybe we are twins?

The REAL addiction.

Self explanatory.

Said goodbye to my childhood. AKA the end of HP.

Did pretty good on my summer list.

Steen got marriaged!!

Dug up the rocketdogs after two years. Still there.

Had some wonderful people to get me through some rough times.

I LOVE THIS GIRL. How will I live without her?

Learned some new skills.

Finally reunited.

Worked on my classiness factor.

Had lots and lots of fun with her.

Yep. I have THE best friends.

I'm halfway done with my cougar experience. Weirddddd.

Still in love with Bryce Avery.

I'm grateful for new friends.

Made it through Smoothie King only because of these girls.

Look at my family. Beautiful, wonderful, forever.

Watched my sister fall in love with one of my good friends.

Had more fun than I feel like I deserve.

Met Will. Hugged Will. Oh yeah.
4 of these people are now some of my favorite people.

Got hurt more in fall semester than I think I've ever been hurt... ever.
Turned 21. When did getting this old happen?
Was lucky enough to have this boy come into my life. And stay in it.

Yes. I do have the best roommates in the world.

Kimmie got marriaged!!

Disneyland with the family :) Good times.

And that's a wrap.

What a way to start the new year.

2011.

Recap:

One of the craziest years of my life.

Why?

Lived with a girl that I did not get along with more than any other girl I've ever met.
Wanted to go on study abroad, it wasn't right.
Took two organic chemistry classes and two physics classes in the same semester.
Wanted to be an EFY counselor, it also wasn't right.
Went on tons of fun dates.
Went to St. George a couple of times.
Didn't do so hot on a few tests.
Learned what it meant to give your all in a relationship.
Road tripped to California with my sister.
Worked long shifts and overtime many weeks in a row.
Conquered the hardest puzzle ever.
Lived in a room full of food storage for a whole summer.
Went on some super fun summer vacations.
Tried to go to pharmacy tech school, apparently wasn't right either.
Went to a lot of sweet concerts.
Quit my job.
Seen the return of my many of my faithful missionary friends.
Got a much better, on-campus job.
Rekindled friendships with some old, wonderful friends.
Marched in a gay rights parade. On accident.
Dyed my hair for the first, and probably last, time.
Gave some friends away for marriage.
Unburied the rocketdogs from x-marks-the-spot.
Did crazy things. Just because we can.
Buried my first close relative.
Watched my little sister fall in love.
Learned how to forgive and forget.
Felt countless nudges from the spirit to tell me what to do.
Got called a waste of space.
Finally saw that coveted 100% on the testing center screen.
Had some embarrassing moments.
Learned not to judge too quickly.
Went to Disneyland with my family for a whole week.
Had my all time record number of flag pulls in flag football.
Watched people go through much harder things than I can imagine.

That's the short version.

But the most important thing I learned?

It's all in His hands.

And He loves us. He's guiding us through it all.

While our plan may not work out, His plan always will.

Cheers to the new year.
