My 2009

At the start of 2009, I made a bucket list of things I wanted to do during the year. As I look back I realize that I actually got to do a lot of them! Here is a summary:
* Graduated from UVU in Public Health
* Ran my first Half Marathon!
* Went to the American Idol Finals with Marcella and Anthony, where I touched KEITH URBAN
* Hiked down Havasupai falls (didn't hike out.... but that will be on a future bucket list)
* Ate birthday cake with no hands on my Birthday
Bonus Surprise:
* Realized my gift as a match maker when I set up my brother Russell with Camille (my friend), they are now MARRIED and also my first success couple. If you are single so far I have a 100% guarantee that those I set up at least go out twice, and would LOVE to set you up free of charge.
In 2009 I also realized that life is way weird/unpredictable/sad sometimes/amazing and yet exactly as it should be. As I look back I feel like I am the luckiest girl I know and have so much to be grateful for.
The update for now however; is that I live in Salt Lake and am about to start my second semester of the Masters of Public Health program at the U. I actually really love school and by saying this I realize you probably think I'm kidding, but I'm not. I have way fun room mates and also have my two dream jobs, I teach ballet and work at a COOKIE SHOP!!

    I am glad you started a blog. I totally want to, but I am always afraid everyone will think it's boring.

    I love you! See you soon.

I wish we stayed in contact more, but I am thankful for blogs so that we can keep up with the everyday stuff a little better. You look great and sound really happy! I am proud of you for doing Public Health, for loving school, and for getting your masters! How fun! And teaching ballet & selling cookies... how great is that! Perfect jobs for you!
