Hakuna Matata: 2014

Last Saturday, my friend Adelynn and I ran the Haunted 5K in Orem. It was a super fun race and we had a great time making tutus and getting all dressed up for the race.

Waiting for the race to start!

Ballerinas!

Then on Sunday, Kirsten invited some of our friends and me and Tyler over for dinner, which was lovely.

Monday I went to a ward FHE where we decorated cookies and carved pumpkins.

Tuesday I went to Institute.

Wednesday Tyler and I went to Cornbelly's! It was so much fun! He'd never been before and we just had a blast.

Thursday night was our first tournament game for frisbee!!! We played a great game but lost. It's single elimination but it's okay because we had an awesome season with an awesome team!

Friday was Halloween! Allison, Tyler, and I went down to Grandma and Grandpa's. It was super fun and it was nice to have them meet Tyler. We had dinner and went trick-or-treating with the kids which was really fun. Afterwards Tyler and I went back home and watched a movie.

Saturday I ran a race at BYU with some friends!

That night Tyler and I made dinner then went to the dollar store and each picked out one thing to do with each other (we're trying not to spend a ton of money right now). Tyler bought a giant coloring book and I bought a jumbo game of checkers.

Today was church which was really good, then Tyler and I made dinner together!!

Happy 2014!

It is crazy how fast 2013 flew by. It was filled with so many good times and so many exciting changes. The year started out with a wonderful winter semester. Some highlights include awesome times with some of my best friends, such as winning the BYU Winter Olympics and going to the Festival of Colors.

Netherlands!

Spring term was a total blast! I was so blessed to room with some of the greatest girls I've ever met! It was amazing how we were all total strangers, but after 8 weeks grew to be some of the very best friends. I was also blessed to serve as Relief Society President. I grew to love each of the wonderful girls I was blessed to work with. What an honor it was and I learned so much from them all. I played on the best frisbee team and seriously enjoyed every moment of those 8 weeks!

Roommates!

The best day at the lake

Frisbee team!

Summer I took a much needed break from school and spent a few months at home. My family came and visited in Utah before we all flew home together. We did a lot of hiking while there too! We took an awesome family vacation to Boston and Maine. We saw a ton of historical sites and spent some time in Acadia National Park, as well as went to my mom's hometown. It was great!

Fall semester brought even more good times and changes! I moved into a new apartment with some fabulous girls! We have had so much fun and it's been so great! I also started working at the BYU testing center which has been really good. Classes were great this semester as well. How lucky I am to have had such a great semester! I am very excited to see what new adventures 2014 will bring!

Well here's a little recap of the last few weeks of the semester and the Holidays with my wonderful family!

The weekend before finals, my parents flew out for my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary surprise party. But, I did not know that they were coming out for the party, so they totally surprised me and my sister the night before the party! We had a lovely time spending some time with our family and honoring my grandparents!

Me and my cute cousin!

Finals came and went, and even though it was kind of chaotic with my work schedule, I survived and flew home!

Katie and Scott came down on Christmas Eve and we got to celebrate Christmas all together! We had a great time. We went on some family runs and bike rides since the weather has been so beautiful! We also went to a Rockets game, spent some time with old friends, went to see Zoo Lights, did some shopping, and much more!
