2012 highlights

January: One year ago today, I hopped on a plane that took me to a place that introduced me to new cultures, new friends, and provided so many experiences that taught me so much about myself. At the end of the month I went to Petra and kissed a camel.

February: Everyday was spent exploring new roads in the old city and playing soccer with new friends in the neighborhood.

March: I spent a week and a half traveling around Turkey, and then two weeks in Galilee.

April: Brooke and Doug got married!

May: I moved back home for the summer and spent as much time as I could with my family.

June: Most days were spent at the lake and I turned 20!

July: More water skiing:)

August: Jerusalem reunion at Bear Lake and I moved back to Provo for school.

September: School started and I did the dirty dash(seriously, a little kids dream come true).

October: Lots and lots of football games!

November: One of the most memorable moments this year. I received my mission call for my church to Los Angeles, California. Spanish speaking. I am so insanely excited!

December: Spent Christmas in Hawaii!

2012 has been so good to me. I've traveled to Israel, Jordan, and Turkey. I have started the Elementary Education program at school, and most importantly I received my mission call to Los Angeles. I am so incredibly grateful for my family who loves me and is always supportive. Even though this past year has definitely been one for the books I know 2013 will be even better. There will undoubtedly be hard times, but the rewards and experiences will far exceed the hardships.
