Turns out that keeping a blog up is a lot of hard work. Must post more than once every year and a quarter. Wow. The last year has been kind of insane but quite wonderful. Some highlights since I last posted (not necessarily in order) :
1. Started my senior year. 10 credits away from graduating with my associates.
2. Realized who my true friends were, which is an eye opening experience.
3. Got a car.
4. Got a job. (Then got a car)
5. Had my first kiss
6. Lost fifteen pounds and gained ten.
7. Went to Disneyland!
8. Had an amazing vist from my wonderful Aussie friend Tanya.
9. Had the first real loss of my life in the form of a childhood friend.
10. Paid off my car.
11. Discovered zamzar.com and have used it to successfully pirate at least 500 songs.

13. Experienced my first blizzard.
14. Had the hardest football year of my life.
15. Got my YW recongition award.

26. Started Insanity which lead to the loss of 15 pounds.
27. Sang in a choir with Lex DeAzevedo and met the most amazing piano player ever.
28. Found out said piano player was gay which sort of crushed my hopes and dreams.
29. Acheived a higher level of hatred for the University of Utah.
30. Applied to college.

32. Changed my major/life goals at least 5 times.
33. Saw Steel Magnolias for the first time.
34. Work on a holiday for the first time.
35. And finally...received the greatest gift EVER. I am going on a three week expedition in July 2011. I am getting on plane, flying 22 hours and landing in Sydney where I will spend that time with my beloved Tanya Smith.
Yeah. I'd say it's been a pretty fabulous year.
Until Next time (Hopefully sooner rather than later)
Syd
