a year in review...2017
How has an entire year gone by without a single post!? Probably because twenty seventeen was the quickest year of my life. What a year its was! So much happened and changed in the last year. It was one of the biggest and best years of my life. I'm not really sure where to begin because this last year was just so good! (And because I already wrote an entire blog post but then it didn't save...)
Well I finished out my senior year of high school. It's the weirdest but greatest feeling being done. I honestly loved high school. I had the greatest friends to enjoy it with. So as ready as I was to be done with it I also wasn't. I knew that lunches with friends, basketball games and school dances were soon going to be over. Taco Bell and Wendy's would no longer be my lunch everyday. Friday nights would no longer be spent cheering in the student section. The day dates, dinners and dances were over too. As I experienced these last special moments I enjoyed them and cherished them all a little more.
Graduating was one of the most surreal feelings ever. I remember having tears in my eyes as I sat there knowing it would all quickly be over. Walking across the stage and then I was officially a high school graduate. Kind of a bitter sweet moment in life. The "real world" now stood ahead of me.
This last year I really just tried to enjoy every moment a little more. Because I knew that some of these times together with my friends could be the last. My summer was wonderful. But it began the time for the first of many goodbyes. In June I had to put my kitty down. A hard decision to make and an even harder goodbye. She was my bff. I still miss her lots and somedays wish she were sitting curled up at my feet. In July I had to say goodbye to the guy I was dating as he left to serve his LDS mission in Brazil. (The hardest goodbye.) Over the next four months four more of my friends left to serve missions, two went away to college and two decided to move to another state. I always thought about the day when I'd have to goodbye to my best friends as we started to go our own ways. But it was hard and weird to actually be living it. Life has been so different but it's good.
Highlights of 2017...

little video of some of my fav memories from 2017
2017 was so good to me! It will always be one of my favorite and most memorable years. Now I'm just living my best life and trying to figure out where to go next. One of these days I'll figure it out. But for now I'm just enjoying life one day at a time. Here's to the last little while of being a teen. Excited to see what 2018 has in store for me. Happy New Years!
hello 2018.
