So the end of 2011 has come and that means my traditional year in review. I thought it might be fun to do something different this year by going through each month and citing one good and one bad memory I’ll take with me. When I say bad I mean more challenging or difficult. So here goes…
Good 🙂 | Bad 😦 | |
January | Watched Sherlock on BBC and loved it | Fell Down a Flight of Stairs/ Turn 30 |
February | Make great strides in PCOS treatment | Receover From Fall |
March | Work Success | Difficult Victoza Response |
April | Royal Wedding | Diabetes Diagnosis (then diagnosis lessened) |
May | Mom in Town | Strabismus Surgery |
June | Surfing in Hawaii | Exercise Pains and Struggles |
July | Family Reunion | Difficult Preparations for Open Water Swims |
August | Deer Creek Swim | Bad Date |
September | DC Visit | Sore Throats |
October | Slam the Dam | Fibromyalgia Diagnosis |
November | Thanksgiving at My Parents | Tonsilitis |
December | Christmas Activities and Traditions | Start of Poler (also great blessing) |
Let’s hope for a 2012 with few struggles and tons of joy! Of course, we often find the greatest joy in overcoming the struggles…Still, a little breather might be nice! Either way I am sure it will be full of growth and discovery.
It starts off with a bang. In January I have to change my wards into the mid-singles ward. It will be a lot of change which I am not a fan of but it will be a great opportunity to meet new people and get out of my comfort zone. I also look forward to 3 open water swims this summer but will probably not get a big trip (have to spend money on trainers rather than plane tickets!).
glad dc made it on the good side! it was great seeing you this year!
I think its funny that the royal wedding was a plus haha. I wish I had been able to follow it I have a feeling I would have gotten all manic about it. I’m really bored sick right now so I’m trying to remember what my good and bads were but I feel like I cant even remember that far back. I had to search my gmail to come up with these. I didn’t put bad because its the same thing for every one :P.
Jan: jared told me he loved me at about 1am on new years. after we jumped in the pool with sam and seth. I almost wrote jumped in the poop… haha very different meaning.
Feb: roadtrip home
march: honestly can’t think of anything good. it was the month of the tsunami which was so sad. Of course I was more sad for the ppl there. But i was waiting the whole month to find out if the study abroad was canceled which it was. it was a month of suspense and disappointment
oh wait i just thought of a huge one! Festival of colors, my 2nd favorite day of the year after christmas!! I love it so!
april: leave for europe
may: explore bits of france on my very own. oh and when the french couple walked in on me in my undies laying on the hotel bed that I thought was mine but was really theirs. 6s and 9s shouldn’t look so alike ya know.
june: my birthday… jared set up an outdoor dinner and we danced on the patio under the trees and the stars 🙂
july: I found the housing that I am currently loving!
august: started Political econ of women class
september: began my study group which gave me new friends that i love so much!
october: sam came out to visit me!
november: thanksgiving break
december: Christmas!
I guess you know how to get me to make long comments on your blog. get me stuck in bed with food poisoning haha and thats when i actually have time 😛 to make comments as long as this at least.
Those were so fun to read. I will definitely have to get you sick more often! Pretty good year you had. Some of those details I had forgotten. Thanks and feel better soon.
