Update time!

I get it, I am awful at this whole blog thing. UPDATE TIME!!

January: Went to Cuba!!! What a great surprise birthday we pulled off for our friend Mike! We had a blast and I got to swim with some Dolphins!! Woot woot!!

February: Sweethearts dance happened and I had a blast going with a big group of people and my mate Chris. Ben set it up to be like "The Hunger Games" minus the killing part. It was a lot of fun!! For actual Singles Awareness Day (Valentines day if you're in a relationship) I got to go shooting with Allie and Ryan. I think I'll do that every year.... Canada also won the Gold for Hockey in the Olympics. Woot woot! Take that USA!!

March: Accepted...

April: Conference weekend (It was Alison's first time in Salt Lake!) I got to do a session at the Salt Lake Temple, which was STUNNING and so glad to be with some great friends.
I also turned 26...blah...getting so damn old.

May: This month was a tough one. I left the Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary after 4 years and decided to take the summer off from work. It was a big decision and really tough to do but I am thankful for my experiences and the great affect that it has had on my life. The people are wonderful. The work is great and the youth are amazing.

June: Fractured my foot...in a cast. Once the cast was taken off, low and behold I sprained and tore some ligaments in my ankle...really bad. I was bed ridden for weeks. It was insanely painful and still hasn't really heeled...

July: Still heeling. Family from England also arrived to spend some time. Got to meet some of the cutest kids on the planet!! BBQ's, patios and the lake is pretty much how my glorious summer went :)

August: The big move happened. I got accepted (see March) to Southern Virginia University and packed up my belongs, crammed them into my car, and drove across the United States of America to small town Buena Vista, Virginia. There will be a whole blog post of this great road tip. Be warmed, it's a long read.

September: School. What the heck was I thinking??? I also got into the prestigious singing group "The Fading Point" at school. We get to travel around America, singing to people, teaching the youth and spreading the gospel and our testimony. Pretty much one of the toughest things I've ever signed up to do, but I am loving it!

October: Lexington Ghost Tour. Boots. Leaves. Pie. Autumn in Virginia is possibly one of the most beautiful things to witness. So nice to not have any signs of snow :) *cough cough, Calgary*

There ya have it folks. An update on my past year. I know that a lot more has happened and I am so awful at this whole blog thing, but I'm gonna try and be better. I wanna be able to document what the heck is going on in my world.

To my family and friends. I miss ya. A lot. Can't wait to come home for Christmas.

xoxo Stay Beautiful.
