Happy New Year!

Many things happened in 2008. I decided (like many others) to look back on the year and reflect on some of the more important events that occurred this year. I came up with 12 different things. Well, here it goes...
1. I made Regionals for the 3rd year in a row. (For those who don't know how hard this is, it is a great accomplishment.)
2. My Grandpa Johnson died. It was a relief to us though because my Grandma and Grandpa are reunited after 20 years.3. My parents and I went to watch the Duttons and Higley High School. (They have a theater in Branson, Missouri and they chose Mesa to be their winter home. They now have a theater here. To be opened soon!)
4. I was in the orchestra pit for the Spring Musical at Mountain View: Beauty and the Beast. The hours were rigorous, but it was definitely worth it.

5. I graduated from high school! It was a wet and cold one, but it was so much fun! Our class started together and we ended together. It was great!
6. I worked at the Mesa Chamber of Commerce for the summer. I met a ton of great people and had a great experience!
7. I had the opportunity to be one the Stake Youth Committee and was able to help plan Youth Conference. Our theme was Rock Solid! We went up to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and had a ton of fun participating in different activities. We called it a Mini-EFY. By being on the committee, I was able to meet and work with different youth and leaders from our stake. I had a blast!




8. My family and I were able to go to Washington D.C. to attend my cousin's wedding.

9. I was 1 of 12 girls on Junior Staff for Girls' Camp. It was so much fun! We had a great time planning and "messing around." It was a great group of girls and we had a ton of fun together.

10. I turned 18! That has the explanation in itself.

11. I taught the 11 year olds in Primary. That was a lot of fun and experience I will not forget.

12. Janet and I went to Time Out for Women and Girls at the Phoenix Convention Center (all by ourselves I might add). It was a great day and we had a great time hanging out with each other.
Well, 2008 has been a great one, but 2009 will be even better!
