2015, by the numbers

I really like doing this year-end review by the numbers. It makes me happy. Though numbers can't accurately sum up everything, I think they do a decent job. I'm interested to see how my numbers next year will stack up to this year's numbers. Happy New Year, everyone!

My Year in Facebook Statuses- 2015 Edition

January

• New favorite life accomplishments: 1. Totally rocking a Minute to Win It type game and moving 50 M&Ms from one bowl to another using only a straw and my breath. 2. Becoming an LCSW!

February

• Someone told me today that I remind them of Brené Brown. That's one compliment that will really stick with me. She's totally my spirit animal.

March

• First world problem of the day: realizing you're super hungry right when you finish your dental appointment. Deciding whether to stay hungry a bit longer to enjoy your super clean teeth or to just give in and eat is a really tough decision...
•  An amazing hour and a half massage right before bed? Don't mind if I do! I love having a massage therapist as a roommate! :-) (Also, if anyone wants a fantastic and reasonably priced massage, contact Meagan. I can personally vouch for her incredible skills.)

April

•  Anybody else sometimes Facebook stalk themselves at 2am? No? Just me? Ok...never mind. Off to bed I go, then. :-) (And for the record...I blame Meagan for starting this. Haha.)

May

• My toilet got clogged yesterday and my fire alarm went off over a piece of burnt toast tonight. Why did my apartment suddenly decide to make me pretend to be an adult who fixes things?

June

•  Waking up with a headache is the worst. Today might be a kind of long day...

July

•  ...apparently, I have new upstairs neighbors. And I'm once again reminded how loud people can be, even when they're just walking around.
• Why do I always forget how much I love swimming and how soothing being in the water is to me? I might just have to splurge and get a membership to a gym with a pool...
•  So excited for holiday/vacation day tomorrow! Pretty sure this is my first time using a holiday or vacation day since starting my job where I'm not leaving town. Little sad, but it'll be so nice to just relax at home, especially with this great weather!
• Started the day off with a water aerobics class where I felt slightly out of place, as I was the youngest participant by at least 30 years. But it was an awesome workout, and I have a feeling the day is going to continue to get better!
•  So tired after such a long (but fun and productive) day. Hiked Table Rock, went to the farmer's market, cleaned the church, floated the river, read a bit, ate pizza and watched a movie, and played Phase 10. Who knew you could fit so much into a Saturday?

August

• Had so much fun at the Pentatonix and Kelly Clarkson concert! Gotta love amazing artists at a great outdoor venue on a perfect summer evening with great friends.
• In honor of my upcoming birthday, I'm considering jumping out of a fully functioning plane. Because why not? Any recommendations for good skydiving companies in the area, or within a good road tripping distance? And anybody want to go with me (or have other awesome birthday suggestions)?
•  And...I'm roommate-less again. What is it with all my roommates leaving me for Utah? So rude! Haha. Gonna miss you Meagan! Provo and UVU aren't gonna know what hit them. J

September

• Lovely weather, enameling, a free 10 minute massage, and a dollar scoop of Ben and Jerry's for dinner. I'd say September's edition of First Thursday was a success...even with me parking in what was apparently a paid lot and getting a small ticket. Whoops.
•  Oh my gosh! I forgot how much my blood pressure rises during BYU games. What an amazing last play! Go Cougars!
• I had such an amazing weekend in Grand Teton and Yellowstone! Sad I missed watching BYU beat BSU, but I really couldn't pass up going on such an incredible trip. I need more adventures like that in my life. (Now, if only I had more vacation time...Haha.)
• Anybody want to give me their TV provider log-in info so I can watch the BYU game? J (I don't like games being on channels I don't have!)

October

• Ok, Phoenix/Mesa friends, I'm coming down October 22-25 for another friend's wedding. (What is it with all these friends getting married in Arizona in October?) I have a bit more time to play and explore as compared to this last weekend. Any recommendations of things to do? And anybody want to join in on said adventures?
• Survived the three days of grand opening! So tired and ready to collapse into bed...But still so excited and grateful to be in a new and beautiful store with such a great team.
• Got a window seat, even though my boarding number was C18, then I got to watch Say Yes to the Dress on my flight because of the free live TV! Thanks, Southwest. This trip is off to a great start!
•  Finally signed the contract to add my new roommate (who has been here for almost 3 weeks already... haven't been super impressed with this new management company). Instead of just a one-page agreement like the previous company, they essentially made me re-sign an entire lease. Reading through all the stuff I had to agree to almost makes me want to just buy my own place and stop renting! But I don't think I'm quite grown-up enough to do that yet... right?

November

• I don't think I've ever been so unprepared and unmotivated for NaNoWriMo before. I'm not even sure if I see myself getting to 50,000 words. The 1667 words for the day is intimidating enough right now. This month is going to be interesting... but here we go, anyways.
• Oh, NaNo. I'm less than 4000 words in (where I should be around 13000 words if I were on track) and I just decided to switch from third person to first person narrative. This is going to be fun.

December

• This cold weather is making me very excited to go to somewhere where it's summer to celebrate Christmas. Who needs a white Christmas? Not me.
