Year in Review- bulleted list

I’ve had a tradition of doing “My Year in Facebook Statuses” as a year-in-review blog post, but...I really didn’t post that many statuses this year. Facebook was more of a way for me to post pictures from the races I did and to keep up with friends’ lives. I’m not even using Facebook that often anymore the past couple of months. So I decided to just do a bulleted list of things that happened. Facebook did at least help me remember some of them, though my calendar also filled in a lot.

January

• St. George Half Marathon and long MLK weekend in St. George 
• Got LASIK 
• Started Salt Lake City Track Club Winter Series 

February

• Found a therapist in Utah to go to 
• Al Carraway gave an awesome devotional at work. My takeaway: "Hard times will always be there. But so will Christ." 
• Last race of the Salt Lake City Track Club Winter Series and I won a raffle prize ($25 gift card to Cafe Rio) 
• Went to Encircle for the first time 

March

• Weekend in St. George to visit Madi, where she introduced me to women’s professional soccer by having me watch a U.S. Women’s team game 
• Alan Menken at BYU 
• Game night at Heather’s, which helped to start a great friendship 
• My baby sister turned 20! 
• North Star Conference 
• Messiah MoTab concert 
• Did the Playworks Utah's Race to Reduce Bullying 5K with Sara 

April

• Jordan River Temple Open House with family 
• Started six week fitness challenge
• Went to a Salt Lake City Bee’s game briefly, but then it was pouring rain and we left 
• Did a race every weekend for a month--Emigration Canyon 10 Miler, Girl Scout Cookie Chaser 2K and 5K, Salt Lake City 10K, Tulip Festival 5K 
• First Utah Royals home game
• Blind date with a guy to Temple Square 
• Roommate reunion with Sara, Julie, and Aleisha 

May

• Hamilton 
• Spamilton 
• Finished the 6 week fitness challenge, down 9.4 pounds and 3.3% body fat. Though I’ve continued working out at the same place. Who would’ve thought I actually kinda like weightlifting? 
• Ogden Half Marathon. Gorgeous race, got a PR, and had fun seeing Boise Galloway friends 
• Lagoon with some Boise friends 
• Grassroots Shakespeare Festival with Sara and Garrett and Julie 

June

• Utah Pride with Madi, then the parade the next day with Madi and Jess 
• U.S. National Women’s Soccer team friendly game at Rio Tinto vs. China 
• Drop 13 Half Marathon and got another PR and all three race medals (one for finishing, one for getting a PR, and one for dropping 13 pounds while training). 
• Went to Baltimore for a work conference. I really enjoyed hanging out at the Inner Harbor each day after the conference. 
• Started house hunting 

July

• Hobbler Half with Alma. Such a hard half--so insanely hot. 
• Pentatonix concert 
• Affirmation Conference 
• Love Loud concert 

August

• Hit 100000 miles on my car. 
• Saw the play Aubrey was in (Thoroughly Modern Millie) 
• Bubble Run with Sara and Garrett and Kelly 
• My golden birthday 

September

• One year anniversary at my job 
• Did the Moonlight Half and finished my race a month for a year goal 
• Waitress 

October

• Amazing work conference in New Orleans 
• Josh Groban/Idina Menzel concert 
• Lore at BYU with Sarah 

November

• Girls weekend in Park City 

December

• Christmas MoTab concert, with special guest Kristin Chenoweth (went with Jess and Taryn) 
• The Forgotten Carols 
• Small Christmas--two siblings now married and it was the in-laws’ Christmas 
• And now it’s New Years Eve. Crazy how fast a year can go by when you’re looking back at it.

Updates on 101 list from 2018

And... I'm terrible at updating my blog. 2018 has been a crazy year. But here are some of the things from my 101 list that I did:

• Get massage that I haven't done before
• Ashiatsu
• Take notes at church for 3 months
• Spend a day at Lagoon
• Go to a concert
• Actually went to a few--Love Loud, Pentatonix, Idina Menzel/Josh Groban, and a couple of MoTab ones
• Keep a gratitude journal for 3 months
• Run a race a month for a year
• And I actually did a race every weekend for a month, but that apparently wasn't on my 101 list, though I thought it was. Whoops!
• Collect five new smashed pennies
• Go to a state I haven't been to before
• Louisiana for a work conference
• Go to a dinner theater
• Spamilton at Desert Star Playhouse
• Eat at three Downtown Dine O'Round Restaurants  
• See 5 new plays/musicals live
• A Doll’s House
