Crazy year right? It wasn't all bad right? Haha of course I do have some epic highlights for the year. And I'm so glad that I had this year to strengthen me more and more. I also cried, laughed, was confused, sang songs super loud, had a party with my roommates, missed someone more than I can explain, wish I could be somewhere else than where I was, had a kiss here and there, was grateful for the people in my life, had some anxiety attacks. Wow crazy only one year brought all of those things right? I know your year could of been worse, more stressful, or way better than mine. But at least I can say this was one successful year for me. :) I hope you enjoyed 2011. && that 2012 brings you some wonderful surprises. That you never give up no matter how hard. And wish with all your heart.

Happy New Year EVERYONE!! ♥

Worst day EVER!

May I please just sleep the whole day away and when I wake up everything will be better? PRETTY PLEASE?!!?

I can't handle it anymore. I'm not the person who wants to sit in bed all day listening to sad love songs, cry, not get dressed and wish she was living a different life. That's not me. But yet that is all I wan to do today. Gosh freakin' dang it.

Final Skype for 18 months

Sister Rachel Ewell. I will miss you so very much. We had a blast in the small amount of time we had together as roommates. I will never forget the first day I meet you and you came screaming into the back part of the apartment. I was so scared as to what I was getting into. Haha. But I love you so very much. You will be an amazing missionary. I will write you for 18 months. :) I will miss you the whole time. I will try and get along with my new roommate. I promise. She wont be able to replace you but she will do. :) Don't be afraid. I know you have an amazing testimony of this church and that you will teach all those who seek it in their lives. :) I love you so much. I'm very blessed to have you in my life. && It was so hard to say good-bye to you today on skype. Saddest thing ever. I love you Sister Ewell. Don't forget what you stand for.

Much love, Aubs.

Merry Christmas!

This year I've really thought about the true meaning of Christmas. The reason we celebrate Christmas is because of the man who was send her on Earth to day for all of us. The sweet baby who was born in a manger. Yes, Christ did not have tons of people sitting around at the hospital. Instead there was no place for him. He was there with sheep and cows. But my favorite thing about the story of Jesus being born. Is the fact yes, it was not a grand birth. BUT. All the signs of His coming. No one was as blessed at He was. He is special and those signs were necessary for Him. :)

On another note. MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Becca gave me the PINK ORNAMENT I've been dying to have. :) It's my favorite. I got two books, a gift card, Pepsi, a cute block that says "Live, Laugh, Love" :) Merry Merry Christmas. I hope you are all enjoying your time off of school and work. :) ♥

First Semester? Check.

Can you believe it? I have finished my first semester of COLLEGE! AAAHH! I'm so proud of myself, not gonna lie. Haha. I thought finals would kill me and I wouldn't come back. But I did it. I have survived. Some days were hard to get up and go to class. && yes it's true some days I really didn't get out of bed and just sat there watching TV shows off hulu. But hey I'm pretty sure I passed most of my classes if not all.

I just sold my books! Woot! It's official I'm done with those classes and I couldn't be happier than I am right now! :) Also, I'm extremely excited for my actual college classes (I know I'll regret saying that later down the road) but it just feels like I'm in high school that I can skip class and not get in trouble for. Haha. Yeah stupid I know. Anyways...

I'm really excited to be home for 3 1/2 weeks. It's weird though I already miss my roommates. And the worst part, Rachel wont be there when I get back. Weird I know!

(L to R): Me, Nicole, Rachel, Emily, Janet

This is after Rachel had her farewell talk last week. Oh how I will miss her sooo much. She will be an amazing missionary though. Rachel has so much compassion for the people in her life.

The ups & downs

My birthday was... different then most. I couldn't wait for the day to end. Sometimes people should just keep their mouths shut. Not think of themselves. Certainly not on someones birthday. Some people have feelings and care so you could simply ruin the day that they had been counting down to. You know who you are. I've never been so thankful for the people in my life who truly love me and where there for me while I cried uncontrollably on my birthday.

Thank you so much for everyone who did wish me a happy birthday. It made the day a whole lot better each time someone wished me a happy birthday.

This last weekend I went to Temple Square and saw the lights. If you know me well, you know it's my favorite thing about Christmas time. I love Temple Square in SLC it's beyond beautiful. I was dateless. Which was not fun. Ugh... The dating game. Never really been a fan of it. At all. I did still get my fried pickles. Mmm so yummy. And I had a great time with the people I was with.

Nicole & I in front of the Temple

The group!! :) Yup do see me in the middle? Odd ball.
