2007

I wanted to do a year-in-review. . . (no worries that I'm just a couple weeks late on this) . . .

Here's to the most memorable things that happened in 2007.

And by memorable, I mean things that I can remember right here on the spot--at 10:00 on Wednesday night. I'm not cheating by looking at a calendar or journal or anything.

January:
-uh, school started again. I honestly don't remember anything else.
-Oh wait, the Fiesta Bowl! That was memorable! And that was the same day I cried at the top of the hill at Bogus when Collin tried to teach me to snowboard. (dude, that was no bunny hill!!)

February:
-I did my pre-recital jury and . . . "passed with flying colors!" (according to Del)
-Collin's wrestling team won State (and I almost cried from the strain of cheering against dear old IF High)
-Collin was 5A Coach of the Year
-I babysat Dakin's & Chelsea's kids for Valentine's Day. (along with Clare & the Gilmore Girls! yea!)

March:
-For spring break Collin went to Iowa to compete in a wrestling tournament.
-I went to Idaho Falls for my Grandpa's funeral. I played Clair de Lune, the song I learned just for him. One of the toughest weeks ever.
-I practiced the piano 3 hours a day. (wahoo!)

April:
-Senior Recital!!!
-Weird obsession with the "Twilight" series. . .
-no more practicing the piano (didn't I used to do that for fun???)
(everything else is a happy blur of relief)

May:
-Collin was called to the bishopric--(biggest surprise to everyone ever, especially us)
-Graduation!! (ahem, I now officially have a bachelor of music in piano performance . . . :)
-Collin still had a month left in school. What was I supposed to do?

June:
-Collin got out of school! And immediately started on his goal of "working 100 hours over the summer" (definitely NOT my idea.)
-Trip to Yakima/The Gorge Amphitheater to see John Mayer

July:
-Idaho Falls for the 4th of July
-Girls Camp! (my first time as a leader!)
-Collin went to Fargo for Nationals-- (as a coach :)
-I went to California to Camp Oasis--CCFA camp for kids
(can you see how we were in town for like 5 days total all month)
-Most important: Harry Potter 7 came out and I read it in 3 days

August:
-The great Denver adventure (yes, a road trip down there)
-School started for Collin but not for me. . . yippee! (and actually a really weird adjustment.)
-"Official" piano lessons started. (35 students!! holy cow!)

September:
-Student count down to 28. (extenuating circumstances, I promise.)
-um . . .

October:
-I dressed up like a cat and a witch (each day) for 5 days. What a wild life I lead.
-We had 0 trick or treaters.

November:
-Thanksgiving was spent, sadly, here in Boise. Although we did have fun with the Jahnsens.
-I worked the day after Thanksgiving for the first time in my life and it was also the boringest day of my life.

December:
-Too busy with stupid things when I should have been enjoying the season.
-Christmas! :) (THAT was fun.)
-house deal seems to be working out! (January--house deal fails :(

And now you have officially read the lamest year-in-review ever published. Congratulations! I hope that at this very minute you are patting yourself on the back for having a better year than us. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
