My junior year presented a curve ball at its outset, but I quickly discovered that the person God intended me to be needed to learn and grow. No complaints. As I have slowly worked to rebuild myself, I have enjoyed a number of blessings. Here are some:
1) Getting to have my sister in town. [I love you, Mady!]
2) Traveling to Europe for the first time and winning the national model united nations competition in Olomouc, Czech Republic. We also visited Budapest, Vienna, and Prague.
3) Jimmermania. I mean, well, you know exactly what I mean.
4) Learning to love Relief Society. This is me with my great counselors and secretary during winter semester.
5) Meeting people I admire in our society, including Condoleeza Rice, Elders Perry and Cook, Sister Silvia Allred, Mitt Romney (three times), and, though I didn't actually shake his hand, we'll count him anyway... Mark Zuckerberg.
6) Best friends. Need I say more? This is Ky and I enjoying a nice Japanese dinner in downtown Salt Lake.
7) Trips and visits with family and friends I love, including Aunt Gigi, Chase Renick, Grandma Eames, Aunt Stephanie, Aunt Melissa, and others. And of course... my family.
8) Lady Gaga Concert. Oh, and we had floor tickets. She could be listed among the famous peeps I met.
9) Tumblr and twitter. These things are life-savers. Use them. Therapy.
10) Cruising New York with a new crew of teammates. Oh, and we won. Again.
