Dear 2013,
Wow. What a year.
But isn't it always.
365 days. A lot has happened.
January: I got a phone. Who knew that would impact my life so much. But it really has. It has been a huge blessing. I am able to contact people when needed. I also said goodbye to my cousin Anthony for him to go on his mission. I also said goodbye to my cousin Stockton for him to go on his mission. Isn't that crazy. Two cousins in on month. I stayed for a few days at my aunt and uncle's house. I got to play with my adorable cousins. For the end of January I went to a dance at my high school stag. I had fun but dances are definitely more fun with boys.
February: I sang a solo. An Italian aria. That is something to be proud of. It was my very first run and was a success. The choir boys came by one night. They sang "In the Still of the Night." I also re-watched Mean Girls. That was a big step because I can now quote it like every other white girl on the planet.
March: Region Solo and Ensemble. This was the moment I sang my solo for real. I was getting judged and this night would decide if I went to State or not. No pressure, right? Well, I made it to State. I remember helping Mr. Scott enter the scores and seeing mine and basically going into shock. It was an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment. Madrigals also got a one at Region so they were going to State also. St. Patrick's Day I went to two farewells. Well, there was supposed to be two. Life didn't quite work that way. But on the bright side I spent that day with my Starlettes. Plus I got a new dress out of it. And the very best part of March was the end. I went to New York City for Choir Tour. Seeing all the sights, taking a ton of pictures, stealing ketchup bottles, sneaking out, laughing it up with my choir peeps. You know, the usually stuff. I remember eating THE BEST waffle in the history of waffles. I would love to have another waffle like that. I went to my first Broadway play, Newsies. It was amazing. Central Park is just beautiful. I just love the city.
April: I came home from New York on April Fools day. It was the worst prank. I sang in the school talent show. I attended orientation for UVU. I didn't go to my Senior Formal. But instead I went to The Old Spaghetti Factory for the first time. And can I say that I am in love? A plus to being in the Madrigal presidency is being a judge for auditions for next years choir. Some people hate that but I love it. I love helping people achieve their dream. I went to Solo and Ensemble State and both Madrigals and I got a one. That still baffles my mind I said goodbye to my best friend as she left for the MTC. That was difficult.
May: Mother's Day was great. I got to talk to Tyler and I knew that would be my last time skyping him because he was coming home soon. That was too good to be true. Christina came home for health reasons but it was a blessing for me. I needed my best friend and she came home just in time to prep me for a rough road. I had my Madrigal End of the Year Concert. It was a fabulous night. I couldn't believe that the best part of my Senior Year was over. May was hard because I found who my true friends were. I found them in the most inconvenient way. Lots of tears were shed in May but I became a stronger person because of it. I can stand on my own. I learned friends shouldn't be making life a nightmare but rather they should lift you up, not tear you down. My family threw me a surprise party for my 18th birthday. And I was beyond surprised. It was a great way to end the month because I knew the people that came to my party really did care about me. I had my last choir concert and I danced in the rain.
