Thinking about it this last year for me was a crazy one. Lots of changes and new things came into and out of my life. Its kind of been a crazy ride. I will list a few of the more important things.
2012
Spring Semester 2012
This semester sucked. Hardcore. I was told that i would be fine in a chemistry class even though it had been four years since high school chemistry. Not. A. Good. Idea. It was a challenged and i received grades that i never thought i would get. Ever. As someone who worries about school a little too much this was really hard. I struggled with it a lot. I know it kind of sounds trivial to people but it was a big deal for me. For the first time i felt my career was at a risk. I made some decisions though and it worked out. And it perhaps was one of the best decisions academically i have made.

Eric's Mission
We sent Eric out to the great state of Washington in April. And it sucks. I love that he is there and it is the greatest thing for him. But it sucks. Totally understand where Sarah was coming from when i was gone. It has been rough. And he hasn't made it any easier the butt head -_- but it has been a big transition not having him around. there are days where i want to just have a man night with my brother and....he isn't...there....it sucks. Hardcore. Missions are the best thing in the world. But lets be honest peeps. They kind of suck.

Summer 2012
Things happened prior to the summer that are far too personal to discuss via a blog, but these events have led me to figure out who i really am as a young adult. On June 17th, 2012 my car broke down on the side of the highway and that is where Kylie White and I rekindled something incredible. SOOOOOO glad my car did break down. ;D Kylie is incredible. She is the most independent, beautiful, and supportive person i know. She rocks. I am half a person without her. I could go on and on about her, and it would not get old. But it probably would get old for you reading this blog. Moral of the story...she was my highlight of 2012. And she is the highlight of my life. We are pretty awesome. And damn cute together. True. Story.

The Election
The presidential election was out. of. control. I am incredibly glad with the out come, yet i am incredibly disappointed in a lot of people. People who i thought were good people saying vile things to me and others for different beliefs. It. Was. Disgusting. People found out that i am not the average Mormon boy kid that i was when i was 12. I have an opinion. And that scares people i guess. What scares me is what people say when someone has a different opinion than them. They can be right in their own idea, but the moment you differ from them you are a heretic and you need to re evaluate your testimony. So glad my parents taught me to think and be myself. Love them for that. I will support my president the best i can. May not agree with everything he does, but i do agree that our nations leader needs some respect.
Plethora of Friends
I have met a sloo of incredible people this year. Particularly, Paden Moss, Matt Green, Mikenzie Lynn, Andy Gilbert, Kayla Colten, Courtney Hamilton, Landon and Parker Greenhalgh and others that are incredible people. I finally began to talk to people in my major at school and now have friends on campus! Its awesome. These people will go far in life, and i am glad I am now affiliated with them. Friends are kind of the spice of life. Without them i can imagine life to be quite dull. In my case, my life is over spiced i guess...(cheesy yet beautifully crafted analogy. love. it.) :D

Emily
One of the unseen things about Eric being gone is that Emily and I are now mega close. We have always been super close...but now we are mega close. Even though its usually 5 days before we see each other and she is usually sleeping. Love the girl to death. And we party like its 1976 when we hang. Without her my life would be filled with science jokes and humor that would be lost to void space. Yet she fills it right a long with me. Cant wait for her to start her real life, and go to the chamber of secrets at Weber with her!

Overall this year has been one of self reflection and self evaluation. I feel that i have learned a lot about myself and what i want in life. Its had A LOT of downs and even more ups. Overall it was an incredible year. And i have a feeling that 2013 should be just as great. I guess that is up to me to decide.
P.S. there were a profusion of other fantastic things that happened this year. but if you already made it this far...I am sure you now know more than you would ever want to about me. Plus this was kind of cheesy. And who likes cheese?
P.P.S If you did read it all give yourself 100 blog points! And get 300 more COOL points if you post a highlight of your year!
