4. EFY in general!

5. Finding out I was accepted to UVU's Nursing school!!

6. The three weeks of EFY in Tacoma where I fell in love with the PNW and met some incredible youth 

7. Coming home and finding out they had a spot for me in BYU's Nursing School

8. The end of EFY counselor trip to Disneyland! Conquering my lifelong fear of roller coasters, and making friends with these hooligans:

9. The two temple trips on the way home from Disneyland

Newport Beach

San Diego

10. Taking a 4 hour trip down to Mexico before driving back to Utah

11. Coming home and deciding that a five day trip to Disneyland was not enough time with this guy

So we started dating

13. Starting Nursing School at BYU

I'm grateful for 2013. It was a year of refinement. I learned better how to study my scriptures through teaching 200+ youth how to study their scriptures. I learned to be more flexible and go with the flow. I have been refined through loving someone who is so talented at all the things I struggle with, and who inspires me to try harder, to be humbler, and to move forward in my Becoming process. So many of my fondest dreams came true this year and I am so grateful to a loving Father in Heaven who gave them to me according to His timing. 

     2014, it only gets better from here.
