Last Post of 2011! A Good Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Just want to reflect on this last year! I made a lot of new discoveries about life and myself. I made new friends and connected with old ones. It was a good year!

NOW TIME FOR HILAREE'S TOP 10 FOR 2011!!!! (blue are links)

10. Blog! -Metro Mondays

9. Westwood 50 years

8. Community Nursing: This was an awesome class and it started me thinking about do public or global health a little later in life.

7. Shoulder Surgery again: I had surgery in 2008 because of a torn rotator cuff. It tore again in May and I have been grinding down the bone over time. It dislocated at the end of the spring semester this year and had surgery a week later. Kept me from doing much this summer.

6. September 11th 10 years

5. Girls Camp

4. Heart Surgery: In my adult health clinicals I was able to be in the OR during an open heart surgery and it was amazing. When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher told a story about when he saw open heart surgery and that it was a very intense experience. It's true. It was awesome and I won't ever forget it!

3. General Conference

2. Trip Out East

1. 3 new baby girls (I love my nieces...and nephews!)

Kayli Mae

Alexandra Kensington

Phoebe Ariona (I actually haven't met her yet, but I already love her and think she is super cute!)

It was a great year overall and I am really looking forward to 2012!!!

Westwood's 50th and Pine's Apples

Westwood High School (my alma mater) celebrated it's 50th anniversary as a school and there was a party! I went and partied at the parade, alumni party, and the football game! I went with Faith, my BFF of 6 years. We became BFFs Sophmore year right when we began high school!

At the football game with Lewis! Go Warriors!

We haven't changed too much since high school! :) Still silly!

The Homecoming parade was awesome! They had a float for every decade of Weswood's existence! This is my decade! 2000-2011 It's a warrior headdress! Totally cool!

This is my other favorite because of who's on it!

This was the Seniors float and I thought it was awesome! I remembered that I am a Senior too (in college!) and so I felt special about graduating in 2012 too!

Today, I went to Pine! Pine is a cute little town that has festivals every once in a while. Ashlee and I went to one in May and decided to go back again and we brought Holly with us this time! It was the Fall Apple Festival. We shopped and I ate a carmel apple, while Ashlee and Holly had their frozen chocolate covered bananas.

Ashlee and I bought charm bracelets! (mine is on the left)

It's been a fun weekend!
