Tiare: Living in a Song: 2011

Wow, another year has come and gone! I can't believe that we are just a few hours short of 2012!!! I am pretty excited for this new year but at the same time terrified because after April I have absolutely no idea what I am going to be doing with my life. But in this year to come I can look forward to running a marathon and graduating! Both big things I would say!

But its time to do another little review of my past year...

So all in all, 2011 was pretty great! Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family for making it so amazing!!!

After finals, Shane, Sam, Michelle C. and another girl in my ward drove down to Arizona! It was a little tight but we enjoyed listening to Christmas music, Russian music and reading the forgotten carols! Shane had to leave the next day for a job interview, so it was just us girls left. Michelle decided to stay a couple days at my house so we decided we wanted to go for a hike. Tuesday morning, Sam, Michelle and I started our journey to Camelback.

Here are some pictures from that delightful hike! The best part of the hike was there was a Christmas Tree at the top of the mountain! With homemade ornaments on top! Who does that?
