It has been over a year since I last blogged. Who knows if anyone even still reads this. Anyway, a lot has happened this year. Here's how I will catch you all up. I will give a brief update on each month since my last post which was in August of 2009.
September 2009
I was back in school and living in a house with 6 other girls that I didn't know at all. I was kind of depressed about the wedding being called off. This was just a rough month for me.
October 2009
I was doing a little bit better emotionally and was swamped with school. I still just kind of kept to myself though. Nothing too exciting happened that I can remember. I cut 14 inches of my hair off as well this month. This picture is my new hair cut.
November 2009
I don't have much to say about this month either. School was keeping me pretty busy which was what I needed. I got to go home for Thanksgiving break and I got to see a lot of my family. I ditched my glasses for contacts this month and that turned out to be a great idea! I love my new look. This is me with contacts.
December 2009
December is always nice cause school ends half way through the month. Christmas break was great. I got to come home and I spent a lot of time with my family. Honestly it was so long ago I don't remember much.
January 2010
School started again. I really loved my classes this semester. I was in ROTC again and it was keeping me busy which really helped my emotional side. My roommate did a photo shoot with me in my uniform. She is so talented!
February 2010
I stayed busy with school but I also started making time to do things with friends. Getting out of my basement bedroom and doing things with friends continued to help me be happier. I also got a new niece this month. Brookley Ann LeBaron!
March 2010
I got a new nephew this month. Austin Stanley LeBaron! I was just plugging along in school.
April 2010
I found out that I would be graduating in December! This was the best news of my year so far :) ROTC was keeping me super busy. Almost more busy than I wanted to be. I was doing a lot of color guards for all kinds of different events including republican conventions that the Governor was at.
May 2010
School ended and I moved home for the summer. About half way through the summer I went to my friend Melissa's stake institute class and after the class when we were just socializing I met my new boyfriend. His name is Lyil Sperry and is in Melissa's ward. The rest of the month was spent with him and my family. He got to meet most of my family on Memorial Day. He met everyone at once and handled it really well. :) This is a picture of me and Lyil. (it was actually taken at the end of the summer)
June 2010
I was working at Maple Dell Scout Camp. I was doing my internship for school, on top of being a commissioner, Asst. Head Commissioner, and Asst. Program Director. My weekends were spent with Lyil. A lot of weekends I would go to Lyil's concerts. He was playing in a band up in the Roy area. This picture is of the commissioners this summer.
July 2010
I was still at camp. Life was super busy, but I was loving every minute of it. Camp was really great this summer! Oh I don't remember if this happened in June or July, but I will tell this story here. I saved a baby deer's life this summer. We found an abandoned baby deer who was malnourished. My camp director kept it in his cabin for a night and then I got to drive it down to Payson the next day to the vet. It was the cutest little deer I had ever seen! This is a picture of the deer and my camp directors daughter Amanda.
August 2010
Camp was ending. I finished up my internship and passed with flying colors :) I had a couple of weeks in between camp and school that I got to spend with Lyil. I moved down to Cedar City and started my last semester of school. I only have 9 credits this semester. I am working part time as a janitor.
September 2010
I am just plugging along in school. I am counting down the days until I graduate. I have had some interesting experiences this month. My bedroom flooded and mold started to grow. I am currently living with my friend Dana and her husband while my land lord fixes the problem. I am so grateful that I have such great friends who will take me in when I need it. I am also learning how to play the mandolin and learning how to fiddle so that when I move home I can join Lyil's band. On Labor Day I got the chance to walk in the Onion Days Parade in Payson with the Maple Dell staff. We sang camp songs and did Maple Dell yells the entire parade route. I almost lost my voice that day, but it was lots of fun!
Well I hope you all enjoyed this terribly long update! Maybe I will try and write more before next year. maybe...
