20.10.

2010 was a great year. I don't think I'm ready for it be over. Maybe that's because 2011 sounds ugly. I can't decide which is worse 20.11. or two thousand and eleven? Or maybe I'm not ready for 2010 to be over because it was really was a great year.

20 Highlights (or random things I remembered while writing this):

1. Playing in a recital dedicated to my mom. All of the kids participated and she was so surprised and loved it!
2. Going to ND and Ogden to visit my sisters. It's always fun to go to their homes and be with them and their kids.
3. Doing an internship in human resources and discovering it really is what I want to do with my life!
4. Three of my best friends got married. Even though I wasn't able to be there for all of them, it is so fun to see them now so happy with their husbands. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by examples.
5. Two of my Jerusalem friends, Bridget and Daniel, came and visited me in Rexburg. We had so much fun together.
6. Getting surgery in my nose. (See how I bolded in? That's important.) Maybe I'll be able to breathe in 2011.
7. Going through all of the Psych episodes with my little brother Benjy and my cousin Barbara. We had so much fun doing that.
8. Running a company last semester for one of my classes. We were the Green Screen and we were awesome!
9. Going camping with my company at Badger Creek. There was a ropes course there and it was so awesome, except the stupid pole you had to jump off.
10. Falling in love with the guitar and practicing horrible, ugly songs for my class.
11. Living with Tia and Danielle, they're practically my sisters now and they made my apartment home.
12. I bowled a 99. I'm still bugged it couldn't have been 100, but just round up.
13. I read the Book of Mormon with my family in 4 months. We even had weekly quizzes (Thanks David), and summaries. We read the last chapter on Christmas Eve all together. It was awesome.
14. At the beginning of the year I passed my 1/2 way mark through college. This kind of scares me.
15. I had a random old lady stop me on my way to school, tell me I was walking wrong, and teach me how to walk the correct way. Definitely a highlight! :)
16. I finally watched a scary movie. And by watched I mean I hid under a blanket for 15 minutes before I walked out. Good stuff.
17. Weekly sleepovers with Barb (when I was home). Maybe I mention these a lot. Probably because they're all EPIC!
18. Finally getting a calling in my ward. (I've never had a calling up at school and it's been 3 years!) I was on the activities committee for 2 1/2 months and I loved it.
19. Having the whole family (17 and two halves!) together for the Christmas season.
20. Living in Jerusalem!

Obviously the biggest highlight of my year, and maybe my life so far, was the last one. So here are 10 dedicated just to that.

10 Things I thought I'd Never do, but I did in 2010:

1. I lived in Jerusalem for a semester!
2. I hiked Mt. Sinai and watched the sunrise.
3. I rode a camel along the Nile River.
4. I rafted down the Jordan River.
5. I saw the pyramids.
6. I went to Petra (and rode a horse there.)
7. I welcomed in Shabbat at the Western Wall.
8. I had the chance to play the part of Mary in the shepherd's fields overlooking Bethlehem.
9. I took New Testament classes on the shores of Galilee.
10. I went to Gethsemane and the Garden Tomb every week for 4 months.

Yep 2010 was perfect. So it's going to be pretty hard to beat it, but let's go 2011...bring it on!
