2011 was pretty amazing--how will 2012 compare?!

I know this year isn't quite over, but I thought I'd make a quick list of things I did in the last year and things I wanna do next year! Hopefully I'll have a few things to add to 2011 by the time 2012 gets here! Anyway, here it is...

In 2011 I:

  • Had a couple of really fun trips to California with Jordan.
  • Played Loveopoly for Valentines day.  I made it up. ha ha 
  • Jordan came to Utah, knocked on my window and surprised me. Best thing ever, to this date. 
  • Missed Joey's birthday. And Jr. Prom. 
  • Snow in Vegas! Weird..and funny because people freaked out over less than 1/2 an inch of snow.
  • Had my first (and hopefully last) ride on a Greyhound Bus--it failed miserably. 
  • Spent New Years Eve in a ghetto ass bar in Vegas with lots of old drunk people. I didn't get a New Years Eve kiss and I probably barfed a lot. 
  • I had lots of drunken bbq's--I do miss that. 
  • Lots of drunken fights, arguments, and driving. 
  • I had my heart broken. 
  • Left someone that I love.
  • Checked into rehab on May 5 and completed on June 29 (I think).
  • Met some really, really amazing people. 
  • Lived at the crisis center for a little over a month. Not too shabby. 
  • Got a job. 
  • Got my first apartment living on my own! And it's cute. 
  • Got a roomie. 
  • Adopted Calvin! I never thought I would love a kitty as much as I love Calv. I'm sure glad that he's in my life--I love him so much. 
  • Made some new friends; made amends with some old friends.
  • Had a lot of really awkward/depressing moments with my parents.
  • Chopped my hair and dyed parts of it red.
  • Hung out a lot with my grandpa at the hospital. 
  • Got to see Joey be the manager of his last High School football game in Salt Lake! 
  • Have been to lots of SUU basketball games with Joey, April, and Bryan. 
  • Gained back some trust from people--they trust me to take Joey, to hang out with my grandparents, and to drive their cars. Holy shit, man. 
  • Went to San Antonio, TX as a birthday present to myself.
  • On December 29, 2011 I will be celebrating 8 months sober! Time sure is flying...
  • I thought my family would never accept me for me--but turns out, things are going really well. 
  • Had an amazing Thanksgiving with lots of really awesome people. No drunk fights and I can remember it all.
  • Thought Calv was going to die--I was heartbroken. Luckily my dad pulled some strings, got him into the vet on a holiday and he was fixed with some antibiotics. :) 
  • Adopted Gretchen. I'm still working on loving her. She's cute but I just love Calv...
  • Still miss Jordan everyday and wish things could be different--and by that I mean I wish that I could have my cake and eat it, too. Clearly, that isn't possible. Damn. A girl can dream, right?
  • Started believing in a higher power--although some days are better than others in that department. 
  • Lost things--but gained so much more.
  • Grew my hair out- it's getting long! I had it in a bun for the last 8 months-ish and now I'm wearing it down and it's pretty long! Coooool.
  • Got one of my best friends back. Thank goodness. 
  • Wanted to run away to Vegas everyday and haven't. Missing people sucks. 
  • Thought about going running and haven't. haha...
  • Got a couple tattoos. And by a couple, I mean 8. :) 

In 2012 I:
  • Will complete rehab and aftercare stuff that I have going on right now. 
  • Want to get back into SUU or school somewhere. I miss school. 
  • Have a lot of amends to make to a lot of people. 
  • Want to go to a Jazz game.
  • Want to go to Disney Land.
  • Want to go to Texas. 
  • Want to swim in the ocean.
  • Want to have a cool esty shop. 
  • Want to run more (I'm not committing to anything just yet...haha)...and by more, I mean at all.
  • Want to get a smart phone. I feel dumb with my non smart phone. Plus, can't play words with friends.....
  • Want to take the foster care classes. I donno if they'll let me since I'm not actually going to do foster care right now, but I'll try. :)
  • Want to go camping, at least once. Good sober fun...eek. 
  • Want to go watch the NCAA tournament in Vegas. Wish me luck. ;)
  • Want to fit into my old jeans. hahhaha....right....
  • Want to go to Lagoon.
  • Want to get a car.
  • Want to get another job. 
  • Want to spend a few days at the cabin.
  • Want to spend a sober weekend in Vegas. 
  • Want to make new friends, keep old friends, and have fun!
  • Want to travel any chance I get. 
  • Want to have a brain transplant--or have my life be like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind...either way will work. Lets do this shit. I don't wanna be sad anymore. 
  • Want to try snowboarding--perhaps on the Wal-Mart bunny hill...
  • Get my 1 year chip in AA --- hope so! 
What do YOU wanna do in 2012? Do tell...
