[don't stop believin' ; journey]

and the three coolest people.

we purchased 30 goldfish at the local wally world 

and pulled the best prank ever.

I love us.

I revived this blog from it's squalid condition.

[bye bye birdie ; ann margaret]

[find your way back home ; hannah montana]

I turned 15, 

and my band friends left me for disneyland.

my non marching band friends made it all better.

applied for nauvoo,

enjoyed [^and was stalked at^] band and orchestra concerts,

and reunited the club.

deciembre :

[say ; john mayer]

performed as jacob marley,
got denied from nauvoo,

went to the mall more than necessary,

was more excited for christmas

 than I have been in years,
read the entire book of mormon for the first time,

and ended the year closer to her friends than ever.
(literally)

(feel more than free to click to enlarge, it's worth a decent gander.)

and thus the best year of my life

[so far]

comes to a close.

2011, good luck.

[I have great expectations in you.]
