In the past decade...

I recently volunteered to take over the planning of my 10-year high school reunion. For a graduating class of 44 people, that is not any exceptionally difficult task, and we all know how I love party planning! Getting in touch with all these people after so long has been very interesting. There is this little tiny part of me that wishes I had a family to show off too. But most of me is just so happy to have done so many amazing things!

Since I graduated from Kitscoty High School (yep, that's me back in 2000), I have:

• had 8 different full-time jobs
• performed in 4 stage productions
• fallen in love four times and had my heart broken just as many
• visited 10 countries; 3 by myself
• gone to Disneyland, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris about a billion times
• learned fluent French
• welcomed 2 more nephews into the world
• played bridesmaid 3 times; twice in pink!

• served a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
• explored 15 states
• put my feet in 7 major bodies of water: the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean sea, the Adriatic sea, the North sea, and the Dead sea.
• cut my hair super short twice, and donated it to Locks of Love
• dressed as Tinker Bell for Halloween 3 times
• appeared in a press photo and on Quebecois TV riding a Segway at Disney World
