Its time for the new year

So i was reading my friend nick's blog and he did a recap of his year month by month and i thought it was pretty sweet so i want to do it too!

here goes... 2008, a pretty monumental year for me!

January: moved to Las Vegas where i didn't know a single soul in the whole state and started student teaching at Foothill High Shool in Henderson. Started to realize I needed to take some control of my life and told Daniel not to talk to me for a while and took him out of my phone.

February: Got REALLY sick, but had to keep teaching everyday so I would still be able to graduate. Went to utah to visit family and friends instead of going to rexburg to ski (a hard choice to make but the right one in the end)

March: Spring break! Cass came and visited Vegas and we wore ourselves out completely. Cut my head open on the cupboard door. Went to California to spend some time with the Youngbergs and just get away and relax.

April: GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE! moved to my parent's house in middleton, let daniel get in my head again when he and all of my friends came for mine and devin's graduation party. Tried unsuccessfully to find a summer job.

May: Finsihed dealing with daniel for hopefully the last time. Grandma Youngberg turned 90 and a million people came and stayed with us to celebrate. Continued looking for a job and finally gave in and applied to a temp agency

June: Went on a must needed trip to Utah. Applied for teaching jobs in utah and had lots of interviews. ended up going to rexburg and then stopping for an interview in american falls. Accepted a FULL-TIME REAL LIFE job to teach high school math in american falls.

July: Went to McCall, Idaho for the first clark limb family reunion. started the most intense work-out regime of my life and loved it. still no job... more horrible tortourious temp jobs.

August: Moved to Pocatello and dealt with finding a new place to live after learning that the place i planned was a dump. STARTED TEACHING!

September: Got called to be a counselor in the relief society presidency of the best singles ward i have ever been in. Started my teaching blog. Realized i have some really good good friends in my life and got to hang out with some of them again after i hadn't in a long time.

October: Really busy teaching. Took my first day off of work and went to Utah for halloween to spend it with my bro, sister and her family, and my parents (last weekend of freedom until feb because of basketball)

November: Started coaching the freshman girls basketball team at my high school. made some really good friends that i think i'll have for a long time. went home for thanksgiving and as usual, came back at the end more tired than when i got there. Busier than i have ever been in my entire life.

December: Still coaching and realized how much i really do love what i do. My basketball team finally won a game. went home for christmas and had fun with family minus karissa and toby because they are in africa! went to washington to be there for nick and cassidy's wedding (saw daniel and made it through the weekend mostly ok) had fun playing with zeke all day every day while at home.


Dang, when you look at it that way i had a pretty good monumental year. Graduated, got a job, started my new life. I hope 2009 is even better. I am going to post some of my resolutions on here soon!
