homecoming asking, corsage, and pictures: went with Jake Ivan, BYU for the day-date-way fun, savenger hunt, Luau for dinner, football group, dance super fun! Despicable me afterwards. 

a to do list: from the day of the homecoming day, a super busy day with a XC race, the tailgate party, the game, and the movie party afterward. i happened to have my grandpa's minivan at the time.. because my car had been crashed into a parked car. 

calendar pages from the beginning of the year. filled with work, cross country, and weekend hangouts.

a pay stub: because i worked at kneaders until March. it was a lovely job most of the time. just stressful trying to get time off.  

Keven's response to Sadie's: i asked him last minute, and i'm so happy i ended up going with him. we carved pumpkins. went to pizza pie. and dressed up as ping pong players. planning was terribly stressful, we might've hated each other temporarily. our group was a little bit random, but fun nonetheless. we watched karate kid and i wanted to hold his hand. 

Stake Youth Commitee agenda: being on it and becoming Co-Chairman.

Race tags/numbers: cross country runs, with rache, lins, nicole, & kyndal. running varsity. absolutely hating the actual races. taco amigo and liking that boy. The run up to the waterfall and pond with Taryn. Extra trail run.

Ryan's response and the corsage: when I asked him Preference. once again extremely stressful planning, we went ice skating, to pizza factory, and had a real good time.
mini sparkling cider bottle: i swallowed a goldfish at Maddie's after her Christmas party.
student council pictures: being junior class officer was an absolute blast. we did some incredible things despite our unproductivity. i did lots of chemistry during B3.
memory card from New Years: I started 2013 off with a kiss.
A Valentine's Card: one because Keven is one of the greatest kids I've known. and the second from the roses Maddie gave me, because she's the sweetest best friend and this year without here wouldn't have been nearly as good.
A starburst wrapper and Corsage: from Jake Wilson asking me to sweethearts. our friendship from the beginning of 9th grade was finally rekindled and we're once again the best of friends. i like it.
Missionary Month tag: because i think missionary month is the worst, i will go on a mission though, and almost every single one of my guy friends now have their calls. wednesday nights were often spent at call openings.
Zion's trail map: from the trip we took before Aaron left on his mission. such an incredibly fun, rainy, muddy, vacation.

Zupas receipt: from the night of elections stomp. The night I became PG's student body president.
pink color swatches: impossibly attempting to match the color of the dress i was going to wear to prom. the one i really really really did not want to have to wear.
a fish bookmark: someone in Berrett's class gave it to me, and i told them it'd go in the memory box. probably mitch? It was the best class, and he told us the most inspiring stories.
Mr Viking program, and Miss PG ticket stub: because they were both incredible and hilarious.
mac lipstick box: i developed a lipstick obsession, Maddie and I would look for excuses to buy it.

General Young Women Conference Ticket: i spent that whole day with Rachel McDonald, one of the best friends I could ever ask for. We've had soo many good times since 7th grade.
A note from Jess: because she is my absolute best friend and other half and that's all there is to it.
Peter Pan program: the night we went to the play when we could've been tumbling with Kolby and friends. but I think it all worked out right anyway.

the two-piece stuck together wummi-gum: one of thee funniest nights i can remember. Rache and Jess are great friends. we're probably the dumbest, yet i love them soo much. Mike was there too. He's great.
a note we wrote: the day after the first of three suicides, Syd's, the school that day was the most depressing atmosphere i've ever experienced.
Brendan's fake bill from Election Week: election week- 'nuff said. It was crazy, my gray team was absolutely incredible, we had the best times, our waffle and pizza party and skit practices, having to redo my completely glittered poster. hanging out on the football field instead of going to the stomp.
the red wrist-band: from a swing dancing date with Jake, Maddie, and Hayden. So much fun!
Iron Man ticket stub: from the first date with Ty. (:
Prom Corsage: Everything we went through planning Prom, and all of it working out SO well. Going with Tyler, absolutely no one I'd have rather gone with.

Watching High School Musical afterwards... all of it so extremely imperfectly perfect.
