Learn how to drive a stick shift car

"Chug...chug...chug...boom! Whip-lash! Giggling! Cardiac arrest (or what seemed like it)! Rebecca Ross was the brave soul that allowed me to drive her car and taught me how to drive a standard! I was a nervous wreck and she was calm and patient. We chugged-a-chug-chugged along Bates Road several times as I practiced. Ok, it was not that dramatic, but my heart sure was pounding! I didn't kill it until I tried to park, several minutes after driving around and shifting. And I only killed it a few times. =) Now no one at work can make fun of me, because I now know how to drive a stick shift vehicle!!! THANK YOU BECCA!

Sew a Patch Quilt

I bought the fabric in the Summer of 2008. I'm surprised it didn't get mold or cobwebs because it sat in the closet for 2 years, untouched. Finally, I returned home from my first year of college at BYU, and set a goal to finish the quilt during the summer! After hours of dedication, my mom cutting the fabric, and my own on sewing, the quilt was completed the day I went back down to Provo. It was a close call, but it is DONE!!! :) Now it gets to wait patiently in my hope chest or "truso", as my mother would call it, until the day I get married and have a house and husband of my own.

Bike a "marathon"

Not only did I bike 28 miles, but I biked 28 miles with Al Young, who has biked all over the world. She went on The Odyssey, which is a year long bike trip, biking on 6 of the 7 continents! As we biked to work, she would tell me all about her adventures. She also wrote and published a book about her travels. Al is one amazing woman, and she got me into biking! (P.S. This picture is not of me, haha!) =)

Hike Table Rock

I made it to the top!!!! We left at 5:30 am and returned at about 4:00pm! A group of the 4th Year hikers at Girl's Camp made the journey!
