What?

It's Monday and I am sitting here listening to Pandora. Can I say I love WiTopia and the ability to make it look like we are in the US so we can use xfinity and pandora and other really cool things.
It's days like this when I realize how many first class problems I have. Like the printer not working. I doubt half the kids in Peru even know what a printer is. 

Anyways, this didn't really have a purpose. I've been spending some time volunteering. Check it out at my other blog. justdarcie-inperu.blogspot.com

Peace,

Twenty-Fourteen

So it's Twenty-Fourteen. Actually it's Twenty one days into Twenty-Fourteen.

Here are my highlights of 2013:

 

I graduated from Highschool. It only took three of 'em!

 

 

I graduated from Seminary. The graduation was kind of awkward, but oh well.

 

 

(This was technically at the end of 2012 but whatever)

I saw the Nutcracker for the first time in my life. It was as amazing as I imagined it to be.

 

I celebrated my 18th birthday with my dearest friend and cousin Heidi.

She turned 17 two days before so we celebrated her birthday too.

 

We moved to Lima Peru.

 

It was a HUGE change, despite living in Arequipa before.

 

We went to Orlando, Florida.

 

I saw the Blue Man Group. It was my second time and I loved it,

 I got a t-shirt out of it and some wonderful memories.

 

We did Universal studious for the first time ever. (:

 

 

I got to talk to Zachary twice on skype, on Mothers day and Christmas.

He comes home in September.

As it is now 2014 I thought I should write the 14 things I am most excited for this new year:

• University. Well.. being accepted to a university.  I have a few choices in mind and am looking forward to starting next January.


• Volunteering. I would really like to do something that profits others instead of myself before starting college and getting caught up in the world.


• Friends. I would love to see friends from Canada this year, but I am also looking forward to making new friends. I've already made a few in Peru that I think will still around, so... should be easy, right?


• Writing. I will finish my Macy Celeste story.


• Health. This year I want to be better about myself. Better learn now than when I am 40 and miserable.


• Becoming closer to God. I want to improve my relationship with God.


• Traveling. I hope to see Machu Pichu while living here, and I would also love to visit Lake Titicaca (the floating islands) and see that village on top of the mountain.


• Reading. I want to finish reading all of Jane Austen's novels as well as the rest of my reading list. Which I will get to in a minute.


• Girls night. Cousins only. Its been 6 months since I have seen my gorgeous cousin and I miss her so much, she is my best friend! I have a LONG list of fun things we are going to do this summer. It'll be awesome.


• Sugar Cookie Day. Did you know there is a national sugar cookie day? I found out last month and so, I will be celebrating it this year. It's July 9th so mark it on your calendar.


• Journal. I WILL keep up my journal writing this year.


• Hair cut. I've decided, and I have been thinking this for a while, that I need bangs. So this year when I get a hair cut (waiting for Utah, so like 6ish months) I will not be indecisive.


• New glasses. And contacts. Lets face it- I NEED new glasses, and this year I've decided that contacts would be great too. Yep, a whole new me (again- waiting for Utah)


• Utah. I've mentioned it a few times now- I can't wait to go visit Utah in the Summer. I want to see all my family and sleep in my own bed. Plus I accidently left two pairs of shoes there and would like them back.  My room *sigh* I can just imagine how I left it. I want to see all my things that I left there.

Happy Twenty-Fourteen everyone! Sorry it's twenty one days late!
