11 in 11

2011 was very eventful. You wouldn't know if you read my blog though...here's an update of my life in 2011. I didn't think this post would be this much effort. Oh well, enjoy! (There are a lot of movies involved in this post. You don't have to watch any of them, but if you have some time to kill...)

11. Favorite movie you watched


I cried during both.


10. New Favorite TV series


Zombies? Yes please!


9. Favorite restaurant you tried
La Jolla Groves in Provo. It was delish! If you go, try their lemon cake. It's tasty and pretty! Here's a picture:


8. Favorite new thing you tried


And I LOVE it!
(each letter is a video)


7. Favorite gift you got


A new classroom! I thought it would take FOREVER like it did in 2010, but I was so exciting to get my new job in June. This is my room I got in August. It looks different now (stuff on walls, messier, no boxes in the back), but I still love it. Annnndddd it comes with it's own bulletin board in the hallway and cute kids to fill it.

6. Fun vacation:

Bear Lake-July: Raspberry shakes, tandem bike, mini-golf, volleyball, gross but pretty lake, FIREWORKS!, great times with my family.

Vegas-June: Gross pollution, pretty casinos, fun sites, long but entertaining drive, Las Vegas Temple, "I seeeeee Londooonnn I seeeee Saaamssstownnn", awesome fun with friends



5. Fun concerts

I didn't go to as many as I did in 2010, but I did take advantage of the great Rooftop Concert Series in Provo this summer. (clicking on the pictures will give a you video of concert highlights. Just sayin'. Also, I wish I could take good pictures, but I can't. So I got all these pictures from this blog.)


Fictionist I've heard of Fictionist before, but after this concert I fell in love with them. They performed during their Rolling Stone Cover contest. We all yelled "put Fictionist on the cover of Rolling Stone!" while they filmed. This was a super fun concert. I went with my friend and we were all wired afterward. It was a good summer concert kick-off.

The Abbey Road Show This was my favorite one! Basically it was a bunch of local artists who got together and performed the Beatles Abbey Road album. I love the Beatles so I totally loved this. It was amazing. And they performed my favorite song at the end (click picture, 2nd song) with fireworks. 2 of my favorite things.

Joshua James Um, I went. I watched. I fell in love with his voice. His song "Coal War" is one of my favorites.

Imagine Dragons I went to this concert with 3 of my lovely cousins. Even if it was supposed to Neon Trees, I still had a blast. This was the craziest rooftop concert I've seen so far (moshing, lead singer crowd surfed) My favorite part of this concert though was the opening act The Neighbors. I had to buy their cd after they performed.


The Lower Lights So I don't have a video from this concert from this one, so I linked to their show last year. The weather turned bad so we had to move inside the parking garage. It was still an amazing show. I can't wait for their new cd to come out.


A few weeks ago, I went to the Lower Lights Christmas concert. Again, it was amazing.

So as you can see, my concert going experience was positive. Maybe annoyingly positive? Oh well.

4. Best accomplishment
2 things:
1. I bought a car. Well, technically I bought it December 31 2010. It's silver and pretty. I felt like a real grown up signing the papers and signing up for insurance and all that goodness.
2. I moved to Salt Lake to a cute house. I love it!

3. Favorite picture
