Top 8 Memories of 2008

It has been such a long time since I have posted! I guess I've felt like there hasn't really been a reason to post things when nobody reads it but I am going to try to update this more regularly. Not just for the people who might see this, but because this is something I can look at since I haven't been good at keeping a journal lately! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to wrap up the year by talking about my favorite memories from this year!

8. Ashman Family Reunion 2008 - this was fun. We rented a cabin in Heber City and spent a few days just hanging out. There was a lot of karaoke and Rock Band. It was fun to take some time off of school and reconnect with the family.

7. West Yellowstone trip - a friend and I decided one day to just go to West Yellowstone. We drove up there and went to a restaurant that I had heard of and just walked around the town. It was fun to be spontaneous and just do whatever!

6. Late night photoshop - One night I had gotten locked out of my apartment and no one was answering the door. I knew that my roommate would be getting up early to go to work for custodial so my friend Caiti said she'd stay up late with me until my roommate woke up. We got bored and photoshopped ourselves into fun pictures like we were in Paris, Hawaii and stuff. The pictures looked so fake but it was so funny I laughed so hard.

5. Red button pushing - I work in the accounting office when I am at school and one day Heather (the girl I worked with) and we noticed that there was a red button under the desk. We were wondering what it was so we pushed it. I said haha I bet it's one of those panic buttons and a cop is going to come or something but I didn't think anything of it. We asked a guy who works with us what it was and he said I hope you didn't push it. And we asked why and then a police officer came running into our office! It was pretty funny.

4. Jeanene and Joanne visit me at school - Jeanene was visiting from Australia. She came up to see Joanne in Idaho Falls and they wanted to come up to Rexburg to see their old stomping grounds and to see me of course! We went to the bookstore and we walked around the MC for a little bit. It was so fun!

3. Geology class - I took a natural disasters class during the summer semester and it was so much fun! I learned so much about the earth and about the geology of Idaho. I was in the class with one of my best friends Caiti. I made a lot of friends in that class too and it was a class where I looked forward to going to it because of the people and all of the fun.

2. Mamma Mia - my Brother and Dad had a part time job where they would be gone all day on Wednesdays and on those days my Mom and I would use that time to get closer. One day we went and saw Mamma Mia and went to dinner. It was fun to spend time with her. I am so grateful to have her in my life. She is my very best friend and I don't know what I would do without her.

1. Temple dedication - The Rexburg temple was finally dedicated in February. It was so neat to be able to see the dedication and to be there when President Monson dedicated his first temple as a prophet. That temple is special to me because I've lived next to it and have watched it being built from the ground up.

2008 was a great year and I hope 2009 will be just as good or even better! Also a bonus memory: I saw Flavor Flav at the airport. Haha!
