        -New nephews (Ryder & Khyri), 

        -I survived the Accounting Junior Core,

        -Accepted into BYU's MAcc Program (Masters of Accountancy) and made it through a semester of that, 

        -Went on a flyout (first time on an airplane since 9th grade and first time flying and staying at a hotel by myself and riding in a taxi), 

        -Bought my first suit (which I hate wearing cuz it makes me feel like a man when I wear it),

        -Both my brothers got married (welcome to the fam Dannielle and Whitney),

        -2nd Annual California Trip with my mom,
