Since When Was Ten Years Ago 2004?

You know what's sad and depressing?

I can't even remember half of what happened in 2013.

A whole entire year, 365 days worth, went by and I can't recall very much of it.

That's just down right sad.

Maybe for 2014 I'll start a journal! Who am I kidding that'll last a day.

Anyways, I tried to remember what happened in 2013, and picked my favorite memories. These are just my top ten memories but there are many, many more. So if you care to know what they are, click the read more button below. Okay that sounds really lame so just pretend that never happened.



10. 5K's

I run about as fast as a snail and enjoy it about -20%. But this year I just so happened to run three 5K's and it was actually my choice! I know huge shocker!!! Two were Color Run's which is one of the greatest experiences, I highly recommend it, and the other was to raise money for my neighbor/teacher who had cancer. And who knows, maybe in 2014, I'll do even more! But don't get your hopes up.

9. Barenaked Ladies Concert

Oddly enough, this isn't a band of a bunch of naked ladies running around stage singing. Sorry boys but that'd be quite awkward... It's an all guy group and I went to their concert this summer with my family and another family. At the time of their concert I knew about three songs from their kids album; but this concert was an "adult concert" which means they weren't doing any of their songs from their kids album. So my friend Alexa and I didn't know any of the songs but it was still a party!


8. The Hungry Games

That's right, The Hungry Games. Not The Hunger Games. There's this magical theater called the Desert Star Playhouse where they make hilarious parodies of popular movies or books. Earlier this year I went to go see one of their parodies based of The Hobbit except I didn't understand half of the stuff because I've never see or read The Hobbit but it was still hilarious! So I went back later this year to see a parody of The Hunger Games called The Hungry Games. I can't remember laughing that hard in one night since the last time I went there. And what makes it even better is their amazingly wonderful popcorn and rootbeer floats. If you ever have the chance, go see one of their plays, you won't regret it!

7. ROPE SWING!

You know in the movie Grown Ups when whatever his name, goes off a rope swing and swings back to hit the tree? Yeah, well luckily that wasn't me!!! This year I finally got over my fear of the rope swing and I was like Tarzan swinging through the jungle!! And the whole reason my fear ever existed was because when I was younger I did the rope swing and completely belly flopped and let me tell you, that's the definition of true pain.



6. Ultimate Shaving Cream Fight

Shaving cream fights are so much better than a lame silly string fight. And this shaving cream fight wasn't planned. There was about ten girls over at my house for an end of the school year party and someone found a bottle of shaving cream. No one's exactly sure how or who started it but it was so much fun! We kinda attacked each other and were covered head to toe in shaving cream. But the real fight came when we had to rinse off in the ice cold hose and that was when the game of revenge began.


5. High School Tennis Team

This just about sums up the bus rides

First off I was so excited to make the team considering I only started playing tennis a year ago. But what made it even better was the fact that I made Junior Varsity! But the bus rides were a real party wether it was seeing how many people we could fit in one seat, making music videos, singing, the millions of Snapchats sent, attempting to do homework that doesn't get done and even trying to sleep. I had so much fun on the team and many more memories that I've sworn never to speak of. Shhhhh...


4. Spring Break

You had to go to each of the towers
& the maze continue in the back.

Normally for spring break we go camping which is fun and all but it's not all that exciting. But this year we went to Florida to visit my grandparents who own a condo in Panama City. Panama City has a beautiful beach that I was at all day, every day which caused me to get a major sun burn. Ouchies! But my favorite memory from this trip was when we went mini golfing and they had a maze next store. We thought, "Hey this will be so much fun, let's go!" And we were right about that. Except I was stuck inside for forty five minutes meanwhile my brother completed the maze in fifteen minutes. It wasn't only completely frustrating but also embarrassing. But I went back the next day and completed it in thirteen minutes which made me number one on the "Best Time" board.

3. My Last Year At Camp Daggett
My precious time at Camp Daggett as a camper has sadly come to an end. This past summer was definitely one of my best experiences at camp, we made so many memories that make me smile just thinking about them. But the greatest memory from this year was definitely our camp out. It all started when we were given the opportunity to do The Bear River Run. The Bear River Run in a canoeing trip down the bear river and campers haven't been able to do it in over twenty years.

We canoed to our campout spot which is about halfway down Walloon Lake and everything was going as planned until we were warned there was a huge storm headed our way. We watched the storm travel over the lake until the point when our boat started to run away and lightning was right above us. That's when we all had to go to our tents and not long after we were told the boys tent was flooding and they had to come into our tent. So we had twenty people smushed into a five person tent, that was... fun. Long story short we ended up having to get rescued from the camp site with the help of the camp directors. Let me add the rescuing occurred in pitch black, during a huge thunder storm. But the best part was before the rescuing when we were all standing around a huge bon-fire in the pouring rain singing We Are Young.

We still got to do The Bear River Run the next day which consisted of many spiders, mosquitos, canoeing and singing of songs. This was definitely one of the greatest days of my life. I'm sad I'm no longer a camper but I am more than excited that I get to go back this next summer as a Progie. And no I'm not turning into a Polish sausage.

2. Michael Bublé Concert

HAVE YOU HEARD HIS VOICE?!?!?! HE IS AN ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE!!! And let me tell you, he is one thousand times better live! And I'm in love with him and one day I will marry him, screw the age difference. Age is only a number, right? Okay Morgan that's a little obsessive, calm down! Anyways... my friend Madison and I went to his concert in November and it was the greatest night of my life! His face, *faints* his voice, *faints* his sense of humor, *laughs* (I know I tricked you on that one!)


1. Up On One Ski First Try!

So there's this thing called water skiing and basically you're on skis being pulled behind a boat and it's as if you're walking on water and it's tons of fun! The summer of 2012 I really really REALLY wanted to get up on one ski rather than just dropping one. Except I just couldn't get it! So this past summer I was more determined than Nemo was determined to touch that boat. And not only did I get up on one ski, but I got up my first try! I guess all that determination paid off!

I hope the few people who read this can remember more of 2013 than I did, it's kinda embarrassing how little I remember. But thanks to everyone who made all these memories & many others with me and I hope you #partyhard tonight. And 2014 is going to be great, I can already tell. So here's to 2014!
