A Decade in Review

So you know how, at the end of the year, or decade, lots of newspapers and such post "The Best ... of the Decade/Year", I thought it would be neat to do one of those. So here I go.

10 Biggest Events of the Decade (in my life) that I am not soon to forget (Not necessarily in any particular order):

1. Moving to China

2. My Aunt Janice and Grandpa Alan passed away

3. I started middle school, 2 high schools and college.

4. I some how made it into BYU

5. I finally decided what I want to be when I "grow up" (this is the one question you are asked your whole life, so finally deciding is pretty exciting!)

6. I got to visit New Zealand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and lots of places in China.

7. I took a tour of the East Coast

8. I started babysitting and nannying, which spurred a life-long love of kids =]

9. I got to visit Hawaii

10. September 11: I was luckily not affected directly, but it is one world-wide even that I won't soon forget.

Top World Events that stick out in my mind:

-September 11

-Fighting in Xin Jiang, China (this is really significant to me because I visited here before the most recent fighting, and it was my favorite trip)

-Disappearance/Murder of Laci Peterson

-Kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart (and her subsequent finding)

-Disappearance of Susan Powell

-Crash of AirFrance Flight 447 that disappeared over the ocean

-Tsunami in Southeast Asia

-Hurricanes that devastated the South

Top Movies I have seen (and this probably isn't a comprehensive list since I've seen so many!)

-Angels and Demons

-Twilight/New Moon

-Poseidon

-The Secret Life of Bees

-Enchanted

-Juno

-(I know there are more!)

Ok. I'm going to stop here and think more, and come up with more lists =]
