Highlights of 2013


I'm basing this off pictures in my photo album, since I obviously can't remember things any other way.

So this happened.
Had to say goodbye to my first car,
but my daddy bought it for me, so it doesn't really count, right?
Plus, I never even named it.


So I got Cinderella


I struggled with school...hard. Radiology and A&P <3 p="">


Untypical Valentines Day from my untypical BF.


I quit Krispy Kreme and took a managing position back at the swirl...


and then forever hated kiwis


and I still hate horses.


I finally gave into One Direction (Liam...sigh).


I saw Tyler!!!!! (Completely different types of music, I know.)


I saw axolotls for real for the first time ever,


and was a river queen at both Jemez & Bandelier.


My brother got a red eared slider (his name is Melvin)


Went to CA & hung out with my bitches at Disneyland,


saw Marina in concert,


hung out with my mommy & sister for mother's day,


went the the beach & drank wine on my uncle's boat (made me feel rich for a day),


Alyssa & I modeled our twin Jettas,


then on the way back we were stranded in Flagstaff for 8 or so hours,
and the clock stroke 12 for Cinderella (haha get it)


Hello Figaro!!!!!!!!
My first new new


Started my clinical hours at emergency hospital
and got my first battle scar & placed my first catheter.


Alex and I rented a cute lil apartment on the westside.


Angelo started getting sick :(


Confirmed my first positive fecals!!
Disclaimer: not from Angelo if that's what you're thinkin'.

Strongylus spp.
Taenia spp.
I hung out in the woods & saw some muhfrickin meteors,


and my future sister-in-law & brother-in-law got married.


I took Murphy back home to California...


and while I was there I thought, might as well go to the beach again


as well as Whimsicalley


and Roscoe's in LA!!


I came home (safely this time) and started my clinical hours at an exotic practice.
I was lucky enough to see some sulcata tortoises before hibernation.


I drew blood from Angelo for the first time....


My birthday present at the NM state fair after coming out to Alex about my cotton candy obsession.
Backstory: I never told him about it because when we were just friends hanging out, he told me he thought cotton candy was stupid, "you're paying for spun sugar!!" so to impress him I pretended I thought cotton candy was dumb as hell too. 
Moral: don't give up cotton candy to impress your cynical boyfriend.


It was time to say goodbye to Angelo (5/21/01-9/28/13) 


but I was able to channel my grief into these little ones.
LR: Daisy, Luigi, Toad


I grew especially attached to Toad


and he kept getting bigger,


and bigger,


and biggerrrr.


THEY GOT SO BIG.


Eventually they had to say goodbye to each other and part ways with their adopted parents.


Toad stayed with me :-)


He's best friends with Zelda while Bridgette sulks in the corner.


Do you wanna build a snowmaaaaan?

my first (kinda) snowman

Come on let's go and plaaaay.

my first snowangel

I became obsessed with Frozen, obviously.


Christmas sucked, because I wasn't able to get hardly anyone anything,
but friends and family understood and I'm thankful for them.
They still got me some cool shit,




I still got to see my cute lil family.


Anyways, this is how I'm gonna spend the rest of the year.


I had to pause and cry multiple times while making this. Even though I still consider this year one of the most terrible of my life, with the worst part being losing Angelo, my best friend for 12 years, there were a lot of good times and a lot of adventures I'm glad I went on. I don't believe in new years resolutions, I believe if you want to do something you shouldn't wait until the new year to start doing it. But I hope 2014 turns out to be way better than this year.
