And just like that, we’re at the end of 2014. Super clichΓ©, but I don’t know how it went by so fast.
After going back and reading last year’s post I’m amazed at how much I forgot! That’s the reason I like to write these posts – it’s a place for me to go back to in years and remember!
I remember wondering how it would be possible to have a better year than 2013, but I think I proved myself wrong. Lots of events this year!
January
I turned 15.
The blog turned one and I hosted my first giveaway! It’s crazy to think I’m coming up on two years blogging.
Apparently I also posted New Year’s Resolutions. Maybe I’ll do another post on those and new ones this year!
And I had a very fun Snowcoming Week and dance.
February
I got a dSLR camera!
We started hosting brunch every month.
I finished my JV basketball season.
March
I went to Lansing for Youth in Government.
Mom and I gave up meat for Lent!
April
I posted about letting the people I know in real life finding out about my blog. Now I can’t imagine having to hide it!
And I did the Accent Vlog!
May
I went to Prom!
I went to a fun Geocaching event.
I did the Cold Water Challenge.

I had a fun Memorial Day Weekend!

I lived at Grandma and Grandpa’s for a month while we waited to get into our new house.
I changed my blog name from Minougirl to The Yooper Girl!
I went to Women in Engineering camp for a week at Michigan Tech!
I got a new PR in the road race!
I planted my garden and made rye bread with Kelvin. (still need to write my full garden post!)
July
I ran in the Firecracker 5 Mile (and PR’d!) and marched in the parade.
I moved into my new house and spent lots of time at the water!
I went blueberry picking!
I got a job at my favorite pizza place ever.
And I went to basketball camp and jumped off a (small) cliff!
August
The family and I drove to Utah! Recaps here, here, and here!
I got a Vitamix!
September
I started sophomore year.
I had a super fun Homecoming week!
And I had everyone over for dinner before the dance!
October
I won UP Finals!
And I went to my first quiz bowl game! I’m an alternate. lol π
November
I got a Mac!
I had a lovely Thanksgiving with family.
December
I played in my first varsity basketball game.
I had a wonderful Christmas!
It really was a great year and I hope that 2015 will bring just as much joy! I’ve been thinking about becoming a mostly recipe-based blog, but after writing this it’s nice to have posts about things that happened in my life rather than just recipes.
I hope that everyone has a blessed New Year and I thank every single one of you for reading my blog. Cheers to 2015!
