2017. What a year. This past year has been the best year of my entire life and literally the FASTEST ever. It had to have been one of the hardest for me but my favorite. Kinda stressful to think about but it was so amazing and I really can't believe another year has gone by. One of the reasons I have this blog is to recap different parts of my life, so that is what I will be doing today! Recapping this fourteenth year of my life. Here are some things that made 2017 such a memorable year.....Prepare yourself now this is a bit of a long one.

- Golden Birthday Starting off the year in January was my golden birthday; I turned 14 on January 14th!!!

- Track season (January - May) was AMAZING: so many good memories and the most successful season of my running career yet!

Day long track meet set up

I LOVE MY TRACK FAMILY!!!! <3

At the end of season: 1600m: 5:28, 800m: 2:24, 400m:1:05

During track season my secret talent was discovered: water bottle flipping!!

And...this happened!!!

- Learning to solve the rubix cube Also during track season, one of my best buds taught me how to solve the rubix cube!!!!!

it took forever but I did it! and fun fact: I flipped the bottle like that^ and first solved the rubixs cube on the same day!

- Babysitting This past spring something crazy happened...parents trusted me to watch their children!! Woah, shocker right?! Just kidding, of course. Along with babysitting on my own, my sister and I were hired to watch a group of kids every Monday while their moms had a bible study. It was a bit of a drive so we got to spend lots of time together---super fun!

Lotsa car time!

Spring Break -

This past spring break was so fun!! Obviously, why else would I mention it LOL.

I tried to go sugar free (that failed), I went to the strawberry festival, had a photoshoot, spent some time in Walmart (America's playground), and made one of my best videos of all time. #prancersise

Fun times!

-Moving News Shorty after spring break, in March, we found out we were definitely moving to New Jersey. We told some of our bestest friends the same night we found out, after a great night seeing Home Free at the Straz Center!! This was a bit difficult cause they thought we were joking lol

Several days after this, we told our team the news. This was very hard. I'll never ever forget it. That night however, to cheer up, my sisters and I went out to Jeremiah's, an Italian ice place, with some of our teammates!

- Track States My next highlight was in May when, making team history, our 4x800 team made it on to states!!!! At states, we placed 7th! BEST 4x800 TEAM EVER <3

The next week something crazy happened. Probably one of my favorite days of the entire year. I ran middle school states and then had my sisters high school graduation an hour and a half away. We made it to the church in the nick of time and got ready in the church bathroom in 15 minutes LOL

- Sumo suit The highlight of my entire year was this. On June 11th, a LEGEND was born.

AHHHHHhhh my team mates bought me a SUMO SUIT and gave it to me at my last practice. I am still BEYOND THRILLED.

- Dunedin Rotary Sprint Triathlon. The day before I moved, I did a sprint triathlon with two of my best friends. This was super fun but also super sad, cause I had been looking forward to it for a while and knew that afterwards I'd have to say goodbye and that the move was there.

I was super nervous and woke up to two encouraging notes from my sister and close friend that spent the night! <3

Tri sky

Ma best buds

bike transition

And then, the hardest goodbyes of my life. The day came when it was time to say see ya later Florida. There's no need to elaborate on this. :)

- A new adventure begun!

- Fourth of July!! When I was younger we used to do the same thing every year so it was fun to be back to doing the traditions!

- The start of my YouTube channel

- Moving into our new house and painting my room! A few days after we moved into our house my Dad and Sister helped me paint my room. The color was so obnoxious that the next day I repainted my room on my own. Three hours straight baby.

- Friend Visit Later in July one of my best friends from Florida came to visit me!!! We went to the beach, a cute coffee shop, went kayaking and had a lot of fun!

- Roadtrip with Mom and older sister At the end of August my Mom, older sister, and I took a trip to Conneticut for a few days and then Vermont for a few days to tour the University of Vermont

Biggest bowl of soup i've ever had and best ^

- New school group and new & old friends In September I started in a new school group and I LOVE IT. When we first moved making new friends kinda scared me but I honestly have met the best people! I've became friends again with people I knew when I was younger and have had so much fun making new friends!

- Thanksgiving visit from best friends Our friends from Florida visited for Thanksgiving and we had the BEST TIME. We took tons of pictures, went to Philadelphia, went to the mall IDEK what else it's all a blur now!
