2008
So 2008 has been an interesting year for sure and one that has held a lot of ups and downs. I'm neither happy nor sad to see it go, just hopeful about what 2009 holds. Lets see, in the last year some highlights that stick out...
I saw my favorite band in concert.
I laughed so hard I cried.
I took a chance and even though it wasn't how I thought it would be... I still took a chance.
I finally had the opportunity to meet someone that I admire so much and whose books have changed my view on poverty and my faith.
I made a decision to get healthier and happier and as a result have lost over 60 pounds. woohoo!
I graduated from seminary with my masters degree in Christian Education... something I never thought I would do and was able to share that moment with some of my best friends.
I totally went to the New Kids on the Block reunion show.
I did karaoke for the first time...and last. :)
I sat under the stars, in the beautiful New Mexico mountains and celebrated Christmas with my Fuge family, in July.
I stood by two of my closest friends and watched them marry the loves of their lives.
I reinacted the Wilson Philips "Hold On" video too many times to count.
I loved until it hurt and then loved some more.
I learned to be content in the stillness.
I had 2 kidney stones but enjoyed endless amounts of laughter (post-morphine) at the ER with old and new friends... oh the hotness that is Dr. Pierce.
I decided cranberry juice isnt so bad afterall.
I worried about one of my best friends deployed to Iraq and was constantly amazed by her strength.
I played lame games with my friends and had a great time.
I got lots of hugs and kisses from my favorite little kiddo that always warmed my heart.
I trust fell 8 times into the arms of almost complete strangers AND only cried one of those times.
I was blessed to lead a handful of students to salvation.
I cried with a friend over life's disappointments.
I stepped out and tried something new and scary.
I've missed people.
I got to hangout with OneRepbulic and that was pretty stinkin sweet.
I turned 26 and only let it depress me for a day or two.
I discovered new bands and musicians that make my days happier.
I started a blog and started writing more.
I chopped off my hair.
I put my trust in someone in a way I had never done before.
I learned how to play rockband and it changed my life. :)
I drove from Texas to Virginia in my sweet Honda accord.
I lived in beautiful Glorieta, New Mexico for two months.
I saw a bear... or two.
I moved back home after being gone for 3 years.
I met new friends who have made this transition back home much easier.
I decided that a relocation to Nashville needs to happen asap.
I made friends that have forever changed my life and were such a blessing to me this past summer.
I was given a freelance writing contract... insane.
I read more books than I thought was humanly possible in a 5 month span.
I even went to the Dr. Pepper museum. :)
I did a lot this last year and even though it's all kind of a blur, 2008 will definitely be a year that I'll never forget. Now on to 2009!
