2009 is done.

this is always a weird time of year for me. we've just had christmas, my birthday is a few short days away and it's new years eve. i've never done anything that exciting on new years eve. i don't know if i can honestly say i've ever even been to a new years eve party? have i? no idea. and though it's horrifying to some (mainly my friend bethany, i don't think of new years eve as a holiday... i've always thought it academic years rather than actual years.)



looking back of 2009 i search for highlights of the year...



graduating, finally with my BA

remodeling my kitchen, finally

working at starbucks, and learning about coffee - it didn't last long but i'm very happy i got to experience it

being at a job for more than one year - that's new for me!

e moving back to town (was that technically 2008?)

nic getting married

spending time with libby (and aunt l and U)

seeing my sis more

georgous sunny mountain christmas

weekly massages and developing a relationship with shannon

having benefits again

seeing late tuesday all together live in seattle.

leading a d group and creating a senior project from it

becoming closer with some friends

growing my hair long, dying it dark and chopping it off



lowlights



still a messy girl

not consistently taking my meds and messing myself up

failing with money once again

being done with the inn

failing at working out consistently

doubting myself in relationships

not getting to see cindy very much

miss still not behaving like i'd like (my fault)





what do i want from this next year? what are my continued hopes, dreams and prayers?



I'm praying for grad school admission.

I'm praying for dedication to work out schedules and dealing with my stress.

I'm praying for patience in the plan Christ has for my life.

Oh and a puppy to be miss' friend! :)
