2010

Where to begin with 2010? Ehh lets just say this year wasn't my year...but I sure am still as thankful as ever. I guess you could say this year ended with a goodbye to my home of 12 years -California. January was filled with last minute hang outs, packing, and many tears as I got ready for an 18 hour drive to my new home Seattle. I haven't been back since, and I'm not going to lie...there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss it. You think I'd be use to moving by now since I move back and fourth to Alaska every summer. But nope. It was definitely the hardest thing I've had to go through. The bright side I suppose? I got to start over! New school, new friends, new house! A short 4 months later summer came along, and like every summer of course I spent it working in Alaska. It consisted of hanging with the coworkers, random family parties, and hiking adventures! Twas a pretty alright summer if I do say so myself. From August on out, Seattle hasn't been THAT bad. I learned to enjoy my classes at Bellevue, found some pretty cool new friends, and have really enjoyed that most of my family lives so close to me now.

Two highlights of the end of my year: Most definitely my trip to New York to visit Erica in November :) It was my first time traveling alone as well as being on the east coast! It was only a short amount of time but maaan I love NY! Too many laughs during that trip, it was like we hung out yesterday. My other highlight was my cousin Sandras wedding. So much preparation had the whole family together 24/7 ! Everyone was in and out of our house, family flew in, random decoration trips. It was insane yet so fun at the same time.

December 27...sad to say I can't believe Christmas is already over :( What saddens me is not the fact Christmas is over, but the fact that the whole world won't be celebrating Our Savior with us anymore. ‎"Christmas for the nonbeliever is to feel for one day what the Christian feels everyday." -Greg Laurie. This quote is so true. For the Christian it feels like Christmas everyday because we have that joy and "feeling" inside of us - the Holy Spirit! We are happy that Christ came to give us that ultimate gift and celebrate together each time we study his Word!

I'm surprisingly looking forward to 2011. This is going to be my year :) I've adjusted to Seattle. Community groups start in Jan. I'm planning on transferring schools next quarter. Maybe a trip to Cali spring break. Vegas in April for a karate tourny. & I'LL BE TURNING 21!!!

Lets see what God has planned for me this year, I'm ready.
