Happy New Year!

Well, I stink at updating.. I apologize. So, 2009 is over. Where the heck did that year go? It was a great year, I'd say. Well, other than having to leave Honduras because of a political crisis and having the swine flu.. bah. What's not normal about that? So here's the year in a nut shell:
- God taught me how to trust him through the tough times.
- I grew closer to many friends.
- I lost contact with a few people (sad, but true).
- I played Varsity basketball at WCCS and loved every minute of it!
- I attended WCCS and actually semi-enjoyed school. Crazy, I know.
- I traveled to many places this year: Honduras, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Hilton Head, Pensacola, Bob Jones University (Baptist Communist College), Pigeon Forge, and many more places.
- I was able to serve in the country of Honduras for three and a half weeks.
- I had to leave Honduras due to a political crisis.
- I attempted to raise a baby bird named Stanley. He survived two days with me.. Fail.
- I went to Banquet and had a blast.
- My grandparents moved to our town, which is such a blessing. God is so good.
- I counseled at Camp Manatawny.
- I went to Pitman, New Jersey on a mission trip.
- I became obsessed with One Tree Hill. Do not judge me.
- I was the Libero Tracker for WCCS Varsity volleyball. Doesn't that sound awesome?
- I was honored to be in my very special friend, Donna's, wedding when she married Mr. Brian in November!
- My best friend moved back here to go to school, but Samalina decided to move back to Honduras in December. Jealous!
- I went to cool things like God's Girls and Awaken Student Conference.
- I was on Homecoming Court. Yay for getting to dress up.
- I went to Mountainer Christian Youth Camp for my thirteenth year. I just can't get enough of that place.
- I celebrated Thanksgiving in August and Independence Day on New Year's Eve.
- I goofed off, laughed a lot and made a fool of myself.
- I made a ton of mistakes, but few regrets.
- I learned a lot of life lessons.

What am I looking forward to in 2010?
- Hopefully winning basketball states! Whether we do that or not, enjoying my last season of basketball.
- Turning 18. Then, I can buy cigarettes and porn, play the lottery, and vote! Don't worry.. I won't be doing the first three. ;)
- I'll be graduating on May 21st. Hard to believe.
- Leading another team to Honduras and staying for an extended period.
- Counseling at Camp Manatawny.
- Starting college at ?? (I'll update about that soon)
- Living life to the fullest and enjoying time with friends and family.
- Growing more into the person God created me to be.

So long 2009. Let's get the 2010 party started!

May God bless this year for you and your family.
