I ran my first 5k midnight run.



I purchased an 8 week old pup.



I went to girls camp, not as a youth.



I put red in my hair.



I burned a textbook!



I purchased an expensive camera.



I said "see you in two years" to my little brother.

Happier and hopefully nicer, I'm hoping one day to be richer but I'm happy for now.

What do you wish you had done more of?

Procrastinating.

Besides workout clothes, I occasionally wear jeans and a normal shirt.  Next year my goal is to be more fashionable :)



What kept you sane this year?
Faith. It always keeps me going knowing that things will be okay and turn out how they are supposed to. It's normally one thing after the other so if I didn't trust that it'd be okay, I probably wouldn't be okay.

Lance also helped in this area.  He has been the one to deal with my insanity during the semesters.

Stefan....oh I meant, Paul Wesley

Hello there sexy!
Who did you miss this year?
Jake.

Who were the best new people you met this year?
Lets go with Amanda and her cute family.

Also, Reagan Amy Fischer and Harrison Mathias Fischer!
And Jenna.. I met her long before, but this year I've really gotten to know her :)

What is a valuable lesson you learned this year?

I've learned many lessons this year and sure I will just keep learning more.
I know that everything happens for a reason, and the Lord knows exactly what he's doing. You can't control life, you can only live it. You cannot appreciate the good in life without having the bad. Happiness is a choice. Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head. The truth always comes out, so you might as well start with it from the beginning. And, people are gonna talk, so give them something to talk about.



An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie.
Change your thoughts, change your world.



Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
