Happy New Years Eve.
2010 went by fast! Holy moley. But there were some absolutely fantastic memories along the way. Maybe if I keep this blog up for the rest of my life (yea right) and write down what happened each year...I'll actually be able to remember. I've started watching re-runs of How I Met Your Mother which I can't help but die laughing at every time I watch. It's narrated by a guy (Ted) who's telling his kids the story of how he met their mother. But let's face it, the shows been going on for about 5 years and he still hasn't revealed which character their mother is! (See?? totally sucks you in) Anyways, he specifically remembers what happened each year, and even can correct himself if he mixes the years up. How he does it is beyond me. YES I KNOW THIS IS JUST A SITCOM! Maybe he had a blog?
Lifegroup
A year ago exactly I was joining in on Wes and Sarah's lifegroup. This meant leaving the freshmen one I was leading with Kaitlyn and Kyle and walking into one I had never been to before that also contained mostly male members. AND the majority of the people were older than me. I was TERRIFIED. I didn't know anyone except Wes and Sarah, how was I going to bond with all these KOTs? And what right did I have to lead people older than me? Lord, what were you doing? Words cannot express my nerves on the night of that first lifegroup.
But He clearly had a plan much greater than my own and knew what He
was doing. This lifegroup has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I'm so proud to call it my own. These people have become my family. I have watched them grow and their passion for Jesus soar! God is doing crazy awesome things in them. My lifegroup has a passion for reaching people in Greek life, obedient and servant-like hearts, and are full of hunger to learnmore about the person of Jesus. It is so challenging to live life with them! (and in the best way!) Around April, we picked up another co-leader, Allen and it is SUCH a joy to lead with him. What a humble man of God! 2011 is going to be another huge year for our lifegroup.
Weddings (And engagements!)
It's been forever since I had been to a wedding but this year, I attended two. I know that doesn't seem like a lot, especially in comparison to what 2011, 2012, 2013...etc. will be like. But what I realized is how much FUN weddings are!
I'm so excited for the next few years of everyone around me getting married! It's like a giant party for all your closest friends! Dustin and Babs' wedding was one of my favorite parts of 2010. I loved getting a chance to see them go from just friends to dating to engagement to MARRIAGE! It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen to watch the exchange vows. I'm beyond excited for them still!
Getting to take pictures and film Kelsi and Jake's engagement was amazing. It was so sweet to get to witness the proposal!
My 20th Birthday
two words: Elite Eight. My mom had come up for the weekend to surprise me! After Olive Garden with my best friends and seeing How To Train Your Dragon, we all decided to impulsively buy tickets to the Elite Eight game in Houston to see the bears play. Best. Decision. Ever.
The Girl House
yes, we still have not come up with anything more creative than that. In August I moved into a house with 6 of my closest friends. Another best decision ever. I was nervous that living as a group of 7 would be extremely difficult and not fun at all. It has been the complete opposite. I love every second of living in that house! It is so much fun and has worked out so much better than I would've ever imagined!
My Baptism!
wow, I can't believe I left this one off of this!
Those are probably my favorite things from this past year. There have been so many others but I simply cannot fill up a blog short enough for them :)
Bring on 2011!
