A Year in Review

Here’s a semi-random list of some highlights (with pictures, for you visual learners out there) from my 2008. It was a year filled with transition, change, excitement, growth and learning beginning with:

• New Year’s in Florida with Jen.
  

• My first kiss (I’m a girl, this is a big deal)
• My last semester living with my roommate of three years! (I could cry just thinking about it. Love you, Little Debbie!)

• Start of my final semester of college.

• Began my ministry internship at Lakeview Wesleyan Church.

• Job search.
• Spring Break with my dad (Daytona Bike Week ’08)

• Fell in love for the first time.
• Visited Southeast Christian.

• Offered a job at Fall Creek Wesleyan Church.
• Offered a job at Southeast Christian.
• Accepted the job at Fall Creek.
  
• Graduation!

• Drove off the lot in my brand new Scion tc!

• Stood with my best friends as they married each other.
  

• Made the PERMANENT move to the Hoosier State.

• Started Thursday night dinners with Jess and Deb.

• Fall Creek Wesleyan Church-my first "real" job.

• My first broken heart.
  
• Started paying rent and buying my own groceries!
• Made it through my first VBS as a children’s pastor-a HUGE accomplishment!

• Celebrated my 22^nd birthday with two of my best friends!

• My first official blind date (little did I know it was one of many more to come.)
• My senior pastor resigned-began a time of transition/growing for our church.

• Yet ANOTHER blind date.
• Christmas with my family.
• And ending with New Year’s Eve in Indy with Deb!
  

This is kind of a lame list but it has been quite the year in my humble little life. I tried to think of the biggest things and include them here. I'm sure if I really sat and thought about it I would come up with a much longer list of things that I learned and ways that God stretched me. I'm anticipating another year of change and growth and I can't wait to see what's around the corner

Here’s to feelin' (and lookin') fine in 2009…
