Highlights of 2007

Man! 07 has been a busy one!! An amazing year for me personally. The other, day talking to a co-worker, we began to ponder what major events happend in the year 2007... which is all well and fine; it turns out a lot of crappy things happened in the world (Virginia Tech... etc.). Then last night a pastor steered my attention towards reflecting on my own personal highlights. I started thinking about this on the drive in this morning and MAN! the list is looooong... These aren't necessarily in chronological order but #1 is the most important.

1) I've really submit my life to God.
2) God blessed me with a job at Boeing last February... he answered my prayers in a time when I was living on unemployment.
3) Christina (my bestie) got married!! Congrats!
4) Reconnected with old friends (Heather this ones you ;) )
5) God brought Stephanie (my sister) back to me! I missed my family.
6) I got to spend Mary Jane, Serena, and Ethan's birthday with them for the first time ever! *a tear*
7) I got to spend my sisters bday with her for the first time in years! and vice versa
8) Miriam came home from Japan!!! I missed her tons too!
9) I began volunteering with children at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance
10) I began working with the childrens ministry at Mars Hill
11) I began working as a female youth leader with Point Break youth ministry
12) I went to Disneyland!! Twice!
13) Mateo turned 1... congrats on a beautiful baby Christina!
14) I've had some adventures in Port Angeles... who hikes at midnight when they have to work the next day??
15) My cousins Nicole and Jacob (on separate occassions) both came to visit me!
16) I've made lasting friendships; Nate, Stephanie, Josh... you know who you are!
17) I turned 25!! Even though I dreaded the day it was the best birthday I've ever had!
18) I bought a new car... hello grey Sentra!
19) God brought Nicole and I closer and we've had some amazing conversation... I am so thankful God's working on her heart. Nikki, I love you immensely and I only want to see you healthy and happy.
20) I bought a new snowboard. Woot!

Alright... Is that enough? I might revise again later. There's a lot to be thankful for this year.
