this year i ...

kept my hair long until i couldnt stand it anymore.

learned that when i cut my hair bad things happen.

survived being reared by an UPS truck.

fell in love with an amazing man.

finally got my boots.

quit working at a job i hate.

spent more time enjoying the little things.

experienced my first official blackout.

let myself watch horrible television.

came to terms with my faith.

there are so many many things that i could list. all in all 2009 has been a great year. im glad to see it go. if for no other reason than to bring a new one in. im making plans to be in warmer places when the snow starts to fall again next year. my feet are starting to make it quite clear that they have no interest in starting a relationship with the frozen ground. and i really miss not wearing shoes. this year im resolving to follow my passions. there are so many things i want to do. so many things to cross off my lists. and i will. i realize that i prepare myself for situations i would never be in and i never seem prepared for the situations i am in.

so here it is.

more importantly, here i am.

hello 2010.
