New Beginnings

I can't believe that 2008 is almost over. With the oncoming closing of this year I have been thinking back on all that has happened this year. I really feel like I have grown in many ways; I worked a great summer job, became an EMT, added to my education, and just had a pretty okay year. Next year, hopefully, will have even more promise. It seems that way anyhow. Mike and I are really close to accomplishing some big things in our lives. We are both very excited for what that means personally and what it means to us as a couple.

I'm excited for Christmas, I just wish I had more time for it! I definately need to make more time for it. Mike and I are trying to give back a little bit to those much more in need than us; we have a pile of nice things we don't use, or inherited, and won't use, and instead of throwing them away like we usually would we are donating them to a Christian organization called F.I.S.H. which helps provide services to the needy.

All in all, this year is almost over. I'm so glad for what this past year has given me, taught me, and made me. I'm glancing ahead to the new beginnings of 2009. It will be a big year for all, especially as a nation.
