Tomorrow is a big day in my world. In the morning, Bekah and I are going to go the mall...where we will buy a few things, get makeovers, and just be girly. (Something I don't often do!) If it is nice in the afternoon, we have planned to go to the park and toss the disc or rollerblade/bike. Tomorrow evening she is banishing me from the house for a little bit and when I come back, Lord willing, there will some of my close friends from CIU in our home.

But this big day has brought with it so many thoughts...I guess this really happens every year, so I shouldn't be surprised. My friend, "Mon Amie", asks a few questions every year at this time and I know tomorrow I will have to answer them, so I have been trying to prepare for this.

*What 3 things are you thankful for from the last year?
*What 3 things do you hope to see happen this year?
*What 3 things have you learned in the last year?

So, since this is my site and I can bore you if I want, I'm going to indulge:

3 Thing I'm thankful for from this past year:

1) God putting people in my life who helped carry me through the dark times.
2) My dad buying a canoe this past summer...some of my favorite days this past year were spent in that canoe out on the Res in Iowa.
3) The time I have had with my friends and family...the laughter and smiles still echo in my mind.

3 Things I hope to see happen this year:

1) Graduation and moving back home!
2) To see my loved ones love Jesus!
3) To find that "someone special" in my life!

3 Things I have learned:

1) I have limits...I am not Superwoman!
2) Its ok to cry when you hurt, but its also ok to talk about it with a trusted friend.
3) Swahili...well, at least a little...but I have wanted to learn it for soooo long!
