AH IT'S ALREADY 2009!!!

AHHH!
It is so hard to believe it is finally 2009, the year that I thought would never come. So many big things that will be happening this year like graduation and also my 18th birthday! WOW. I feel like I am so old! 2008 has definitely been an interesting year. It had it's bad thing but I also met some of the most amazing people that I grew amazingly close with. I have amazing people in my life! :)
I don't know what to be more afraid of... Graduation, or what my friends will do AT my graduation to embarrass the crud out of me. This I cannot wait to see... I have thee most embarrassing but most amazing friends/other families!
I have noticed in myself that over the last two years I have changed and matured so much but it all ended up having a very positive affect on my life and the people in it. I really have been so blessed to be looked after the way I have, the people in my life are probably some of the most amazing people out there. For everyone who worries about me, don't because as long as I have certain people to lean on and can make me laugh there is no need to worry because every person close to me takes care of me in their own way.
Last week was a really good week for me surprisingly, I mean what girl couldn't be happy with the fact of seeing her friends again after weeks. PLUS I went sailing with some friends from church. Thursday I went over to Randi's, who is one of my favorite people, and then on Friday I went to lunch with an amazing woman who is also my other favorite person who is Debi and then I went to the Carmel PG basketball game(which PG won) WOO!!!
The way 2008 ended and the way 2009 began could not have been more amazing. I was in Pismo and had the most amazing week a girl could have. I went to dinner with the person who has actually helped me become who I am and who was the person who constantly inspires me not only to keep the strong faith I have and to never let it fail but to be who I am and to believe in myself. Melissa dinner was amazing and thank you for everything you have done for me. New Years day I ate some of thee most BOMB food (that Melissa made)and saw a bunch of families I hadn't seen since I moved even though I basically grew up with them. Mmmmm, Melissa make me some more ribs or those awesome jalapeno things! I got so spoiled by everyone for Christmas and I even got like a 3 or 4 day Christmas I mean come on now, that is totally AMAZING.
I am so excited to see what this year has in store for me. I hope it is the amazing year every person I know deserves. Some of the most amazing people have had one of the hardest years of their lives and they don't deserve it. So here is to 2009, I hope it is an amazing year filled with laughter and tons of great memories and less sadness.
Here are pictures from the year that I love to death:

































I am grateful for: My amazing friends and family. Without my amazing YW's Leaders +Randi, my mom, and Second family (Lisa, Cody, ashton, Joel, Jasmine, Laura, Renee, and MELISSA) I would definitely not be able to get through life with a smile on my face like I do. Debi, Randi, Brenna, Sista Sammm, Stephanie, Lisa, MELISSA,Laura, and my mom are the people who keep me going to be the best person that I can be and they also inspire me to try to be more like them! Oh and Debi, you are amazing and always make me laugh and I appreciate that so much.You have such a warm and loving personality and are someone I know I can come to. Your company is relaxing and lifts my spirits up (same goes for Randi). Love you!
