In an effort to celebrate the new year 2011, we mustn't forget the old year, from which the new one came. I wanted to take a moment (or a few) to do a little commemorating of good ol' 2010. {Perhaps one day my children's children's children will look this up on their microchip-brain-computers to read up about lil ol' granny...me}.......(((weird.)))
- 2010 brought new friends....friends like Heidi Thomson, Lindsy Young, Lauren Paine, Sarah Stimson, Audrey Johnston, Courtney Corbeille...oh, and whilst talking to Marshall Clapp briefly tonight, I remembered that he fits into this category as well. It's funny to think that even though I barely knew some of these people a year ago if I knew them at all, now they are some of my very very closest friends. Thank you 2010 for new friends
- 2010 gave me my major: dance. Thank you Jesus, thank you aTm, thank you Christine Bergeron, thank you 2010 for the opportunity to dance in college and for the rest of my life.
- 2010 sent me to Kanakuk to be a counselor at k2. I learned more about life and Jesus, and how Jesus fits into my life more at k2 in a month than I have in my entire life. I am thankful for my co-counselors, ALL of my girls in cabins 4 and 11...and I am desperately thankful for the chance God took on me in sending me there, trusting me with high schoolers, and the gift he gave me when he worked through me and changed my heart.
- 2010 started my blog! I cannot tell you how much I love to blog. I love that 18 people are entertained enough by the happenings in my life to read about them and laugh with me at most things I do with life. I'm thankful for rediscovering writing. I'm thankful for words
- 2010 cut my hair short! Whether it stays short forever or grows long again someday, I am thankful that I have become more indifferent about my hair. It certainly is invigorating to tell someone to chop your hair off without the promise that it will look good...all because you finally realized that it's true, hair really does grow.
- The "chat" happened in 2010. My little house in College Station where I live with Elizabeth, Meredith, Corey, and Catherine has just been lovely. I love my house, my room, and my roomies :) cheers to the chat!
- 2010 brought a road trip and spring break vacation to Destin with about 30 of my closest friends
- In October of 2010 my sister was married, and I turned 20 years old, kissing my teenage years goodbye...
-In 2010 Whitley got engaged!!!!!!! yayyyy for Whitley! (Campbell's sister)
- In 2010 I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and developed achilles tendonitis
-In 2010 I started wearing red lipstick
-Theta and AMC won Songfest in 2010!
-Most recently in 2010 we celebrated the lives of Momo (Verna Marie Porter Stutsman) and Daddy Bob (Robert Moore Read). See you later, never goodbye, and nothin' but love
Lots of wonderful, wonderful things happened in 2010...if you think of something I missed, let me know in a comment- I'd love to remember! I am so very thankful for 2010- it's struggles and celebrations. 2011 is currently filled with lots of mystery! I'm "resoluting" to at least fill it with a few more books, a little less diet coke, and a lot more water. Here's to a year I hope to do much better than the last. My prayer is that I would remain and continue to abide in Jesus. How very quickly I stray and lose my way
Nothin but love,
Bethany
