Why hello 2010...

It’s New Year’s Eve in 2009…only 7 hours until we’re in a whole new year, a whole new decade! I still feel like I should be in high school getting ready to graduate and not be a working, home owner, and independent woman (I am a woman now?!). 2009 was interesting to say the least! Totally didn’t end up the way I thought it was going to. I’m sitting here trying to think of some major events that have happened this year, but I’m having a hard time remembering haha…I’m getting old! Oh wait…here we go:


• The first thing that sticks out to me in 2009 was the whole septic tank fiasco! That sure took a long time too! At least it felt like it.


• I turned 23 years old…yikes!


• I got a new nephew!


• I worked two jobs for 4 months to make some extra cash…that was a lot of work!


• Finished up the siding on the front of the house and made a new garden! I found out that I really like gardening too!


• My brother and sister in law came to visit from Brooklyn with both the boys!


• Roommate moved out…


• Tore of the back of the house and put siding up back there…


• New roommate moved in…


• I quit my job after 6 years without really having a plan in place.


• Went to NEW YORK!!!!!!!!! Holla!


• Found a new passion for photography.


• Started going to a new church.


• Started going to a Bible study that I thought I never would go too. Haha…


• I got a new job that is not at all what I want to do.


So now I’m sitting here in my living room waiting to hear from some friends and thinking about this next year. I do have a few things that I want to make happen this year, not resolutions, but goals. One of them is starting my own photography business. I don’t know why or how, but the love for photography has bloomed in the last 6 months or so and I want to make it my work. I have found that being in an office in the cooperate world is not for me. And I truly do miss being in the ministry. Working for God and the church is truly something that is fulfilling and you know you’re making a difference in someone’s life as well as the Kingdom. I hope that this year will be amazing and that God will answer some of my long awaited prayers. I know God is doing something though and I’m more than ready for a new life. Looking back I know that I was getting bored and wanted to do something different than just office work, but now it’s more prominent that ever. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with this. I also know that my relationship with God will be different…in a good way. I can tell already. I’m sure life will still be difficult and the trials will still come, but I want to be more focused on God than myself. I think I just gave myself a contract for major trails…haha…oh boy!


Anyways…welcome 2010! It’s very nice to meet…please be kind!
