Treasures of 2008

A few things occured in 2008 that I would like to reflect on...

Tragically, my beloved frog Beans died after 2 long years of a beautiful friendship/petship?

I traveled to Ukraine TWICE, and hung out with awesome street kids and citizens of Mariupol.

I saw High School Musical 3...5 times.

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) offered me his coat and I refused. I beat myself up about it every second of everyday wondering what would have happened if I took the friggin coat!

I survived a lightening storm inside a 2 person tent, with 3 other people in it.

I hit pastor Steve Rutenbar in the face with a jellyfish.

I slept outside Disneyland for 12 hours to meet the Jonas Brothers.

I went to the beach in Chicago.

JJ Abrams managed to produce another season of LOST, in which no questions were answered, once again.

David Hughes won the title of my favourite new friend of 2008.

I got skin cancer on my right cheek..wooooo hoo!

Bought a trampoline off Craigslist for 50 bucks.

Became a high school small group leader and loved it.

Was turned down by a potential employer because of my Harry Potter tattoo.

Dropped out of college to be a missionary in Ukraine (still waiting to see how this will turn out).

Got into a minor car accident in Holy Jim's canyon and survived...cough cough Luke St. Hilare cough cough.

Learned how to say "suck it" in Russian.

Lastly,

I watched the New Year's countdown this year and vividly remembered 2000, when I cried hsyterically and clutched my parents thinking Y2K would end the world.



See ya 2008. You were great.
