2010 In Review

I don't know about any of you, but I am really kind of happy to see 2010 go.  Don't get me wrong, there are a few things that have made 2010 bearable, but for the most part it has been a really rough and trying year.  I have thought a lot about what has happened and what I have garnered through this time.

I have learned:

• The hardest thing to do it take that first step.
• That I have hurt several people and that there have been several that have hurt me. 
• That when it comes down to it my parents always have been and will continue to be my hero's.
• Who my true friends are; those people that stand by my side...no matter what happens in my life.
• That I have welcomed new friends into my life...people that have made the transition easier and less painful.
• That I am a Moderate Republican and a very tolerant Christian.
• That I am learning more and more about my relationship with God.
• That I can truly be happy being myself.
• That Amanda is the best little girl in the world (I have always known that) and makes the world melt away with her contageous laugher and playful ways.
• That as long as I am alive I will always love Justin's family.
• That there is someone out there that can love me for me even though he has seen me at the bottom and not ask me to change.
• That my word's and action's can help those that need guidance or realize they are going through the same things that I am.
• I love sushi more each time I eat it!
• I have to be patient.  This I didn't pray for because I didn't want to know what God was going to use to make me more patient.
• That things are always going to be okay and when I think it is bad for me, there is always some one out there that has it worse than I do.

So...here's to 2011.  Waiting to see what my life has in store for me this year.
