It's a new year...2008. Crazy. So much has happened in the past year and there is so much ahead of me this year. This is possibly my last semester with my roommate who is not just my roommate, but my best friend. Erin is applying early to dental school and if she gets in now she won't be at MC next year. I really will be happy for her if she gets in, but I've had the same roommate for 3 years and I can't imagine what it will be like without her. Her leaving will be a double whammy for me since she's not just my roommate, but also my best friend. I really can't imagine rooming with anyone else.
Anyway, here are some of the highlights/key things that happened to me in the past year.
Bolded events were especially important to me.

So that's pretty much my year in a nutshell. It was a good year overall. Crazy, but good. I've made some amazing friends over the past year, and become closer to ones I was already friends with. God has definitely done a lot of work in my life over this past year. It's pretty awesome when people tell you they can see the changes in you. God's pretty amazing. Now it's time for another year and hopefully it will be just as great and eventful as last year!

Allison,
Thanks for the shout out! Seriously though, I can barely read that without crying. You don't know how hard it is for me to think about leaving everyone, especially my BFF. But the good thing about BFF is that it's FOREVS! So, I'm not worried about losing you; I'm just sad that I won't see you every second of everyday! You are the best roommate I could've ever asked for, and if I leave after this semester, I will be back very often to visit. I'm so proud of all that you've accomplished this year, and I'm certain that 2008 will be even better for you and me. I love you and can't wait to see you next week! Love- Erin
