So as the year comes to a close I think it's time for my year summary. I was reading back through my summary of last year which you can see in this post: and it's so weird to think of everything that has happened since I've been at MC especially in the past two years. wow. I've had an amazing college experience. It's weird to think that I only have one more semester. That still scares me but I'm coming to terms with it. I think more than anything I'm just sad to be leaving my best friends. There's just no better bonding time than college. I can't imagine not having these people around me all the time but I know that God has good plans in store for me and I'm excited to see what those plans are, but yes, nervous at the same time because I really don't know what those plans are. I've decided that I have to live this semester to the fullest. I want to do any and every crazy plan my friends have because I don't want to miss out on fun opportunities with them my last semester. I mean nothing too stupid or anything. ha I've been truly blessed to have some of the best friends a person could ask for while I've been at MC...gah I'm starting to cry as I write this. ha I can't help it. I'm really going to miss all the late nights in the church activities building, all the random road trips, the functions, everything basically. ha Thank you to all of my friends for being such great friends. 2008 has been another great year and I'm going to make the most of this last semester. Anyway, after all that rambling, here's my year summary. (Btw if it weren't for pictures I would have a lot of trouble remembering back to what happened all the back in January. ha)

It's been a good year and it definitely flew by. It was a busy year. This next year is going to be a year of change. I'm graduating which is crazy. It's true when people say college flies by. It most certainly does. I've loved it. I've had my good times and bad times, but overall I've loved it. It should be interesting to see what's in store for me this upcoming year. I'm starting it off with a half-marathon and a trip to Texas. Should be fun. :)
