2010 in the review mirror

And so this ends the 2010 Recap -beginning with Christmas 2009.
Again, lots of pictures, lots of words, lots of mistakes, I'm sure.
Good times.

Christmas in the 2009 -Christmas in the Hills Awkward Santa

last days in the classroom -not exactly sad about that :)

the "trailer girls." We had one epic year

weeks and weeks of practicing for Easter weekend: "Thief" by Third Day


potentially best school memory: Sr Sneak in Colorado Springs. It was epic.


an amazing last choir tour: to the Jersey Shore and back

the Class of 2010 reunion: wedding road trip to KS


Sarah Reunions: this time she's engaged, folks :)

heat, people, music, lost voice, sore calves

Independence Day Homemade ice cream joy

lessons in grace, trust, faithfulness, mercy, love

Softball Sundays

summer sunshine and Papa Smurf's Harley Wannabe

Memories that make me smile: summer nights. road trippin. work work work. CBC family time. my crazy classmates. local color.

Things that shaped me and stretched me: developing deeper relationships, developing new relationships, laughing until I cried, crying because I hurt, learning to trust trust trust, lessons in prayer, learning to love.

God is good. And so is life. I am pumped for the 2011 (and also slightly freaked out. in a good way).

Five Minute Friday: After

It's the week After Easter... Resurrection Sunday... celebration of New Life and Power over Death.  Last week was good.  I had some good reads last week: Love to the Uttermost , The Jesus Storybook Bible , Galatians , John , The Story of Hope .  I listened to a Resurrection playlist that was over 8 hours long so I don't think that I ever made it all the way through.  I had encouraging time with my church family here as we celebrated the Truth of the Gospel. And now, the Week After, I am feeling a little ...overwhelmed? let down?   Because After Easter I have only 3 weeks left of class.  And After Easter I only have one week left with my Moving Friends.  And After Easter I only have a month left with Friends who are here for school.  And After Easter life seems so.... well. anti climactic?  Which is all ridiculous because the whole beautiful thing about the week after the Resurrection is purpose and hope  Before it was me the hopeless and helpless los

You know how life is not always what you were expecting or planned? Yeah... my life precisely. Hence the phrase, "Life is an adventure." Because, well, it is. You see, I've been skiing for 10+ years and this year was no exception! I had the opportunity to go on an awesome sauce weekend with some work friends to Telluride : friends, fresh powder, skiing, too many slopes to choose from, Colorado goodness - how is this a bad plan ???  Well it wasn't.... until the unexpected happened and I found myself relaxing on the side of the mountain waiting for my Ski Patrol buddies to come rescue me from my broken bone dilemma. The moral of the story is: never assume that it won't happen to you. Also, make sure that you have awesome friends to take care of you when you are on drugs.  (P.S. hospital gowns totally live up to their reputation: hawt.) life is looking a lot like this these days:    I've been living in my sweats and spending a lot of qualit
