it's a new year

i've made a list of some noteworthy events of my 2009. it's not an exhaustive list, but kind of sums up the year...

• finally made it to africa...and i loved it
• celebrated turning thirty in great ways with great friends
• spend a lot of time serving and traveling with my mom in st. louis, honduras, mexico and africa
• enjoyed a "no work, all play" summer...and it has spoiled me
• visited lots of friends all over the country
• met two of my favorite friends...jacob and nickie
• celebrated the arrival of little g.t. bass

i've never been much of a goal-maker [although i do love making lists], but due to the inspiration of my friends mimi and michelle, i've decided to come up with a few tangible goals for two thousand ten [i had to spell out the year because people saying "twenty-ten" really bugs me]...

• finish the 100 pushup challenge [already finished week two - though admittedly i am doing girl pushups]
• write in my "good things book" at least once a month
• stop biting my nails
• make a 'new' laundary room for my mom
• read through the bible
• take a solo trip
• find a sustainable way to get exercise in my everyday life

here's to a happy new year.
