19!

i can't believe it's been another year already!
but, i think bigger than the reminder that i'm another year older, was the reminder of how many great people fill my life.
my parents and katie came up for the weekend, which was great and they got to meet a lot of my friends and all go out to dinner.
all day people have been so great, asking if i'm having a good day and if i want to do anything. but, as decisive as i am, it wasn't good to leave anything up to me.
i went out to brunch with my parents and then they headed home, so I came back to campus to relax a bit. i hadn't been back in my room 5 mins when Shea and Brad came running in, throwing balloons at me and singing.
after, Amy wanted me to choose something fun to do, saying that I had to decide since it was my birthday. finally we reached the conclusion of Frisbee since we had, had so much fun playing ultimate the other day. after some Frisbee, Leif, Shanan, Amy, Clara, Kathryn and I hit a volleyball around, trying to see how many hits we could keep it in the air. after volleyball, we went to dinner then Amy and i ran around Clark, throwing rocks at peoples windows and talking to them...quite random and fun. later that evening we went to vespers (worship session) and then came back, watched Flight of the Concords (awesome show) and enjoyed some of Kathryn's apple, blackberry cobbler she made earlier.
it was a great day!
i was blessed with some many messages and "happy birthdays"
thanks all!
i hope this next year can be a year that is full of growth, learning and laughter.
