2012

I was going to start this with a list of resolutions but instead I think I’ll just recap last night. I’ll share my resolutions at the end. Well last night could not have been any better, the Bearcats are the Liberty Bowl Champs and I had a great time at the party. After the game ended we had to rush back to the hotel to get to the big session, we were late. The session was good talked a lot about travel and had a few hundred people dedicated a year of their lives to full time ministry. The dance party was after that, the theme was “That Used to be Cool” everyone who dressed up were really creative, I think we all looked great. We danced until 11:05-ish when we all ran like lunatics back to where we had the sessions and we all prayed in the New Year. Actually we stopped at 11:59 and we hugged in the New Year, and then sang songs for what seemed like an eternity, my back was really starting to hurt (thanks marching band). Once we finished the songs, most of our Cru met back up in the lobby and decided we were just going to hang out. So we went up to the game room and at first we were just talking, then someone was eating an apple, finished and threw it at someone else and so started our baseball/softball game. At one point we lost the apple core but while looking for it I found a whiffle ball, it had a small dent in it when they started but when they finished it had a very large hole in it and was not really a ball any more. After they quit playing some in groups and others by themselves decided to go to bed. It ended up 6 of us, we sat around and talked for a while and it was getting really late, we were all a little slap-happy/floppy-dogging. We were laughing at everything and just generally enjoying each other’s company But we had to be out of our hotel rooms by 11am so we eventually decided we should go to bed too, that was around 3/3:30am.  I wish more of the week had been like that but all-in-all I think J was right I’d have regretted not going and I think I really did learn a lot. It was a chance to see what it’s going to be like next spring without some of the people I’m most comfortable around being around. I’m also glad I got to spend a bit of time with M&J, I love them. They are great people and I can no longer picture my life without them, which is weird considering they only both recently came back into it. I have a good feeling about 2012, I really do. I can’t wait to see what it holds, everything from birthdays with the aforementioned to Australia this summer. Bring it on 2012, I’m ready.

I resolve to:

*leave things up to God

*leave what’s in the past, in the past

*find the finances for Australia

*pass my classes
