I did this last year. Here's another...

* What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?

I went to a Nebraska Texas A&M game. A Nebraska game I have done before... Texas A&M. Nope. It was great. Lots of rich traditions, and some silly ones.

* Did you keep your New Year's resolutions and will you make more for next year?

Not all year long. Just off and on, when it was convenient for me.

* What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?

Play time. I can never get enough of it, and the older I get with more responsibilities.. the fewer and fewer play times I have. Oh, to be a kid again.

* What date from 2005 will remain etched in your memory, and why?

August something. HA! It was the first day at my new job as Children's ministry director, for a great church! It was also the day that I could rejoice in the fact that God know best! I have such a control issue in my relationship with Him, and this whole job interview/process/and getting (excuse my poor grammar) was SO NOT a control issue for me. That was HUGE! A big milestone in my relationship with the Father! I was stressed out about keeping a job at Boys Ranch, and when they told me I was no longer needed... God just made the transition so easy and flawless! Oh, how good it is to serve such a FAITHFUL King!

* What was your biggest achievement of the year?

I kinda answered this in the question above. But lets just say that my biggest achievement was truly letting God be the Lord of my life!

* What was your biggest failure?

My attitude. I hate to let people down. And I don't like it when others don't like me. I get all defensive and pouty and then I get down right sassy.

* What was the best thing you bought?

A HOUSE! A house, a house, a house! A HOOOUUUSSSEEE! (I am singing here people!)

* Where did most of your money go?

Bills, bills and more bills! Clothes, Christmas, shoes, GAS, and travels! Fun stuff!

*Are you happier or sadder compared to this time last year?

Happier. I am no longer wondering where I stand in a job, or feeling like I have to prove myself to a community of 1,000 + people. Luke and I have a great home, new car, old car, adorable puppy, and my best friend and sister in law (same person) is living with us! Not to mention... I LOVE MY JOB! AND Luke and I finally have a church home. If I weren't lazy, I would put that first, but... I'm feeling lazy.

*Are you thinner or fatter?

The EXACT SAME! (FRUSTRATION TO THE MAX!)

* Are you richer or poorer?

Richer in love, does anything else matter? I think not!

* What do you wish you'd done more of?

Keeping up with older friends. Like friends from the past, not old older friends.

* What do you wish you'd done less of?

Spending money. I should just overall be much more wise in that department. HA! Kara made a joke. Get it? Department... as in department store... funny? Funny? Okay. Never mind.

* Did you fall in love in 2005?

Every single day, over and over again!

* What was your favorite TV program?

can I get a "What-What" for some Grey's Anatomy? Anyone? Anyone?

* What was your favorite movie this year?

I don't go to the movies much. But I did see invincible and Facing the Giants! I highly recommend them both. They WILL be in my little movie collection!

* What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

Well, let's see... another year of partying all month long. We started out on a Trip with mom and dad to see a Nebraska game at Texas A&M. Then we all came back to Amarillo to start working on the new house. Mom and I painted almost everyday. Dad bought Luke and I some stuff to help us "fix up" the house. Then we had lots of birthday dinners, and ended off with a birthday breakfast! FUN TIMES!

* What one thing would have made your year more satisfying?

I don't wanna say. I don't want to live with any regrets anymore... so why put them down? the past is the past. All I can do now is live in the moment and for the future!

* What political issue/statement stirred you the most?

Rosie vs. Trump Just teasing! I didn't really get stirred politically this year. Now... church stuff... that's a different matter! Not my church, per-say, just churches in general.

* Who did/do you miss?

Xana, Malcolm, Madalyn, mom, dad, Corren, Danny, Leslie, Leah, Ryan, Larry, Eric, Brett, Stacia, and many more!

* Who was the best new person you met?

Ummm... I can't just say one person, so I will say the body of Christ at West Amarillo Christian. :) It's true. I'm not just trying to kiss up here folks. They really are a great family. Luke and I are honored to be a part!
