Happy New Years to everyone :)
"The most difficult thing of all-yet the most essential-is to love life, even when you suffer, because life is all. Life is God, and to love Life means to love God." -Leo Tolstoy

Its been fun, 2008.
Is it just me or did 2008 completely fly by?? As I grow older it seems the days begin to pass by faster and faster. I was going to compile a list of my "best of 2008" memories but I cant even think of any! I easily thought of my WORST memory (crashing my brand new car a couple weeks after getting it). I'll have to think that one over and work on my list tomorrow when I have time. I just realized that this new years may be the last one that I spend in San Diego. Makes me sad but happy at the same time to think about. Making me realize how much I need to treasure each day. I know that one day I'll look back and wish I could relive some of these memories.. but for now..

word to the wise:
Don't leave a stack of waffles out on your table if you own a dog.
Took a nap earlier today around 2 and woke up to my brother banging on my door asking if I knew that there was glass all over the kitchen floor. I had fallen asleep with my headphones blasting some old foo fighters and didn't hear any of this. I could have sworn I pushed the plate to the middle of the counter out of dog reach but apparently not. Now we get to monitor his poop for a few days to make sure he didn't swallow any glass. 10 points for me!
On a brighter note, took the boys to dog park today. It was about halfway through that I realized maybe it wasnt the smartest thing to do since Tobey hasnt been fixed. He developed a crush on some shepard and stalked her throughout the park. The owner was one of those 'I think my dog is human' ladies. She kept giving us the "get your dog AWAY" look & eventually just left cause she couldnt handle her dog being followed. Boys will be boys :p
Tobs with his crush & crazy ladyy keeping a close eye

Farewell Christmas..
Have been a little absent in the bloggy world lately so let me fill you in on why. December was the worst month for me with school. It completely consumed my life. All of my finals were comprehensive which just added onto all the stress. I took 7 classes this semester and passed them all. Not only that, but I got my highest GPA this semester compared to the previous couple of years.
December 19th my friends put on a Christmas Show for the homeless staying in the Alpha Project tent downtown. I was surprised to see how enthusiastic everyone was about the show. I stood in the back and this homeless guy name Tim chatted with me the whole time. It was cool because a few people that we met on the street that we haven't seen seen since they got in the tent were there. One of our favorite couples told us that they have been saving up money and are moving into a place soon.. they were saying how much they use to look forward to me and my friend coming and talking to them each week and how we are part of the reason that they continued to stay strong and have faith that they'd be getting off the street. Such a beautiful thing to know that a small friendship you build with someone can change someone in more ways than one will ever understand.
Then on December 23rd they played a Christmas show on someone's driveway in Christmas Card Lane. Soo much fun. My mom came and we made hot chocolate and handed it out for free to people walking by. I love how Christmas puts everyone in the best mood :)
Somewhere in between all of this there were also some good conversations and hangouts with some amazing people. Including a nice argument about why macs are better than PC's with a handful of people that I know ill be growing old with. Once you go mac, you never go back...
I got lunch today with a few friends from high school that I havent seen in awhile. One of them got drafted to the major leagues by the Cardinals. Got me thinking about all the different paths that each of us are on. I hate how as you get older you begin to see less and less of the people who mean the most to you. I can remember back in high school spending every free minute of my time in druckers parents guest house (WNF!). It was as if we would do the same thing every time and it never got old. Its going to be so weird when we all start getting careers and going off in different directions. I can see it now, not being able to open a magazine without it having one of Peters designs in an ad. Turning on the news and hearing druckers voice reporting the latest football updates. Turning to CNN and seeing Jill and Obama joking around over lunch. Swain owning a fancy little restaurant serving the best of the best wine. Renting a video from blockbuster that Ray filmed, edited, produced and probably acted in. Patty being married (because you make more money in the navy that way..)......
Oh I cant wait to see where life is going to take all of us :)
This new years I've decided to make a list of 100 things I want to do before I die. A bucket list. My goal is to accomplish at least 25 of them before 2009 is over. I hate being one of those people that is always talking about all the things that they want to do and doing nothing about it. I have about 60 things so far so when I finish my list ill post it up here, because I know everyone is dying to see all the adventures I'll one day be taking.
Chargers, I have faith in you tonight!!! <333

my home town
"I'll take you back to my home town
I'll show you where my feet first touched ground
I'll take you through the streets where love grew
I'll take you through the streets I once knew"
I'll show you where my feet first touched ground
I'll take you through the streets where love grew
I'll take you through the streets I once knew"
