out with the old...in with the new...2013

2012 ended up being an amazing year...My favorite parts were getting my job at Raleys, my best friends coming home from Africa, getting first place at the first competition i have ever taken my cheerleaders too (with of course a huge thanks to my assistant coaches), the world not ending was pretty great, going on our first of many family camping trips with dads side of the family, first saragoza side family reunion, met JJ Heller and Moriah Peters, and so many more things. I have made new friends and lost some. I have been overjoyed and super sad. This has pretty much been a year of everything.  My job at Raleys has blessed me with meeting people that i can honestly say i love. they make every day at work enjoyable. we laugh, get mad, and make fun of eachother. they are like another family. cheer has seemingly consumed my life and i love it. ok aside from all of that this year was incredible and i have high hopes for this next year.

In with the new...

2013...making New Year resolutions is a tradition for everyone, and i would assume everyone else also breaks theirs. instead this year i am going to do three things. first, i am going to make a serious commitment to reading the Bible this year. ya...the whole thing. i said that i was going to last year but i didnt and this year i really am going to make an effort to. Second, focus on the people who matter. i spend so much time trying to impress the people that dont like me, or i waste time trying to impress people hoping that they will notice me. This year i am going to spend my time loving the people who have made an effort in my life and that are continually there for me. finally, i am going to make an effort to love every one. i am going to make a huge effort to stop gossipping and to really look for the good things in people instead of always going straight for the negative. i will continue to smile and make a bigger effort to show Jesus in everything that I do.

Now all of that mixed with the usual eat healthier and i am going to start running with Rae in the morning I am really looking forward to making this year one that i will be happy to look back on. I cant wait to see where this next year leads and I am so glad that i get to enjoy it with all of you.

I pray that God blesses all of you in this next year!!
