Well, it has been an interesting year. Although, I probably say that after every year. But the truth is, every year is a new experience.

This year has been full of fun, friends, family, etc. Events have been a big thing, from going skiing last February, to who knows what... Many things have really happened this year. I was able to come closer to my friends, and even make a few new ones (Wade ;)). I was really happy to be able to keep in contact with my friends, especially since HEDGE moved, and we all didn't really know what this year was going to be like. Luckally, a lot of us stayed, and that brought new experiences.

As you have already noticed, friends are a big factor in what determines how a year goes. But the truth is, that is what really makes a year. What you do with family and friends (family can be friends :D). But I have had some good experiences with my friends. Some like going camping, having parties, goofing off, making videos of random stuff, the list goes on. It is great that I was able to participate in all of that, and hopefully, next year as well :).

Family... That has been an interesting subject for this year as well. One of the biggest factors, is that Kristin went to collage in Tennessee this year. It has been quiet around the house without her. :( But when she visits for Christmas/New Years, you DEFIANTLY get your Kristinness in... Trust me. Other than that, my grandparents have also been in good health. Which is always good, because they really are cool. The only real problem is that my grandfather had to have surgery a couple days before Christmas, but he is making a good recovery.

There are a lot of other things, but I might make a follow-up to this blog post. Right now, I have to get ready for the New Year. I wish everyone a great New Year, and hopefully, great memories to go with it.
