The New Year

Tonight I was at work until 11pm. I'm not one prone to homesickness, but today I missed "home" and my dog so much that my stomach hurt. (Good thing I'll see them soon) There is no way I could compete with the amazing new years last year when the whole Asian city turned into one big street party. (to see pics click on Jan 2006)

Many of my friends went on a big ski vacation or were out of town, so I didn't have any plans. The guys at work were willing to take me out to get drunk, but I declined. Earlier in the afternoon I sat with people from church eating a home cooked meal and discussing Reformed Theology. So, I came to my place at about 11:30, put on my stilettos and celebrated.

I can't remember a time I've been more excited about life. I hate my job in retail and I'm really not sure what God is doing in this whole nursing thing. BUT I'M SOOOO EXCITED. As a pessimist that is quite rare. I'm just enjoying the moments! I look forward to my visit back east and starting nursing school.

Last year New Years was a great party, but I was in a weird place of not knowing what would happen in the future. Fast forward a year and I'm still not really sure, but I'm so blessed to see how the Lord walked me through treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder early in '06 and began to open a new vision in my life.

Can't wait to see what 2007 holds. My friend Crystal said she thinks 2007 will be a great year for us and I agree!!!

I'm going to try to switch to the new Blogger format, so if you don't see an update in at least a week it didn't work...so just email me and I'll give you the 411.
