Happy New Year
wow long time not write!
well wow! 2007 was a busy year!
I did the whole "course" part of my Montessori training, every saturdays and 7 binders of work! so yea this whole year has been pretty Montessori centered! crazy, but i still love it more and more!
I feel i have grown a lot through out all this, but i know i still have a long ways to go and lots to do and figure out!
hope your 2007 was grand and that 2008 will be even better! :]
Otherwise xmas was great, no fights, no stress (well not too much anyways) great food, lots of gifts everywhere, and a full house! it went by really fast though (as always really) My sis and her 3 (1/2) kids were here for a whole week and it went really well, didnt get much studying done (i have practical exams in january, and written in february, then my internship) but that turned out to be a nice little vacation!
I got a super awesome pikaboo book from my mom with pics of my art, it was pretty cool (though some make me cringe... lol)
$60 in a maze thingy box where you have to get the ball in the right place to get to the cash (ended up using a magnet, it was very frustrating)
a book on illustrating children's books (yay!) and one with experssions (that should help, when i get back in the art groove!)
a barnes and nobles gift card, and a mug, some chocolats, and a pic of my nieces/nephew
some art supplies, pens and the likes
an ipod car charger
an lots of love!
man i feel spoiled!
but the bestest part was watching the nieces and nephews open and play iwth their presents! that was made of win!
the religious par tof the holiday went great too, not as much singing as usual but i guess thats ok , mass was good, and imust say our nativity scene was quite beautiful! its so easy though to forget about the whole point of xmas, thats sad. but being all (sortof) together is always rewarding
we had to take the xmas tree down today though, it was shedding horribly
new years was a bit different this year, we actually stayed up... wow
i didnt have anywhere/party to go to so i stayed with the family, great food, good movie (stardust, the book is still the best, butits great!), games, and then we went to mass at 11:30pm! that was totally crazy, so tired and a bit too much white wine in me, but it was pretty cool too. i really didnt want to go and miss the count down and fireworks, but it was a really nice way to finish and start the year, with God and through communion. i really want to grow more in my faith this year, sometimes i just feel like such a hypocrite or just all talk and no action, i wish i could still have taht childlike faith, its so beautiful, i choose to be Catholic, not because thats what my parents are and what i have grownup in but because it makes sense and feels right and true. now i just need to get in a stronger relationship with God. so after mass we had a bit of champagne at the church, which was pretty fun and then home and sleep, and i got up at 11:30am it was great!
Now i m not big on new years resolotion, they never work, i had rather make a "day" resolution each day. but yea this year up ahead is my exams, my internship (unpaid, so thats gonna be a bit tricky!), a new job, 2 new nieces/nephew, my graduation, hopefully a trip to france or WYD in Sydney, and maybe a boyfriend (that would be nice)
and yea, i think its gonna be a full year, and i ll turn 20, yikes!
anyways, past all the rambling and words, i hope you all have a Fantastic Year!
