Feliz Compleanos

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY
in just over two weeks!

I'm going to be 20!
Which is kinda crazy.
I kinda wanna throw a big bash, but I don't really know.
Is it weird to say i feel selfish having a birthday party?
Because I do. How ever much I would love a day all about me, I kinda feel that's selfish
I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty, because everyone should have a day all about them, everyone deserves it.
Plus there's a lot of planning and such and then a lot of work hosting.
It doesn't necessarilly have to be about me, i just want a bash. Maybe i'll have an un-birthday bash
And people could sing "AAAAA very very unbirthday to you, to you."
That would be fun.

Anyways if i was having a birthday party this is kinda what i've jotted down:
Barbeque outside, with ton's of white balloons flowers and white lights in my trees.
Then MAYBE  a bit of an outdoor dance party, because who doesn't love to dance
and then a barbecue lasting all night ending in a campout/sleepover with ALL my girls

That would be my perfect birthday, maybe if someone convinces me i'll do it.

One strike of the clock, brings a New year.

The last few days i've been super inspired. Probably has alot to do with these two books i've been huddled up in a corner reading. Those being The Bible and The Architecture of Happiness. I took time to reflect on what has happened this year. I didn't really feel like alot has happened but in reality way to much has happened. I look back a year ago from today, its amazing really.

So here's a recap of 2010 events and such:

Became part of the most amazing family made of some pretty amazing girls
Finished my first Semester in University with an a, b, and c.
Discovered so many more of my dreams, but I know that isn't even part of them.
Experienced the olympics, which was one of the most patriotic things i think that can ever be experienced
Reached my savings goal of $10 000
Seen two amazing people leave the country to pursue greater things than most people can imagine.
Made a difference in someones life

And there's so much else I know I did. A year is such a short but long time.

And this is some of what I hope to accomplish in 2011;

Grow more in God, but clearly that is a given

Have my lifegroup grow by 5 girls regularly coming out

Have Maygan and Breanna Regularly come to wildifre

See my Lifegroup girl start to give back. And be their generations leaders.

Finish my next semester with nothing lower than a B

Start my Autocad certificate

Finish my portfolio

Go out and talk to several local Interior designers

Go to another country. England?

Take a road trip

Get my N

Save 2000+ more dollars

Learn something new (piano, surf)

Finish an entire sketchbook

Spend more time reading less time on the computer\

Get my first tattoo or two.

It all starts with God and then me. I know I won't get any of this done unless I commit to it. I often write down what I want to change or do, or set goals for myself. I end up getting dissapointed becuase half of them never happen. Sometimes life gets in the way, and I have to make the effort to not let the less important tedious things stop this list from getting accomplished. Maybe not all this year but in the next few.
