I'm stealing this from Liser...
15 years ago, I...
1. Wanted to marry Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid
2. Stole Keith Hackleman's "Beauty and the Beast" book out of his cubby
3. Loved to play dress up with my brother and sister more than anything
4. Was so scared that when I left my house it was going catch on fire and burn down that I would take all of my favorite belongings with me in the car
5. Broke my wrist on Christmas Eve and got a neon pink cast to wear
10 years ago, I...
1. Won a writing contest in the newspaper and got four tickets to see Nickalodeon's Double Dare live
2. Felt grown-up because I had a job of walking my neighbor's dog every day for a dollar
3. Spent the night at Sea World with the penguins
4. Learned that winning isn't always everything...
5. Experienced death for the first time when my Aunt Joy died of cancer
5 years ago, I...
1. Became incredibly passionate about swimming
2. Had my first kiss
3. Made an incredibly hard transition from my small private middle school to the big public high school
4. Became super close to Liser :-)
5. Finally understood what it meant to have faith in God
3 years ago, I...
1. Really learned what it meant to be in a relationship
2. Made the best friend I have ever had, Samantha!
3. Got my driver's license and finally felt like I had real freedom
4. Completely surrendered my life to God
5. Thought that I would be going to Wheaton for college
2 years ago, I...
1. Had one of the best years of my life
2. Placed third in State in the 100 backstroke
3. Had so much fun being a rebel with Samantha...
4. Discovered my passion for leading worship
5. still thought I wanted to go to Wheaton
1 year ago, I...
1. Realized God was calling me to Whitworth, not Wheaton
2. Felt caught between two worlds
3. Struggled with being in a long distance relationship
4. Grew closer to my family
5. Had no idea what was going to be in store for me
This year, I...
1. Said good bye to everything I ever knew and left Texas to make a new life for myself, becoming completely independent...
2. Had my heart broken
3. Learned what it meant to rely on God and to place my identity in Him
4. Trained harder in swimming than I ever have before
5. Met an incredible guy who has pointed me back to God throughout all situations
Yesterday, I...
1. Went to the park with Nate for hours, just enjoying the sun
2. Skipped swim practice!
3. Talked to my daddy for a long time
4. Got sunburned
5. slept in
Today, I...
1. Went to another park with Dave, Annie, and Nate and once again skipped swim practice ;-)
2. Had a mock interview for youth internship
3. Prayed
4. Was told I was beautiful
5. Ate a delicious ice cream cone with sprinkles
