. drank loads of bubble tea, mostly with my tracy friend .
. met nate and jaclyn kaiser and jasmine star .
. got my hair cut shorter .
. then grew it back out a bit .
. considered growing it back out all the way again, but decided to hold off because jasmine and nate both told me i had cool hair . (this is always subject to change)

. enjoying that with every twist and turn in life there's always room for change and better yet, improvements .
. getting dressed up all fancy and stuff .
. for a big party, that was a bit of a let down, mainly because i'm not into the kind of parties where you have to yell in your friends ear just to chat . :) fuddy duddy, i know . getting all dressed up was my favorite part . oh and taking fun snapshots with friends .
. rang in the new year by watching and photographing a beautiful home birth .

. braved getting a tattoo . i'm tougher than i thought . it says 'it is well with my soul' . always a good reminder .
. frequenting goodwill, stuff, houseworks, salvation army and all those great places to see what treasures i may find .
. i've gotten involved in a great connection group through my church, the ladies in this bible study are great knitters, i love watching them do their thing as we discuss God's word .
. i'm sure there's more, but i'm going to let that do for catching us up . hopefully more to come soon .
