I think Nathan and I won the inheritance with our gifts to Dad. Most definitely.
Scott and I totally did One under the streetlights on Hondo. Very few things are quite as enjoyable and nostalgic as that.
My new digital camera is fantastic! All I need is a memory card! And lithium batteries! But it's fantastic!
I'm many things. I'm happy, friendly, secure, pro-life, confused, talented, confusing, arrogant, passionate, and a host of other things. But one thing I'm definitely not is remarkable.
My grandparents are just the greatest people I know. Or anyone knows, for that matter.
Just in case you were wondering. Or even if you weren't.
"Making the best of it
Playing the hand you get
You're not alone in this"
So to trust your promises, O Lord
That I lose not faith's sweet consolation
Offered me within Your holy Word."
How true. How true.

There you have it. I'm sure there's more, but I'm not likely to remember even half of what happened this year.
I wonder what next year will be like. I have a feeling it will be very good, though. I've been strangely optimistic and peacefully happy as of late. I don't know why, and I don't know how to put it into words. But it's there, and I'm glad of it. It's gotten me through many difficult situations.
God is so, so good.
Psapp is another new music favorite. Most definitely.
I have a very very busy holiday schedule lined up. Oh me oh my. I love Christmas season.
"Be still, my soul, the Lord is on your side."
I'm very excited about seeing my friends home from college! It makes me so happy.
It looks like we're going to have a Premiere after all! This also makes me happy. Very much so, as I've been aching to see A Century of Broadway since before it was even performed!
Sweeney Todd. The Dark Knight. 27 Dresses. Atonement. Prince Caspian. The Bucket List. All of these movies have one thing in common: they are all highly anticipated!
And this is all for tonight. I hope you all are very blessed!
"I drove to New York
In a van, with my friend
We slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
In my mind, in my mind
I've made alot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind"
