In Memory of 2006

its 2007, folks.
can you believe it?
i can.

2006 was so jammed pack with life that if the new year hadn't come, I think 2006 would have exploded.

I remember standing in Downtown Disney with my wonderful friend Katie a little over a year ago, counting down the last minute of 2005. Tears came to my eyes when the clock struck midgnight, and I looked at Katie and said, "I'm going to miss 2005, it was possibly my best year so far. I don't know if 2006 will be able to match it."

I was so naive back then.
2006 trumped 2005.
Hands down.

But this year, I have learned my lesson:

I didn't shed a tear when 2006 walked away, because 2007 walked in.

This year is already off to a good start too. I got to praise God at midnight, I got to spend time with my good good good friend Jenna, and on new years day I got to drive home from san luis obispo down the 101, looking at a beautiful spotty-cloud dusk, and listening to Anathallo. That, my friends, was amazing.

happy new year and all that jazz.
I hope and pray that we all allow 2007 to be the best yet.
