this past year

So here goes my fist posting - I hope I can do this. It's so much pressure!! Will my blog live up to all the other awesome, famous blogs before me??! (like my friend Gina's or Peggy's) Well, I will at least give it a go!

A year ago today I bought this car. I named her Sophia Solara. We haven't bonded as much as I would like. However, I splurged and got this convertible. I can't believe it's been a year. So much for me has changed. I'm in a much better position in my job and I'm also in a new apt. (which isn't entirely a shocker for you all who know me well know I move all the time - just call me a nomad)

I've been able to travel over this past year to some nice places, my favorite being Alaska!

There have been so many changes this past year! I have to say that 2010 has been a much better year for me than the 2 years prior. Those were some tough times... but God is still good. He is shaping me into the person he wants me to be. And I've learned so much..even though it has been painful. I know that through pain we learn so much more. Like Switchfoot says, "It's when you're breaking down with your insides coming out is when you find out what your heart is made of." Yeah, I would have much rather learned without having my heart ripped out over and over again..but would have I really learned?? That's the question.
