Last night, I welcomed the new year in a seniors hall in Maces Bay (aka the sticks) with cups of sparkling apple cider and my youth group peeps. We then proceeded to welcome the new year further with frozen chinese food and nachos (weird mixture, when you think about).
The New Year's all nighter was probably the most fun I've ever had on New Year's Eve. Sure, I was tired, grumpy, and refused to go sledding in the dark immediately after being told a story about the sliding hill (a) being by what used to be a dump, (b) the bears that used to hang out there, (c) the coyotes and (d) a black panther being spotted there. But overall, it was a fun time. I'm pretty happy that I get to sleep in a bed tonight, as opposed to last night where I slept on the floor. I somehow managed to sleep solid from 3am to 8am, despite the hard floor, the lights on, and Rock Band turned up about ten feet away. I guess a summer in Kenya did me good, as far as being able to sleep in any situation goes.
I have a few New Years resolutions to share:
1) The most boring first: get rid of the holiday weight I've gained. I swear I started stuffing my face on the 25th and haven't stopped yet.
2) Get a better camera and take more pictures.
3) Practice guitar enough that I feel comfortable playing in front of (small groups of) people.
4) Write in my journal every day this year. Ambitious, am I not?
5) Read the Bible, cover to cover, through the year. I think I might be overestimating how much motivation I have.
I have a new writing project underway, but I'm not going to tell you guys about it yet.
Love,
-J-
