For the first time ever, I had a friend from out of town come to my house to visit ME specifically. She just decided to come see me. I go on so many road trips to see people, that I've never felt the blessing of someone driving HOURS just to visit me, for no real reason at all except just for fun. Not that I'm taking for granted all the times shuk has come to town, but that's different. He's friends with my whole family and he would come here even if I weren't in town (not that I don't like that, like I said, its just different). But being on the other side and having someone visit me... I really appreciated it. It was so random and nice. I really hope my friends appreciate and love my visits as much as I appreciated and loved yesterdays visit. I always go to people. It was a nice change to be on the other side. I almost didn't know what to do with myself.

The new year is approaching very quickly. A new decade. New changes. New friends. New job(s). New love-interest(s). New decisions to make. New places to travel. New things to experience. New reasons to hurt. New reasons to heal. Am I spelling "new" right? I've typed it so many times that it doesn't even look like a real word, anymore. New dreams. New homes. New tattoos. New records. New family members (hopefully someone gets married). New reasons to get up in the mornings. New car (at least my first one). New responsibilities. New bills. New fulfilled prophecies. New church to attend. New things to learn about myself. Same God to guide me through it. A lot happens in ten years.

Leah and I are going vegetarian next year EXCEPT our birthdays, thanksgiving and christmas. It'll be an experience. Haha hopefully a GOOD experience. I sure am going to miss my tacos and famous dave's burgers, though. =(
