As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

i am adding two more resolutions to my list:
- complain less
- be a nicer person
I had my bagel.
No NYE^2 this year but you got your POAB and perhaps... looking forward to possibly hosting again in two years time.
Philippians 3:12-14
New Year's Eve was comfortably spent at Vbear's place with hotpot and games. New Year's day was an adventure to Blue Mountain for Marly's second attempt at "snowboarding." I say adventure because we were on our last bar of gas and I had to keep driving onward in silent panic for several KMs looking for a frikkin gas station that was open. Anyways, I don't know how to snowboard and I ache all over but I've made significant improvement from two years ago when the only thing I learned to do was fall on my head. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
2009 was an amazing year... let's go back shall we?
- Laurier times... Jackie's BBQs, birthdays, karaokes, all-you-can-eat sushi buffets, Morty's wing nights EVERY Monday and Thursdays... what a life.
- Hello and goodbye to my favourite, most addicting game ever, Blockles. RIP.
- Sai aka Big Mama - you were the worst person possible to live with but without you, me Ira and Becky wouldn't have such hilarious and horrifying roommate stories to tell from 267 Hazel
- June 5 - GRADUATION. Who knew I would make it?
- Meeting Michael Mahonen, GUS from my fave childhood TV Show Road to Avonlea
- POA Boat
- Europe trip - I've gone to Ireland, my life is fulfilled. I have to go back to see the Westlife cliff still
- Sept 15, 2009 - you, me, TIFF, Nuit Blanche, XMAS party, Niagara Falls, etc. I am grateful
- Mississauga Honda - I hate it but I'll miss it. Thank you for taking off the SRS light that's been on my dashboard for at least 3 years
- Trying new/different things: Rock climbing, Blue Jay's game. Planting trees and going fly fishing (honestly my FAVOURITE DAY of 2009). FINALLY going to D&B, Sound of Music Musical, watching a meteor shower, going to U.S. side of Niagara Falls, taking kids out for Halloween.
Best year spent exactly the way I like it, and the Lord made it all happen for me and answered my prayers every single time. If I didn't have faith before, I am certainly alive in faith now
Now forget the past and LOOK FORWARD LOOK FORWARD LOOK FORWARD.
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
