It's hard to believe that an entire year ago, I was racing down Immokalee Road, running 4 miles in the freezing cold to a bathroom, only to end up peeing my pants as I reached for the door handle. I still think it was a good way to start 2008.
Although 2009 probably didn't start so energetically, I still think it will be something I'll always remember.
I looked out my window at Gatlinburg...fireworks flooded the sky, cheering roared from the streets at the base of the mountain, lights flashed, noisemakers echoed throughout the mountains, and clouds of bubbles floated everywhere. My entire family was at the New Years Party downtown, but because I had been sick, I wasn't allowed to go. Instead I laid in my top bunk, under piles of blankets, still shivering until I got a call from Justin. He was supposed to be at a big New Years Party as well, but told me he had gotten sick and stayed home in bed... a weird coicidence, right?
We made each other a promise right then at midnight, and so I'm saving my first kiss of 2009 for him.
...It's been tempting though with all these babies here ;)
