Today, a friend asked me to "describe 2010 in less than 10 words." Well, that was easy for me, as I only needed one word: Change. My 2010 can be completely described by the word change. Granted most of this change started in May, but it was all nonetheless life changing. I broke up with Matt, lost friends, met tons of people, made new friends, added a minor, changed classes at work, went to camp as a counselor for a week, became a leader of CAB, became a CollegeLife (YL) leader, helped out with pageant, and tried SO many other new things! Looking at my life a year ago, I can't believe how different I am. 2010 was a year of heartbreak, success, laughter, pain, joy, failure, mistakes, growth, fun and most importantly, finding myself and my faith. 2010 might have been the most up and down year of my life, but it sure has been one of the best.

My friend later asked me "If I asked you the same question in a year, how would you want to answer." That was a little tougher for me. I replied that I'd like to answer that it was a year of growth...in a lot of different ways. Obviously, I'd like to grow spiritually, falling deeper in love with my Savior, but I'd also like it to be a year of personal growth and continuing to find myself. I'd like to see myself have motivation for things I've never had motivation for and to pursue those wholeheartedly, I'd like to see myself focus more on strengthening relationships that I already have created, instead of having a large number of "acquaintances," I'd like to see myself, in a sense, stop trying to please everybody, or be accepted by those that don't want to accept me. God has a reason for everything, and I'm so absolutely excited to see what kinds of opportunities He puts in front of me in 2011.

So there's my cliche "new year" post! :) I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday! :)
