Godt Nytt År: 2009

Honestly, it hasn't been until today that I have thought to think of all the things that have happened this year:

I froze my ass swimming at Ocean Shores in January.

I played soccer on the beach in California.

I got cast as 'Angry Vagina' in PLU's Vagina Monologues.

I joined up with the 1 in 5 Campaign and emceed an event in The Cave.

I finished my last year of PLU softball.

I watched my first live birth and welcomed another niece into the world.

I volunteered.

I wrote a 20 page paper in Spanish, and graduated from PLU.

I watched one of my best friends from high school get married.

I spent more time in Seattle this past year than I have in my life I would guess...Pride Parade, Mariners Games, Pike Place, etc etc.

I reunited with a bunch of girls I studied with in Spain, spent a great weekend on Fox Island and boated under the Tacoma Narrows.

I hiked around Mt. Rainer, camped in the National Park and checked out Ruby Beach this summer on a great 3 week visit from Lars.

I chopped off 10 inches of my hair and donated it to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths!

I attempted two birthday surprises!

I moved to Norway, started taking Norwegian class and got a new job!

I traveled to Germany with Lars' family!

I spent my first Christmas away from my family and created a lot of new memories, traditions, and friends.

And finally, I lazily rang in the new year with Lars from our apartment balcony.
