i did alot of thinking on our familie's weekend roadtrip...

one of the biggest things i've realized is how much i've grown and matured over the past year.

2008, well it was a rough year for many reasons. and yes, i did cause most of the pain myself.
but hey, i learnt from it all.

if you compare this summer to summer last year, i have completly changed.
no longer working till 11-12 at night. coming home at ridic. hours. being snarly and rude to my family.

i can actually have a good conversation with my dad. and my mom (most days! :P)

and i have tried so many new things this past year too!

some bad ideas (cue memory of rollercoaster at west ed mall), some good ideas (falling in love with my best friend).

and yes. I have fallen in love.
i dont care if people say we're too young, and we choose a really crappy time to do it (i'm moving across the country a month after he comes home for good), but i'm happy. i'm complete.
and thats all that matters, right?

to here's to a new year, a new life, a new you!
whenever you actually realize it!
