The New Year and Such

So, we are about two years into 2009.  What a year it has been thus far.  This past year was a big year for me I guess you would say, what with me graduating and all, starting college,  and many other things.  All in all though it was a great year for me.  It was one in which i probably grew more than i have in any year in the past.  Even now as we speak, or as a i type i should say, i'm in a motel in jacksonville, florida preparing for the gator bowl tomorrow between my clemson tigers and the nebraska cornhuskers.  I guess that is rather trivial.  Many steps in the direction of adulthood have been taken this year (albeit i'm still far far from an adult).  There have been lots of struggles and hard times, but i have been able to make it through; only through the help of Christ.  It has been a year of new experiences, new people, relationships, places, feelings, food, and many other things, and i just hope that as i continue on this journey so aptly named life, and continue to encounter these things, i can do so with pride and confidence because i know that i am a friend of God, and He calls me friend.  Nuff said :-)

I must be off to bed so i can get an early start to watch the tigers shuck some corn[huskers].

Peace
