Top Overall Thing about 2009: I loved touring downtown Pittsburgh, water-skiing, and picking oranges in Florida.

Well I can and can't believe it will already be 2010. It's crazy! This year actually hasn't been a very good year for me, though there has been lots of great things about it too... Anyways, tomorrow I might go to a professional basketball game with my bestie. But I am hesitant about spending $20 just for the darn ticket! Should I do it, or not? plus food (which is always pretty tempting!) so it would be about $25-30... errr.. decisions, decision. Yes, I do have Christmas money... but i have to save & tithe, so I won't have all that much spending money. gosh decisions are soo hard!

This is soo cute!

I am very excited. So excited I have a hard time concentrating on my algebra. HA! We have been frantically going shopping for gifts, and have gotten all our Christmas decorations out. I am looking forward to giving this year! well... and a littlle bit of receiving too. :D I am also excited about my first violin concert tonight. I have always played bymyself (solo) so it'll be fun playing with others.

Sorry i just had to do christmas colors. I know it doesn't really match with my blog, but who cares!

I think it's hard sometimes when we are frantically running around doing errands and getting ready for Christmas, that we forget to stop and think what the REAL meaning of Christmas is. It's not all about the presents (which i sometimes think it is), and it's not all about the food. It's about Christ being born, to save us from our sins! Redemption. I pray that I will not make Christmas being about something other. \

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

~Abby
