Happy New Year...though a little late!

I realized that I have not written a post since the new year, and thought I might as well do it now. I will start off by saying, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope I will have a great year, this year, considering there are SO many things to look forward to!! I am starting this Thursday to help in childcare at my church and I am getting payed $7.50 and hour for an hour and a half once a week! Then, my best friend and her family are coming to visit my family in April, and I am VERY excited!! I have not seen her since end of June '07!! I can't wait!! Then, in June ('09), my dad's side of the family is having a family reunion in Clamath Falls, Oregon in June. Then my family is heading up to Portland and Spokane to visit other family!! Busy year!! School is going well, though it was hard to come back to school, when I have had two weeks off!! Since my dad is in the Philippines right now, my mom was asked if the three of us (Mom, Nathan, and I) would like to spend part of a day or all day at her beach house with her. We went and had a great time!! We went to a diner, went in her hot tub, walked on the beach, and enjoyed the scenery. We did do SOME school though. We did history on the way up, and some for tomorrow on the way back. The lady who owns the beach house also told us some interesting things about the beach, so my mom can count that as a science lesson!! Well, I should be going. Hope you have a GREAT year!!!
