I turned 24 this year. I had a party at the Ballantyne Resort with about 10 of my close friends. We lounged on the roof top pool all day and then headed downtown for the night. Kaylen came in from Atlanta, and Nick came from Miami. It was a really fun time and we have some great memories from that weekend we can still laugh about.

What didn't? I can't find a single issue that I agree with our current President about so that caused quite a lot of stirring the entire eyar!

I met a whole new group of friends through my church and my Home Fellowship Group. Grace and I grew up knowing who each other were but we were never friends. We "met" this year as well as Jennifer Bridges who has become a sweet friend. And I also met a new family in Guatemala of about 500 kids that I ADORE!
