Kiss The Night Goodbye

*Happy New Year 2008*

It was kind of funny this morning as the ball dropped, people cheered, glasses clinked and I literally kissed 2007 goodbye. Now normally and I was quite certain after the terrible 2006 I had; that I loved saying so long to years. This year however I felt a slight sadness. I tried so hard to make 2007 a wonderful year. It was, the best year I have ever had! In 2007 I graduated from highschool and started college. In 2007 I said goodbye to my bitter broken heart and took a chance, saying hello to the guy of my dreams. In 2007 I hoped, prayed, and feared for the new and different changes. I realized though that I became closer to god. I came to an extreme and real faith inspired revelation. I saw that god is never far behind me, he will never let me down, and he will always be there when I need him. So as I kiss the year 2007 goodbye so tenderly I will open my eyes and passionately look forward to not only 2008, but my future that awaits me.

So Blogger buddies ( or even just Jordan) Here is a new list I make for myself.

5 Things I Am Going To Love In 2008!

5) Having a boyfriend : One that believes in me and one that no matter how many Tuesday nights or missed phone calls there is I can't help myself falling so hard for.

4) Getting A Job: Not just the afterschool/summer job that I have been breaking my back trying to find, but also my dream job. The job I have been waiting for a long time. To take all my hard work and dedication. To finally become a Pastry chef.

3) Externship/ College Graduation: To be able to "go to Boston" or "a new town and leave it all behind". To go to a place where nobody knows me, where I am judged on my integrity and work ethic. To get out of this town I am living in and travel to somewhere I could only dream about. It will be scary, but I am sure extremely worth everything.

2) Turning 20: Two decades of my life, two ten year pieces that I can never get back. 20 years of emotions, memories, blood, sweat, tears; hopes, fears and dreams. So many things, things to remember, things to forget and things that made me the offical women I will become. I will no longer be considered one of those naieve teenagers, I will be an adult.

1) The MUSIC!: From new songs from existing artists to new artists with old and new songs, and hopefully a few favorites in between. I believe 2008 is going to be a year of amazing music. I can't wait to hear bands, see bands, feel music and fall in love with everthing I hope and believe music stands for again and again.

While 2007 pretty much rocked I hope that in 2008 I can roll with everything that comes my way. From Valentine's to 2009 I am going to live, love and be me. "I am the only me there will ever be." So why not set myself free this year. I hope and pray 2008 finds us all well, safe and happy.
