In retrospect, its been an absolutely amazing year. I've learned a ton, strengthened my testimony of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, spent time with family and friends, set and reached goals, developed talents, and much more. Life is so dang fun!

ReplyDeleteGeez, Debbie, way to go! You should teach a class on concentrated blogging. I learned so much about the whole past year of your life in one great post. Remember how we used to play tennis together? That was so long ago! I'm happy for you and all the wonderful things you've accomplished since the tennis days in Merced. You're fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a year, Debbie! Glad I could be involved in some of it, and I'm sure your upcoming years will be just as, if not more, exciting and fulfilling!
ReplyDeletebusy year, deb. i'm glad you're loving life and the east coast. looking at everything you've done this past year is inspiring to think how much fun can be had in just one year. keep up the fun blogs. i haven't seen you in years, but this makes me feel like no time has passed.
