Things I Learned in 2007

I learned how to trust my instincts.
How to read a credit report.
My family is one of the most important things in my life.
Home will always be home no matter how far I go.
I am capable of leaving everything behind and starting fresh.
I am also capable of coming back and remembering that its ok.

I prefer to be around people then to be alone.
I need my space every once and a while.
Being part of a couple makes some people boring.
I am worth fighting for.
Tattoo’s on your wrist don’t hurt.
Being too drunk is not attractive and drinking in general is not all that important.

I would move to Charleston, SC in a heartbeat.
I find big city living unappealing but still miss living there all the time.
Driving for 13 hours sucks.
Everything is better on the beach.
I have had an amazing life.
A 24 year old can raise 5 wonderfully well adjusted children.

God loves me and the church is not that scary.
I hate telling people bad news.
I am getting better on confronting people and my fears.
I love roofing and witnessing progress.
I am capable of blind love for another.
I love sailing but I could never live on a boat.

I don’t like grits no matter how many times I try them.
Breakfast for dinner will always be my favorite meal.
My time in SC was irreplaceable.
Always wear underwear.
I self medicate to hide my insecurities.
I am much stronger than I think I am.

My family's compassion and ability to love amazes me everyday.
Bourbon = hangover.
There are far worse places to be than Long Island.
My choices define my character and vice versa.
I am ready for the unknown.
I am capable of much more than I ever dreamed possible.
