My friend from Norway is visiting! I met her in NZ in 04, then in the USA,
then in Australia, then when i was living in germany i went to spend the
weekend with her in oslo.. now on her way to Hawaii with her mom she stopped
by to see me! I love meeting people and staying in touch.. the world of
computers and facebook..

we went to a silent disco! So a DJ plays and we all have headphones to be
able to hear. It is so rad.. you can go walk out on the beach, or boogie
where you are.. the funniest was watching people walk by who didn't know
what was going on.. a bunch of people dancing in silence.. so sweet!!

There is a reason i have been going to phish shows for 16 years.. there is a
reason why i would fly, drive for 27 hours, pay way too much... and just
love every minute.. because this band makes me feel like no other! I love
Phish!!

Off to another show.. in rockstar status! We rented a 15 person van and had
one of those epic nights. One more of those nights where i went "really?
this is my life! i am sooo lucky!!" This is jeffro.. i met him on jamcruise.
We spent tons of time together last weekend. He is really just one of those
people that I feel like i have known my whole life. And well those eyes are
kinda dreamy......

repack and head out to yet another music festival! I wonder what the
neighbors think!

365 days.... over 3 continents, 8 countries, 6 states, countless
festivals, shows and parties. I have made more amazing friends, became even
closer with the ones I had. I became an Auntie for the first time! I lost
45lbs! and counting... 15 to go! I realized that I am so much better single!
And that is ok.. that being comfortable with myself, happy, and living my
dreams is more important than anything else. I will find that perfect person
when the time is right, and until then I am happier then I have ever been
before. I have made more leaps and bounds in my personal growth this year
than any year before.. I can feel and see the changes within me. I am beyond
thankful! I am so happy it was all going on during a year that i was photo
blogging.. Thank you sarah for all your hard work! Thank you ladies for all
your amazing comments, and support.. This really has been an amazing
experience, and my life as always is so much better when it is shared!!
Next year.. will be even better than the last.... so much love and light to
you!
