3. got a fantastic little rescue puppy
4. Read a lot - im on the 9th or so book of the left behind series
5. ive had an incredible opportunity to write and photograph, wrote about 90 published articles this year, and took a ton of picttures
6. got to spend a great amount of time with my family and friends, i really reflect on those moments and deeply appreciate them because I am so aware it can all change in a matter of seconds
7. i’ve donated a lot, over 20 bags of clothes, shoes, furniture, money to pet organizations, disease prevention. I never want a receipt for it, its right to do unselfish things.

2010
1. Travel even more. Will be starting off with a trip to Vegas and planning on seeing my Idaho Family then flying to Alaska where my bro is stationed in the summer
2. I’d like to do my best to stay at Belvoir, im always open to the idea of being anywhere, but i just have this feeling its where im supposed to be right now, kinda special. Oh and PLEASE to not be the only intern to not graduate DINFOS.. please be semi easy lol.
3. if i am lucky enough to keep my belvoir position I would like to get an apartment NORTH of post. That way i can be surper close and go against traffic. It would be GLORIOUS
4. take a photography and writing class to become even better
5. Enroll in Johns Hopkins, somewhere i can start my masters and hopefully get reimbursed
6. help others even more, volunteer to mentor perhaps
7. get student loans down and pay off as many bills as possible
8. learn to sail so well I could take the boat out on my own with confidence
“you can trip over stones, throw them or use them to build”

About me
24. Work for the govt. Army public affairs i LOVE it. lover of a quick wit, words, inspirational messages, English Bull Terrier, and photos that make me look at the world in a new way.
Quote I try to live my life by:
“Do as little harm to others as you can; make any sacrifice for your true friends; be responsible for yourself and ask nothing of others; and grab all the fun you can. Don't give much thought to yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow, live in the moment, and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos. When life lands a hammer blow in your face, do your best to respond to the hammer as if it had been a cream pie. Sometimes black humor is the only kind we can summon, but even dark laughter can sustain.” Dean Koontz
