Favorite Moments from 2007...

Inspired by my friend Nate Hughes' blog Ive decided to show my 2007 highlights. Most of my stories Ive linked to a blog entry that I wrote during that time. So if you missed something throughout the year you can go back in time to that entry...

January 2007
New Years last year was in the States and just seconds into the New Year one my my dearest friends Heidi Mae got engaged...















I flew back to Slovenija just in time for our annual youth conference in Cakovec, Croatia.













February 2007
JV Womens Conference was in Rome this year... I stood in this field on Palatine Hill and just soaked in the presence of the Lord. It was a precious moment...
















March 2007
Our church went to Crikvenica, Croatia. I LOVE our church retreats. My dear Neja got baptized! AND, Naja was baptized also, earlier in March! This is also my birthday month. 26years old this month!

Then I found myself in North Carolina with Robyn. We picked strawberries, went on a bike ride, the house got robbed, we sipped lemonade while sitting in rocking chairs on the porch, I got stuck overnight in a sketchy hotel in Chicago... Was that only 3 days?!?!
















I found myself in Portland as a bridesmaid at Heidi's wedding.



















And lastly I landed in Kent, WA with the family, for about 3 days.

Jackson Girl Christmas...oh and Terry too, of course! One of the best Christmas Ive had!













Wrapping it all up...
Well as I look at my favorite 2007 moments I see that April was the only month I did not leave the country of Slovenija. I was in the states 2 times, Czech 3 times, Croatia many times, and in many other countries, again, many times. I really travel a lot... I live a pretty exciting life. Its no wonder that this year marks the most Ive ever been sick. In this life I live, I am always surrounded by dear people that I love. Although at times I feel lonely as I look over my life last year, I am definitely not walking through life alone. In fact, the Lord has heaped his blessings upon me. What a year!!
