2009 Reflection

2009 was a very eventful year. Many memories were made that will never be forgotten; some good and others we wish we could forget. One of the first events of the year was the Ice Storm. I will never forget it. 95% of the town was with out power anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks. Luckily my house was part of the 5% that didn't lose power. Although it wasn't as fun as some people think. Even though we still had heat and electricity we had to share. My grandparents, my mom's friend's family, and my 2 best friend's family's all stayed at our house for those 2 weeks until we went back to school, then they were still living at our house for a few days after that. It was fun because you always had someone to talk too and play with, but it was also uncomfortable because their were 13 people staying in a 3 bedroom house.
Another event that I won't forget is my church's mission trip to Camp Loucon during spring break. I won't forget this because I helped haul trees, that had been damaged from the ice storm, a week straight and you still couldn't tell that we had made much of a difference. We chose Camp Loucon as our place to work because everyone in my youth group had gone to church camp their at least once, and most of us had gone numerous times, and we new how much Camp Loucon meant to us and we wanted others to be able to have the same experience as us.
2009 will be a year I never forget.
