2011 in review

This year has seriously been amazing! Having so many opportunities just bless a girl like me and participating with the amazing friends i have just makes it even better.

This year was a serious year, i had my first level of Exams that the Lord helped me through, I promise to study this year. I planned the trip of a life time with these people:

L-R: Jordan, Daniel, Jessica, and me :)

remember my post about them being my travel buddies?

So in summer of 2011 i went to America and it was off the rails!! Seriously i didn't think i could be so blessed to know a group of people that i had only known for a year or so! We got up to so many things like going to our first Braves game,

and going to some beautiful places, 

oh and summer camp, that was AMAZING! 

God just showed up and was so powerful, i met some lovely new friends and reconnected with some i wasn't close to from previous years! 

meet Toree

and Bekah

they made sure i had the time of my life and that i was never alone! 

I will forever be grateful to Riverstone church for bringing a summer camp to Scotland and letting me go to theirs. 

These next people you are about to meet are life changing! They allowed me to stay at their home for 3 weeks and they are my role models! 

far left is Lisa and far right is Jessica.

They are like a second mother and my fourth sister that i can see in summer! :) Skype dates are just great with them! 

Back in Scotland we had our summer camp: 

Even though the group is so small, EVER year, without fail, God shows up and breaks our hearts for more of Him. It is the week I look forward to every year. And has been the highlight to my summer for the past 4 years! 

Just last month I went up to North Berwick with a group of friends for a fun day trip. We climbed most of the way up this hill and really just caught up with friends after so long of being a part.

This year I got a sudden urge for baking/cooking, I have always loved it but when i got a job, and i made all the food, I got challenged and I loved it! i especially love baking cupcakes and cakes and hopefully we will see more baking blogs around here soon! I am going to be in a cooking competition at the end of January, and i'll be sure to let you know how I got on :) 

L-R: Me, Angelina, Francesca

This Year i have became super close to these two girls, they are sisters, their bond is so different from my older sister and I, They are like best friends and tell each other everything. I love them both so much! 

This is my year and I am excited for the next one! I am excited to grow closer to God and Challenge my cooking and my Photography. This next year in School I need to work hard for my important exams, I have America to look forward to again and then Scotland camp and hopefully I will get into my photography class in school in the term after summer :)

How has your year been?
