so i've come to realize that the year 2010 will forever be etched in my mind as "the year i lived in peru". how cool is that? i personally think it's wicked cool. the year brought, as every year does, good times and bad times. but i feel overwhelmingly (is that even a word? please forgive my improper english if it isn't.) blessed because the good time exceedingly outnumbered the bad times in 2010. which i think is the most important. i'm learning that life isn't supposed to be all flowers and butterflies and happiness all the time. it's not always going to be easy, but God will remain faithful and will always be with you. i know that because He said he would, and He always keeps his promises. i didn't always know it at the time, but looking back now, i can see that God was with me every step of the way this past year.
and now for some highlights of 2010:
