Crea Diem: 2009 Summarized

This year has probably been one of the best years of my life, but also one of the hardest. I´ve done so many great things, I´ve got to see and experience more than I ever could imagine and I met people that mean the world to me. I´ve also had to say goodbye to a lot of things, and people, which has been the hardest thing I´ve ever done. I thought I was going to summarize the year with some of the things I remember the most!

The year started different from any other. I was in Johnstown, Pennsylvania with my host family to spend time with my host dad´s family. They were amazing people and I´m so glad I got to meet them and be there with them. Couple of weeks later it was time for my 20th birthday. Also different from any other, got the biggest cake ever and celebrated with my friends. The same day I met Julia L for the first time, one of the best girls I know. The day after, Julia and I went to DC to see the Inauguration concert We Are One. The feeling we felt from being at that place at that time was incredible. The hope that was in the air when Obama entered the stage and the enthusiasm from the people, you could almost touch it. It sure was a good way to celebrate that I was 20!

A month later another Julia came into my life, also one of the best girls! I´m so glad I got to know both of the Julia´s! We are amazing!
We had a super bowl party at our house, because of the Steelers being in it. And the Steelers won for the 6th time which made them historic. Around the same time I also reached half time in the US and started to feel the pressure.

In March I and Elin went to New York City and spent an awesome weekend hanging out in the big apple. Love you girl! We all went to DC for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival to watch the beautiful Cherry Trees and take pictures of them. During the spring I went to two college classes at NOVA community college, a different and good experience.
