36. Who was the best new person you met? I have met the most wonderful people this year....but my money is always on my B...every year he will be the best new person I have met. Everyday we learn more about each other. He has changed my life in so many ways that I do not have the words to say "Thank you"
37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009. Good things happen to good people
38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year..Now don't laugh..but my song for 2009 was "The Climb" by Hannah montana
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
