New Year

It's been too long since I've posted, my apologies.
It's been a crazy year, full of laughter, sorrow, tears, and happiness. It's weird to think that just last year I was a junior, and now I'm completing my last semester of high school.
This post will just be reflecting on the highlights and some lowlights of this year with a picture, starting from January 1st 2015.

I had one of my longest friends over and they crashed a Cambodian New Years party. We were getting prepared for EPIC

Epic was a definite highlight! It was a great time for getting alone time and reflecting on 2014, and a time to get to know others better.

School camp, another highlight. We went to ADRA this year and it was a blast, the best camp ever. It was also the last time spending time with the whole graduating class of 2016 at Hope School.













Cambodian New Year was another highlight, as our family went to Siem Reap. It was fun as we were able to bond as a family and get to see the temples of Cambodia, which we hadn't seen before. 



















My sisters graduation was both a highlight and a lowlight, because it was a reminder that the class of 2015 were going to be gone, but it was a rejoicing because they graduated. It was a bittersweet moment and the graduation dinner was similar. 















Then came SUMMER! We spent summer with our good friends the Smiths and two college students we hosted, one a med student and one nursing. Summer was fun, thanks to the college students we were able to get out of the house and do stuff. We mainly went to Russian Market. We also were able to dress up in Cambodian clothing and make up, which was fun. 















Then comes the main lowlight of the year, finding out we were to going to America. It was the saddest moment, because my heart belonged to Cambodia, I didn't have many memories in the US. What made it worse was that, most of my friends were out of country, so I couldn't hangout with them and say bye. 
This leads up to my birthday, which was a bittersweet moment. I had to say bye, but we were together which was fun. I was able to say bye to the church and the leaders. I'm glad to have spent my 18th with them. 















Next comes Rampart, our new school. It was a shock at first, but now it's been better and I've adapted more. Homecoming was fun, it was the first football game I went to and the first American dance I've attended. It was fun! 















Thanksgiving was another highlight and my older sisters were able to come!













Then christmas break comes and ends it all. Christmas was fun, we opened gifts, and had our oldest sister come with her family. It was fun and relaxing. New Years Eve was fun, because we had a friend come, the nursing student from Cambodia. She visited us and well we had a good time. 















Thank God for 2015, lets have another great year guys!!!
Thank you and God Bless!!!!
