December 30, 2008- TCS # 129

OK, Everyone, You know what time it is. It’s getting close to New Year’s Eve, Watching the ball drop, and the New Year of 2009 to come. But, WAIT. What about 2008? Well, I have to admit that 2008 wasn’t the best of years for everyone but, I feel like I need to review it and not because I want to talk about the hardships of it but, more for the fun for remembering the past year. So, without further a due here is Christian’s Year-In-Review 2008. As with any year-in-review we have to start in January. My year 2008 kicked off great until My Brother Michael decided to move out of the house in January. My Mom and I weren’t too happy about it and we were sad for while. But, it turned out to be fine. On January 23rd I was looking at You tube videos and I ran into one from a guy named Steve Williams who calls himself “The Georgia Road geek” because he makes videos of him driving down roads in the State of Georgia and around it, showing the road signs and other things. I thought it was really cool. On February 1, 2008 was the first “State of The Metro Area Address” in the Christianville Metro Area. The changes effected by the address were Christianville’s Beltway named Geography Loop was renamed to Geography Beltway. Also, Geography Pkwy.(the road that goes to GCI Airport was extended to G-Honey Frwy. 3 miles East of Downtown Christianville. In March, was Grandma Honey’s famous Surprise party which was really awesome because My Uncle Bruce setup a video of people telling her Happy Birthday in a “This is Your Life” style and she had to guess who said it to her. April 2008 was a sad and scary month because on April 10 there was squall line of storms which brought an F-1 Skipping Tornado to rip through Plano and the sirens of The City of Plano did not go off which was very scary. And, now for the sad part; on April 17, My Grandpa Popi (or Budsy) passed away which was really sad for The Smith Family. May of 2008 was a quiet month. In June, was our annual trip to the beach in Gulf Shores, AL. on July 5, I stopped talking to my now former friend, Madison Shields because she was not being very nice to me. On August 11th, 2008 at 1:12 PM I turned 21 Years Old, that is an awesome time ones life and My Mom was happy because she didn’t have to worry about me going out and getting drunk which 21 year olds do but, I don’t. On September 1, I had to quit my First Job because Madison was bullying me and I didn’t want to deal with it anymore. September 24, was a very sad day because my dig Sophie was getting old and sick so, we had to put her to sleep and she passed away. On October 8, I wrote the 120th Christianville Spirit which was very exciting for me because I was amazed that I’ve written that many newsletters. On October 22, My Mom and I went on to the M-Line Trolley which runs along a historic street called McKinney Ave. near Downtown Dallas. On November 16-20, was The 4th Christian’s Best Friends’ Festival in Downtown Christianville which was very exciting. On December 21, we decided to adopt a German Sheppard mix and we decided to name her Zoe. And, she is cute as ever. And, Finally, I wrap up my 2008 Year-In-Review by telling you that December 29th I had all 4 of my Wisdom Teeth removed and it quite a thrilling surgery. All in all, 2008 has been a good year but, it wasn’t the greatest. But, I believe that 2009 will an awesome year.

(For the last time in 2008)
Thanks for reading The Christianville Spirit. I hope you had at least a good year of 2008 and I’ll see you back here for another year of exciting and touching newsletters in 2009!
