So much to write about!!!
I have no idea where to start. I really am not very good at this whole blogging thing I have realized. I really have had so much going on in the two months I haven't been on here, whether they be the amazing life lessons or just challenges that made me more grateful for everything I have.
Let's start with the amazingly funny stuff!!!
I have been blessed to have amazing friends who make me laugh no matter what time of day. My two friends and I wanted to have a girls night so we went to dinner and were waiting for one of my friends parents to pick us up so we are like "Hey... Let's go to Starbucks!" We walk to starbucks in our five inch heels sit down and decide to take pictures. These RANDOM guys wanted us to take a picture of them so we did but my camera died... to make a long story short these guys were completely hitting on us and we decided to write two numbers on the back of the receipt, one was the rejection hot line number and the other was this girls number. It was so funny and actually was completely random. It was a good chance for all of us to actually sit there and be able to talk, that to me is really important.
I have realized, today mostly, I have had an extreme blessing in my life to have the people I do in my life. I have dealt with some weird stuff lately but honestly without some people keeping me strong and keeping me smiling I could not be who I am.
There are a group of people (who know who they are) who have made me into the person I am today. I have such amazing adults in my life to make it so much easier and just a lot happier. I am definitely not who I was this time last year, I look at so many things from last year and realize I have changed in so many ways. I stopped living by the stupidness of friends and started worrying more on school and the people who I know are worth my time. I can honestly say that if you look at who I was a year ago to the person I am now that you will definitely see a change and hopefully for the better. (There is more after the pictures! I know I know I write a lot but hey it's been two months!)
The church has become more and more important to me because of the people who have helped me. Not only has the church become more important, it has been a way of making me feel better about myself and more grateful for what I have. We have an amazing Young Women's program and that is all because of the leaders, the new ones and the just released ones. Those leaders have strengthened all of the girls there.
I still am so proud of the lives that those important people to me live. They make me strive to be the people they are, and that wont be an easy thing because they are some AMAZING people.
This year I have definitely lost some friends and am grateful that they are no longer in my life because it only makes me gain respect for those friends who make life worth living. I have learned you don't always realize how bad things were until that certain situation was all over. Heroes to me are people who pull everything together even on a bad day. With the adults that are a part of my life and the friends at school I have, that is all I need to be a better person and all I need to truly succeed. I really hope these people (who should know who they are) know how much I deeply love them and that I have amazing amounts of respect for them.
I have dealt with witnessing harsh and scary things along with facing somethings I didn't think would happen for a long time. I witnessed a man getting hit by a car in front of his child by some woman on drugs and I also faced losing someone who was a big part of my childhood. Nicole VonRuden was an amazing woman who was diagnosed with a tumor on her brain stem back in 2002. She lived an amazing life and did not let the tumor stop her. She believed in everyone and everything. Finding out she died August 7Th 2008 was something I didn't expect to happen but now I know that she is better and happier. She is so so greatly missed and always will be. Her smile burned into everyone's heart when you saw her.
I have been dealing a lot with everyone's different views on Prop 8 (forgive me if this is a touchy subject for you) I have continued to think about the way people see it. To me it seems like people are taking it to an extreme and making it appear like some kind of "hate crime" when it is just people having different views on life, which everyone is entitled to.
I cannot get over how blessed I have been and how much love people show me. I could never thank the people in my life enough. I really don't see where I could be in life today without the adults and friends who pull me along.
I am definitely a happy camper and no one can kill that. I hope the people in my life know how grateful I am and know that they can conquer anything as long as they believe in themselves, laugh, and smile, and you are good!
Love you all!!!!
Two weeks ago at school we got our graduation packets for our invites and cap and gowns. Let me tell you something... Sitting down with my mom and ordering stuff was the weirdest thing in the world along with the fact that it hit me hard that in 8 months I will be done with High School and hopefully off to San Luis Obispo for college (don't worry Sister Conroy, Sister Taylor, Sister O'Malley, and Sister Rigby, I will come visit as much as possible because I would miss you guys too much.)
I cannot believe I am a Senior this year and also how fast the year is going by for me. I guess the way I am going along in school is the way to continue!I am no longer worried about a social life because the only people worth spending time with are the ones who care.
Well, now it is about 1 o'clock and time for me to go to bed. I will write tomorrow!
Goodnight everyone who looks at this!
Remember to Live,Laugh, and Love but also to Smile, Laugh, and Remember who you are.
