i am so excited for 2011.
two of the many things i'm most excited for;
my best friend/idol/singing partner/driver/iron man/greatest person ever brought to earth/brother is coming home from his mission in mexico. i remember when we dropped him off at the MTC. my mom shedding a few tears (as she should), my siblings choking up, my dad being so proud, and me having a flash flood on my face. when we gave him our last hugs and goodbyes, he began to walk towards the MTC doors, turned around and gave a typical "yeah buddy" wave, and walked into the MTC. that was the last time i saw my brother (in person), and it would stay that way for 730 days. most families are nothing but excited when someone in their family enters the MTC. i wanted to light the building on fire. i cried all day, and fell asleep exhausted. i remember praying that he wouldnt be lonely in there, and that he got the note i left in his bathroom bag...
i'm going to graduate from school. (i think i just blew myself away, thats so soon!) but yes, this little ginger is going to graduate from hair school, and is going to have a career that she can support herself with for the rest of her life. i'll be 19 when i graduate, and this leaves the window of opportunities wide open. if i want more schooling, i can go for it, if not i can live off of cosmetology. lately i've heard too many stories about wives loosing their husbands to a nasty addiction to pornography, and their left helpless. so many young girls get married, without an education, they lose their loved one, and their stuck. i'm not going to let myself be one of those girls.
2010 was wild, but i am beyond ready to have a fresh year and a new start. i have so many things to be thankful for...
being a member of an undefeated drill team, and making drill teams from across the state cry in the fetal position when we earned THREE first place state titles. i'm forever grateful for my team, who were, and still are my best friends. and for a coach who loved the sport, and who loved us. she did WAY MORE then she was ever paid for.
being blessed with two little bundles of joy. abigail walters, and mason moore. my newest niece and nephew :) i'm so happy that i live only 20 minutes away from little mason. he's already a stud and he's only 10 months old.
graduating from high school and dipping out of moses lake. i have the biggest amount of washington pride, but i am so glad i left. one of the MANY things i've learned from college is that literally no one cares who you were in high school. welcome to the real life.
i had my first puppy love relationship. and i loved every second of it. but there's a time for everything, and the time for that ended. i'm ready for my new likes and loves of 2011.
i went through the good, and the baaaaadd. i got a lot of tough love, and i'm glad it's all over. i'm thankful for the good that came out of it, and the new outlook i got from it.
i'm most thankful for my family, and my close friends. duh.
i'm not holding anything back in 2011, and i just hope my dad is willing to come break me out of jail if he has to. (jokes mom, jokes)
