I Could go on forever about how thankful I am...


Over the last year since I last sat back to reflect on what I am thankful for so many events have occurred. Life changing ones and of course the minor ones that are just memories. This past year has shown me who I really should be thankful for as well as what I should be thankful for. I have had a long and hard year, broken bones, surgeries, deaths and much much more. It has been a rough year but some how I have made it through. I have made it through with the people that I should truly be thankful for, the ones who have stood by me through so much and have listened to my every need. They have supported me and picked me up when I am falling. People may think its cliche to say all this but its true and I am not sure how else to say it. My support system is incredible. My family has stood with me as they always do. They have pointed new perspectives out to me and helped me to realize things will get better and will be okay when they are crashing around me. My mom talks to me about everything from how schools going to the latest drama that may be impacting me. I couldn't be more thankful for her and the opportunity I have to be completely open with her about everything. My dad isn't necessarily the one I go talk to about the latest drama or the latest fashions but my dad and I have this almost silent connection. He supports me through everything I do in a more silent way, one with less words. He doesn't have to say he is supporting me for me to know it. Although sometimes it is annoying he always pushes me and although it can be rather annoying to me I know it is truly because he cares and wants to see me do my best and for that I couldn't be more thankful. Then there are my friends. I don't even know where to begin. They are the most incredible people that are on this earth. They have done absolutely everything for me. You name it they have done it. Sometimes I do not know why or how they still are my friends but each and everyone of them has stood by me through every second of every tear, every laugh, and every moment. They are truly amazing. They come rushing to my side when I need it, listen to my every need, and remind me to take a deep breath and get through the moment. They have pushed me around in a wheel chair even when I was screaming at them that they were doing something wrong and some how they stayed calm and just kept on going. They have the patience of saints. They have stood by me when they couldn't console me because I was crying to hard or I thought the world was ending. They have helped me to change into a better person and realize who I really am. I am thankful for the strength and courage they have given me to go on and make it through the roughtest moments in my life. They provided me with the strength to get through each day and take the next step, to be able to move on. They have helped me achieve goals and get through disappointments. I could go on forever. They have done everything and have supported me through millions upon millions of things and for that I can't even begin to show how thankful I am. They mean the world to me. The fact that I know there are always people there willing to help at a moments notice gives me comfort and hope that things can change and become better. I love my friends and family and my incredible support system.I truly could go on forever about how thankful I am.
THANK YOU!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Remember to be truly thankful.

A Special Place

It has been way to long since I have written. My senior year has taken over my life! Since I last wrote school has started and Senior year is going much better than Junior year ever did. I love my classes that I am taking of course with exceptions here or there and I am just so thrilled it is my senior year I think I will be able to look past any negative situation in some positive form. Marching band and School are taking up all my free time. There is no time to be messing around, I am at school, doing homework, at a rehearsal, lesson or practicing it seems. So to take a break from the crazy month that it has been my family and I are going to be traveling to our favorite place! We will be spending the weekend in Vermont. There are so many memories there with my family and I feel like a part of me grew up there. Every winter my family would travel up there to ski until skiing became impossible for my family. With Dad having Alpha one of the things he truly loved to do has been taken aw...

Day 11- A Picture of your Best Friend Since I will be away this weekend I have decided that I will post for the next two days awhile! My Mom and I! My best friend in the whole world is my Mom! No matter what life brings shes always the one there helping me to get through it! I can tell her everything!! She always puts me first and always is there for me!! I look up to her everyday! Love you mom! "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Washington Irving

For Nothing is Impossible with God!- Luke 1:37

"You are exactly where God wants you to be at   this very moment. Every Experience is part of   his divine plan." This quote has hit home with me the last few days. Its words speak to me. There are so many days when I question why things are happening in my life or why things can't just work out a little bit easier but this quote reminds me that they are working out a little bit easier then I like to think they are. It reminds me that everything I do and all the experiences I go through are part of a bigger plan and a bigger picture. Some experiences I never question because they are fun and don't bring me any emotional upset or pain. It's when the difficult experiences come that I begin to forget this quote. I begin to forget what my life really is about. It is not just that bad experience that defines me. There is so much more that defines me and my life. I am defined by the way I react to the situations rather than by the situations themselves. ...
