Yes I know I haven't updated this thing in what seems like forever, but don't worry I haven't forgotten. Life has been crazy! I really now believe that life is a highway....a very bumpy highway. I have had my up and downs these past months. Through the heartaches, tears, laughters, and fears...I still manage to be alive. This past summer had my name on it. I have never realized how important my family is to me. I love them all to death! They are wonderful, beautiful people, and I wouldn't change them in anyway. I have the best friends! I now know who I can and cannot trust. I know now the true meaning of a broken heart. I thought I knew a lot more than I did about that kinda stuff but I turned out to be wrong. I don't recommend that feeling to anyone. It's the pits. I have bounced back. If you think you hit rock bottom (which I thought I had) don't worry! It's just a trampoline and you can bounce back! I am on the uphill! This summer I even learned things about myself. I am stubborn...simple as that. I need to work on that I know. I have learned about myself more than I have ever realized. Don't sweat the small stuff. Yes..Mom you have told me that many times but I never really understood it. Everything I do has a consequence. Good or bad, something will always lead to something else. I can't change the past nor do I want to. Don't EVER EVER give a 2 year old anything with red #40 in the ingredients. You won't get them to bed or to calm down and then your going to want to pull out your hair. I learned my lesson when I gave strawberry jam to my little cousin Emma. WOW!!! That is all I have to say about that crazy girl!! I am the only one left at home so to say! Kendra tied the knot! YAY FOR DINNER!! Which you still owe me dearest sister! A lot happened over the summer. Some things I wish didn't have to end they way they did, and others I wish I could re-live! I am going to start writing in this thing more often but I can't make any promises! I love my family! Love my friends! I am ready to see what the highway of life as in store for me! Can't wait for the memories!
