Day Twenty Four

A Letter To Your Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

I want you to know how much I love you. You have always, since the time I was little, provided the greatest example to me. I am the woman I am today because I have had parents like you. I often think to myself that I am very lucky to have been given parents who are so accepting, forgiving and loving as I have. Most kids are scared of their parents, but when something bad happens to me, the first thing I want to to do is run home to tell you because I know you'll listen, care, and give me the best possible advice.

I know odds were stacked against you, getting married so young, but you got through everything...together. That is something I really admire in the two of you and hope to emulate some day with my own husband and children.

You are both great providers and have helped me emotionally, physically and financially so that I could have everything I have ever wanted. I have been successful due large part to the two of you. Which is also what pushes me to keep going, because I know that I owe you to see things through. I have been given every opportunity and therefore, I have no excuse to not reach my full potential. I want to make you proud as you have done for me.

People always tell me that I am spoiled, I smile and say "I know". I am not a spoiled brat however, there is a difference. I know this because I am very grateful for everything given to me. I don't want either of you to think that the little things don't matter, because they do. Little notes of encouragement, help with assignments or activities, or just an "I love you" at the end of the day means everything to me. I thank Heavenly Father every night for the two of you. I wouldn't be where I am today, without you.

There is so much more to say, but I have homework. :)

Don't take these words lightly: I Love You.

Day Twenty Three

Something You Crave For A Lot

Day Twenty Two

What Makes You Different Form Anyone Else?

I am girly, yet tough.
I am compassionate, yet blunt.
I am pretty, yet a total scrounge.
I am loyal, but I don't give second chances.

I don't take anyone's crap, and I will fight to defend myself against anyone.
I value family above anything else; they will always be my first choice.
I am very self-motivated; no one ever has to tell me to get my work done.
I am very practical and am constantly thinking about the future. I won't do something today that will ruin my tomorrow.
I am fiesty.
I like blood and gore.
I am confident; I don't care what people think about me.
I don't embarass easily.
I am brave.
I am highly organized, except when it comes to my room or car.
I am funny.
I am determined; I strive for the things I want most in life.

I think all these things combined make me different from anyone else.

Day Twenty One

Holy Crap! Can you believe it's already October?!

A Picture Of Something That Makes You Happy

There are many things that I could have posted about, but when I first read today's topic, one thing popped into my head:

This is my baby! Well, not MY baby, but Kristin and Brandon's soon-to-be bebe. I have been begging them since the got off their honeymoon (over four years ago) to have a baby. They always told me no. On August 6, I slept over at Kristin's house (ya know, what sisters do) and we were looking at proffessional photography sites-something that we both LOVE- and pictures of babies started showing up. I whined yet again and Kristin replied with "if you want a baby so bad, have one yourself!" (REAL mature, Kristin). Then on August 8th, Brandon and Kristin came over to "talk to my dad", but he was caught up at church. They had other obligations that day so they had to leave and said they would be back. I had to go do UPC stuff later that night. Kristin text me and said "Where did you go?" I told her I had office work to do and wouldn't be home til really late. She told me I sucked. I agreed.

My mom then text me and asked me to pick up a crockpot from Kristin's on my way home. I told her to tell Kristin to leave it on the front porch because I wouldn't be home until about 2 am. I stopped at Kristin's house and walked up to the porch to get the crock pot and attached to it was this note:

I was so excited, but sad at the same time that I had missed everyone finding out together. And sad that it was 2am and I couldn't talk to anyone about my excitement. I cried.

Ever since then, all we can all think about is BABY. We have already started a box of gifts that we have slowly started buying. Can't wait for April 10th!!
