Two.Five.

It's official... I have been on this earth for twenty-five years, a quarter of a century. It's quite interesting to think about, granted I don't remember everything, I would venture to say most things. I feel like my memory is terrible, which is probably why I take so many photos and create yearly photo books, if I see it then I seem to be able to find it in my jumbled mind.

I do know that I have been blessed with

The best parents.

(+nice inlaws!)

A wonderful sister.

I've read more books than I can count, enjoy art of all types, love listening and singing along with music, vintage photos make me happy, I'm very patriotic when it comes to the troops, decorating is something I've recently gotten into (maybe because I have a house?), and I really miss having guinea pigs.

I pray I've impacted people positively. I pray that I will continue to say "yes" to God and not live in fear. I want everyone I know and love to be in Heaven with me!

I've made some dumb mistakes, sometimes I've wondered "how I am still alive?" Been punished and gotten away with things. Made and lost friends. Tried and failed. Found things I love and things that I hate. But, at the end of the day... God has my back, my family loves me, and my friends too!

 

I can't wait to see where I end up from here!

"Oh, this has gotta be the good life."
