Happy new year!!2009


I hope everyone has an amazing New Year!!! Filled with love and many accomplishments! I love FRESH STARTS so this means I love NEW YEARS!! 2008 has been filled with bits of everything! I have grown so much and gained so much knowledge over the year more so than ever I think... The life experience I have received has changed me forever! In a very good way!:) Okay... I have written two paragraphs and erased both of them. RIDICULOUS! I was debating weather I should share my biggest accomplishment in the year 2008 or not. Because some people don't understand. For a long time I have been so ashamed and embarrassed... But life is all about learning from your mistakes. June of this year I finally graduated High School! I finally received that darn diploma! It was by far one of the most amazing feelings that I have ever had rush over me entirely. As I walked across that stage in cap and gown hearing my family& friends scream and cheer me on... (I can still hear Chris) it was so powerful! I cried across the stage. I couldn't believe it. Once I finally decided to do it I walked in to the office on June 19Th... I needed 3 credits to graduate and the next graduation was June 28Th... 9 days!? But my new years resolution was to graduate in June. The counselor told me to just plan on walking in December but I said no way. I stayed up every night till 2 or 3 in the morning doing the work, I took a couple days off work and I told myself "I have to do this." I have put it off for so long and everything else has been priority in my life. I put graduation on the top of my priorities that week and just in the nick of time I went on the last day you could turn work and tests in. The lady at the front desk said "okay fill this out for your cap and gown please".... What? I freaking did it?! No way! It felt so good to drive to my dads and hand him the invitation to my graduation! Any way... I know that anything is possible, even when it seems impossible! Always believe in yourself. Have a great night!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Malissa, you are the cutest girl ever! I miss you so much and wish SO bad I could've seen you while I was there for Christmas but I didn't have a car, and it was mostly all family time ya know?! Did Linz tell you I saw her and that I said hello?? Maternity clothes you ask??...They aren't :) I LOVE forever 21! That place has saved my life. They have super cute bubble long shirts and they are super cheap so you can stock up. You will have to go there :) Go to Old Navy for maternity pants. It's the ONLY place I have found that the length fit cuz they have "short" lengths for us shorties :)It's fun, you are going to love this journey of motherhood! It's the best thing ever! Remember Im here for you whenever. I know Im a new mommy and don't know much but if you ever need to chat or have gorss questions, call me! Have a happy New Year! Love you!
