Hello family! I miss you all, to say the very least! I had a productive day off and am now bored since I don't have a whole lot to do for the rest of the night. I thought I would make good use of this time and let you all know how much I appreciate you guys!

Momma! You are still my hero and inspiration in everything I do. I know that I am struggling out here on my own, but do not worry, I know that I can always show up at the doorstep and be home whenever I need to. I am happy to finally get school underway, and you are my drive to get it done! :)

Dad! Happy (early) Father's Day! I just want to say thank you for all you have done for the family over the years, and the time you had to sacrifice away from us to keep us (and the country) safe. You really are a "SuperDad". I can't wait to visit home and make fun of you soon! :)

Meggy! I can't believe you will be in your senior year this fall! I remember when I launched you out of a toy stroller and almost broke your face! True love right there (haha)! You are my best friend and a wonderful person to talk to in times of need. I am so proud of the person you are shaping up to be.

Darrian! We are one in the same, we probably should have been twins! Whenever I need a laugh, you are there :) You have the biggest heart of anyone I know and that is something hard to come by now-a-days! Always stay true to who you are no matter what anyone says. Unless they say to be Batman.... then, be Batman!

I can't wait to see you guys in about 5 days! WooHoo! Well I am going to go be a lazy bum and watch a movie now. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! <3

New Year, New Motivation

With the beginning of a new year, people get a sense of new-found motivation. I am definitely one of those people. My goal is usually always the same: to make progress towards my life goals. I guess technically we always make progress towards our goals, slowly. I have made a huge step towards my goal this past year. I finally decided what I would like to do with my life, and I now have the proper motivation to go to school for it. I am, like everyone else, sure that this year will be better than the last.

I feel that for myself, this will be a good year in moving forward in my life goals, and making more progress than I have before. I hope that you do the same, whether it happens on it's own or if you have to make it happen.
