Happy Birthday Stacie :)

It's my favorite sister's 17th birthday tomorrow! AHHH! I can't believe she's that old. It seems like yesterday we were sharing a room and jumping from each other's beds, having tickle fights, and just being crazy together...which we still do :) I love her so much! Even though she is younger, she is definitely an example to me. She just graduated from MATC and got her CNA, she knows what she wants to do with her life and won't let anyone stop her, and she is one of the happiest people I know! You're great Stac :) I look up to you more than you know! I'm proud of everything you've accomplished in your life and there sure are a lot of things! You freaking ran a half marathon when you were 16, you've lettered in swimming, you're smart, and I can guarantee that you've touched hundreds of people's lives even if they've just known you for a couple minutes :) Happy Birthday Stacie! I love you :)

To My Mom

I easily have the BEST mom in the world, hands down! She always knows exactly what to say to me. She is constantly serving my family and others. She is one of the most loving people I know. She is my role model and I hope to be as great of a person as she is one day. I love you Mom! :) Thanks for everything you've done for me and for everything you've sacrificed for our family.

I saw this video on Facebook. This guy has a great perspective on life. It's so crazy that our attitude determines everything. It determines how we feel, what we think, what we do...everything. There's a great quote that kind of goes along with this. "Never let your circumstances determine your happiness." You, and you alone decide your own happiness. So choose to have a good attitude. Obviously, it's a lot easier said then done, but it really will make your life go much smoother :)
