I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.

Proud to be an American


Since July 4th is quickly approaching...I wanted to mention a few things that I am thankful for!!!


1. That I have a roof over my head, clothes on back, food on the table, and a car with the gas tank filled.

2. My parents-no matter how much we argue-they could not be better providers or caregivers

3. My freedom-I think I take that for granted everyday-but seriously I am thankful that I can speak about topics that are important to me, that I can vote in any election, that I can choose to pray or not to. It is such a powerful gift to have.

4. For our troops fighting over seas and these ones fighting for us here!- I could never thank them enough- their sacrifice is amazing and selfless.

5. For my education- I am learning more and more everyday on how to saves Gods children..Its a difficult process, but one that could change the world

6. My faith- It is my decision-one that was not forced upon me and not one that could ever be taken from me!!

7. My friends- I've had a difficult year and without them, I would be lost...I can honestly say that I have the best friends in the whole world.

8. Opportunity- I can be anyone I want to be, go anywhere I want to go, and not think twice about it...I have the world at my finger tips and its up to me as to what I do with it!!

9. America- Our country is the best country in the entire world..we come together when times are hard and lend a hand when a fellow American is in need

10. Memories- Everyone of them has shaped me into the person I am today...as a baby to High school to college...to post grad...and everything in between!

11. Being young- I love people thinking that because of my age, I am inexperienced or immature. I love to prove them all wrong


5 more trivial things I am thankful for

1. My television shows- couldn't live without Friday Night Lights or Vampire Diaries or Dancing with the Stars...love my big rock in life

2. Hot Men- Taylor Kitsh, Zac Efron, James Franco...always nice to look at some good eye candy

3. Blaring my music on a summer day with the windows down....nothing more liberating

4. Clothes..I love to shop and I love fashion..what can I say I am a typical girl

5. Going to the lake with friends, a boat, and a cooler of my favorite beverages
