honestly...

Like I really don't see how parents can handle a teenager. Just in high school alone, I can't stand the childish, annoying and dumb things that a lot of them say or do. I myself probably am the same way but just from my observation, parents deserve an award. You have so many different types of teenagers. You have the chilled teen, the athletic teen, the smart teen, the dumb teen... but one thing they all have in common is how dumb they are. It's just in their nature. Being a part sure is a lot of work and sometimes it'd be nice to have an instruction manual.

family

See this? It is a happy family. Not all families are portrayed in this way, they come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Not every family is made up of 4 members. You can have one parent, a step dad/mom, a foster parent, or even a gay couple. Happiness in a family doesn't depend on who's in it or how many members. It has to do with the love and care that is shared!

Looking back

Looking at my baby pictures makes me feel so old. I am now 18 years old and time has flown by so fast. I graduate in May and attend the university of my dreams right after. It's so unreal! It's crazy to think that life as I know it is going to change. After Lander I hope to find the one I am going to marry and settle down... Just thinking about that makes me smile because I know that I was once a little girl who had mommy and daddy by her side through everything and if I ever needed anything, they were there. Now I am about to go off to college and be on my own, no help from mommy and daddy. I am a big girl now and it's sad.

God gained an angel.

On Sunday I lost my great grandmother. It is a huge loss. She has played a major role in my life by doing many things for me and making a million memories with me. When someone passes to go with the one true lord, they are at peace. And that is how I feel about My granny. She was the most unselfish, caring, loving, and helping human being I've ever known. She didn't let being used by other low life people and her health bring her down or even effect her relationship with jesus christ. Of course she'll be missed by everyone that she has met and loved but it brings peace to me and my family to know that she is no longer suffering, being used, or dealing with what this evil world has to offer. She is with the lord and has a huge smile on her face. I love you granny and I'll miss you more than anything.

Family is everything.

Christmas time is over now, but that doesn't mean stop giving. I don't mean giving presents and money, but what I mean is care and love. Not enough people give that out now a days. As the holidays keep going on through the years, the meaning of Christmas is slipping away. Back then it meant family time, and making memories. Now it means spending money and out doing one another. What is really important during the holidays? FAMILY! Parents and children bond in this time. Proof of that is when children that are moved off or in college come back home for holidays. Memories are important for the holidays. Love one another and spend all the precious time you can with your family. Be a wonderful parent and a grateful child and make the holidays one to remember!
