In Honor of my Last Day of Being Sixteen.....

I think it's appropriate to shine a light on a few specific things that's made it one heck of a year!

• Joining Damsels! Winning 4th place at State Fair! (even though we deserf
• Drama Club (always!)
• A thirty-something year old guy working at a resturant giving me his number as I was paying....and then texting him later telling him I was only 16, and never hearing back from him. And then only to find out later that my friend knows him....and he's got a family. Niceee.
• Going to the best school dances EVER!
• Seeing all my cousins in one place for the first time in like 6 or 7 years! (Not under the best circumstances though....but still)
• Riding a motorcycle for the first time!
• Seeing my dad get held up outside my grandparent's house...wait, were these supposed to be good things? Well, still interesting.
• Learning I don't have to be anybody specific, I don't have to fit in a box. I have many different sides, and it's perfectly ok to be one side one day, and another side another day, and eventually someone will be able to deal with my many different facets :)
• I stopped caring about a lot of things that don't matter or that I can't change.
• Seeing people for who they truly are, and now feeling up to the challenge to do something about it.
• Becoming more confident...still got a ways to go though
• Being more honest with myself
• Going on my first interview, although it was cut short when they found out I wasn't 18...talk about embarrassing.
• Learning to relish every second of my lucky lucky life
• Being The Crow for Jordyn's Halloween themed birthday party :)
• Meeting new people, new friends, and being more outgoing
• Learning how much I really do love my entire family
• Going out with my friends more, and having fun!
• Actually making an effort to reach my goals, instead of just talking about them
• Working at Lucas Oil Stadium for 14 hours straight (oooohhh myyy Goddd!)
• Learning that I can, and one day soon will be completely content and happy with my life, because it IS good. It's not perfect and the sun doesn't shine all the time, but I'm very lucky.
• Vowing to l.i.v.e every single day of my life, because they're all gifts from God, thanks buddy :)
• And of course, continuing to dream. dance. sing. smile. and laugh. and i won't stop. ever.
