from little to big.

gradutaion. it's here and i almost can't even believe it. now i haven't blogged for a really really long time but i've been saving up for this post. a post that when i first started my blog i knew i would do. one that will probably make me cry right now and when im older.

paved with pictures. that's what i'm showing you today from when i was a little baby to a young girl and now to who i am today. we've been watching all of my home movies lately and i recently hear the song "letter to me" by brad paisely. so when i watch those videos of me with not a care in the whole world i want to hug that little girl and tell her to dream big and never give up. life is an interesting thing and it's amazing how each experience you have creates you to be someone. this year especially i have grown in every way in my life. and to think there is more growing, greater happiness, fear, pain, laughter and everything in between amazes me.

 i want to thank some people. first off my sister. what would we do with out them? my little sister is the best. i'm so lucky to have her example in my life. she is one who has never given up and always fights for her dreams more than anyone else. she will forever be my mija. and that means more than most could understand. next i want to thank all the new friends i have met this year. for tiff. for lex. for han. for josh. for tys. and for jon. you have all totally turned my life around. thank you for being who you are and becoming friends with me. one little night changed my life. next i want to thank katelyn. i don't know where i would be with out this girl. from watching time travelers wife to screaming music blasting in my car to driving to salt lake to laughing to sharing all of our secrets this girl never forgets me and i am so grateful for that. i also want to thank my family. i'm glad i have a family that loves each other. aunts, unlces, cousins, and grandparents. i'm grateful that we have traditions of going places, singing, and just being together. thank you for supporting me. last i want to thank my parents. i was definitely not an angel child and i'm sure at the start of this senior year we were all thinking we better hold on but you always showed your love to me and been there 100 percent to support me in school, clogging, and everything else. thank you for helping me grow this year. especially my mom. thank you for becoming my best friend. this year especially i feel i am able to tell you everything that is going on and i know a lot of girls don't have that. how lucky i am to be able to have my own mom as my best friend.

well here is goes. picture over load.

happy graduation. much love.
