I've been thinking lately, mostly about life and how exciting my future looks, and I've realized how blessed I really am. (Prepare for the cheesiness, you know it's coming.) I've been pretty lucky these past few months. Let's start with the ones I am most grateful for:

My grandma's health. She has had cancer for a while, and for a few weeks it didn't look good. The past little while she has been getting better, stronger, which I am SO grateful for. Even though she may be ready to see my grandpa again, I am definitely not ready to say goodbye. I'm selfish. I know.

A mom who is uber talented and patient. Let's be honest, I am not pleasant when I am stressed, which has been the majority of the last two months. And for her wonderful teaching abilities, even with the unteachable.

My nieces and nephew that always cheer me up no matter how grumpy or stressed I am, and inevitably, their parents, for letting me spoil their children and teach them things their mothers don't approve of. =)

All my favorite people, Even baby Dani. :)

For my new self discovery; that it really is okay to be short and chunky and even a little weird in high school. Because high school passes and people move on. The people who really enjoy high school just haven't realized how much more is out there for them. I, on the other hand, have. And I'm excited.
