PRAYERS WANTED!!!!
There are a few people specifically in my life that I want to give thanks to for really making a difference in my life throughout these 33 years of mine.
Most recently I've made a best friend in Monica Moyer. She has been my sounding board, shoulder to cry on, reality check and she lets me borrow her kids!
I'm really going to miss this woman! She supports me in so many ways and speaks truth to me like no else can. I will certainly miss our ladies' nights and the time I spend as another member of her family. Monica, your open arms to me came at the exact moment I needed them and I thank God for you everyday!
Junior year of high school was by far my most wonderful because of 2 amazing women, Andrea Cunningham Talbot and Abby Thompson. They have taught me so much since our friendship began. We have so many memories of just laughing together, laughing so hard you suddenly have a six pack. Well Abby always has that so in her case it's 8.
We have been teens together and adults. We know each others deepest fears and have cried together countless times. Even though we spent years apart living in different states we are still able to come together as if those years were spent living next door to each other. It's friendship like this that shapes a person. These two amazing women have certainly shaped me. They are both amazing moms and have strong faith in our Father. I'm really going to miss our late night talks and roll-on-the-floor laughing hours.
With the 5 year age difference, my brother Sean was always to me the baby. I was old enough to take care of him, change diapers, feed him, rock him to sleep; whatever my mom needed my help with I could do. Once I got older he became this little kid who got in the way. I really didn't pay him much attention when I was in middle or high school. In college I missed most of his sporting events and then when he went to college I was busy teaching already. However, in the last few years, thanks to technology and books, Sean and I have come to really know each other better. He has been such an inspiration to me. Watching him make changes in his life to really better himself, studing abroad in China, driving cross country to pursue his dreams in film. He's so good to me I just hope I can be equally good to him. Thank you Sean for all that you have done to support me on this crazy adventure I'm taking! I love you dearly!
Last, but of course not least, I have to give a shout out to my incredible parents. They have ALWAYS been supportive to each of us. They sacrificed through my years as a gymnast, they attended every volleyball game, swim meet, football and basketball game I cheered for and softball game I ever participated. They have helped me pay for countless wants and needs. They have helped lay my foundation of faith and help me grow within it everyday. I'm most thankful that my parents have helped me to grow roots in our family, grow wings for my dreams and offered to cultivate those roots while I'm soaring on those wings. I LOVE YOU MOM & DAD!
