Cancer Sucks, God is Great

Sometimes I like to wonder why life is unfair, why a just God would allow his children to suffer. I have watched many people fight this horrible disease called cancer.  I watched my own father die in front of me. I watched my aunt battle with it for 6 years until it finally overtook her. I've watched my dear friend Tiff struggle as well.  And now another person close to me has contracted this disease.  It seems like the doctors will only tell you one of two things; one, its a virus, two, you have cancer.

HOWEVER, through it all I have discovered that God is just. He loves each and every one of his children.  He will not allow us to go through things that we can not handle.  It is natural to wonder why, to question the method of this madness, but we cannot let us loose sight and focus on the Lord.

Cancer doesn't just affect the patient, it effects everyone around them.
We fight with you.
Christ fights with you.
You are never alone.

ER trips and good friends

I broke my arm.  Yep that's right. Broke. And to make my story even more dramatic it was 11:30 at night while I was on a date.  My adorable date had to drive me home (in my own car) so my mom could take me to the ER. He was so sweet and defs totes one of my favorite guys I've ever taken on a date. So after multiple xrays and two hours I was given a loritab and 800 mg of ibuprofen and sent home.

one thing I've learned.  I have the best friend a girl could ask for.
Braden was the most chivalrous date ever
Kayla curled my hair
Sara made me brownies
Ryan brought me delicious orange rolls
Bee took me to my photo shoot and carried around all my stuff
Shayna made me cookies
Syd washed my hair in the kitchen sink

I am immensely blessed.

To me you'll always be 18

I love this song with all my heart.  When I listen to it, it somehow makes me feel beautiful.  Sometimes.  This song brings back memories of chances I missed, but chances I took as well.  I miss some of the friends that I am not close to anymore.  I miss having them in my life.  So this is to all you who we aren't as close as we used to be.

Oh dearie...

oh dear.  It has been much too long since I have posted! so here is just a quick update on me...
Today I went shopping for dorm stuffs and will continue to do so tomorrow.  I am attempting to decide where to get my senior pictures done.  Life is moving fast and I often look back and wonder how I ever made it this far.  Life is good! Fourth quarter just started which means we are in the final downhill slide till graduation.  Right now it is spring break.. instead of going anywhere I am working... every day. I am way excited to get the paycheck!

Love you all!
