Today, 12/13/14 ( how awesome is that), I graduate college. First let me just start off by thanking everyone who has supported me along the way. First and foremost I want to thank God for seeing me through it all. Without his strength, and being able to lean on Him, I would have never gotten through. To my parents for all your love and support, I want to thank you for everything. You have been there every step of the way, not just through college, but for the last 24 years of my life. Thank you for always guiding me and pushing me to do the very best I can. Thank you for always being great Godly examples in my life and showing me how to be an example to others. Thank you for preparing me for life, and teaching me that I can do anything I set my mind to. I could go on for years about what you have both taught me separately, but I do know that together you have taught me more than I could ever express, and I thank God everyday for giving me such amazing parents! Without you I would literally not be here :) To my brother and sister, you guys are my rocks. No matter what, you love me unconditionally! No matter if I fail at something or accomplish it, you never look at me any differently than being anything other than your big sister! Thank you for that, and remember that to me, no matter where life takes me, being a big sister to ya'll is one of my biggest joys in life and I take more pride in that than many other things in life. To my Granny, I can never express my gratitude that I owe you for always being there to guide me through life. Whether it be praising me for something or tell me to suck it up, everything you have taught me along the way, will never be forgotten or taken for granted. I will never grow out of needing or seeking your advice. Your example in my life is beyond measure and God surely blessed me with you! Nana, thank you for always being one of my biggest supporters. No matter how long it has taken me to get here, you never doubted me and are always so encouraging! I know I can always count on you for a warm smile and encouragement along the way! For your love and support, I will be eternally grateful! God surely blessed me with some awesome grandmothers! To my in-laws, thank you for always being there for me and listening to my ever ending rants about life and school, for treating like your own for the last 7 years and welcoming me into the family with open arms! To KD, we have been through so much in these last couple years, I wouldn't know where to begin! From supporting each other in A&P to the arrival of your sweet baby boy, we have been through it all! I can never express how much your friendship has meant to be in such a short time! Even from so far away, I could always feel your support, and know that I could always vent to you about anything! Thank you for being my always faithful go-to! There are so many people that I could thank individually that had something to do with raising me and getting me here to this day, but I could not dare try to name you all. You all know who you are and what you mean in my life. To life long friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, and everybody in between that have been a part of my life, thank you for everything you have done! ........To all my itty bittys ( Ellie, Jax, Willow, Wyatt) you are all my little rays of sunshine! Aunt Brooke could not imagine a world without you! You turn my bad days into good ones by just getting a picture or video from your parents! You will never know the stressful days your smiling faces have seen me through! ......... And no I did most certainly not for him....To my fiance Austin, my goodness where do I even begin! If anybody knows everything I have gone through to get here, it is certainly you! You are the one that heard every tear and every complaint from day one. From the smallest problems to the biggest, you where always there with the most encouraging words. You faith in me never faltered, and you never let me see any discouragement in your face. You have continued to encourage me on countless occasions where I just wanted to throw my hands up, especially this very last finals week! I know I was certainly A LOT to handle A LOT of the time! I thank you for never giving up on me and always being my shoulder to cry on! Without you I have no idea where I would be and I never want to find out! I love you Davis! Now let's get 2015 started!! I promise (I'll try) not to get too stressed during this planning process!
Thank you again to everyone! I love you all and I am so sorry if I left anyone out! I promise it is not intentional! It's just that God had blessed me with SSSOO many wonderful people in my life, it would take me the rest of my life to thank you all individually for everything you have done and all you have meant to me! I love you all!
This chapter in my life is closing, but I am so exciting about the one I am about to start writing! This one will truly be exciting and I am so looking forward to it! Please continue to pray that God will lead me where He would have me in life, and in my career!
