One step at a time...

Hey guys! It's almost summer! I cannot wait! I'm soooo excited! I'm so tired of school right now. I need a break! It's so weird to think how old I'm going to be...I mean yeah, I'm not too old...but still to me...I'm growing up WAAAAYYYY TOO FAST! So these last few weeks have been insane! My sister left for her mission and will be flying out to Richmond, Virginia this Wednesday! This will be the longest that she has been away from home! A year and a half...which isn't too long, but still...she's my sister. I've lived with her my whole life, and even when she did move out, it wasn't like I still couldn't see her...whereas this...I won't get to see her till that year and a half is over. Well, I'm sure she will learn a lot and she'll have a blast! Oh, last post I mentioned that I was doing One Acts for my school...well we did really good. I'm really proud of everybody who was in it. We got in a three-way tie for Judges Choice of Best One Act! I want to just really quick thank my director for all she has taught me through it all. She is so amazing, not just as a director, but as a friend too. I had a blast being a part of her One Act. I am so grateful for the experience she gave me. Thank you so much Bonnie! I'm really going to miss you! As well as the rest of the cast from my One Act! I had a lot of fun with all of you! You all are amazing! Oh and guess who got to skip Drama 2 and made it into Drama 3! Yup, this girl! I'm so happy and sooo thankful! The end of this school year is finally starting to work out! It's exactly what I needed to keep me going. I have learned a lot this year, and have been through a lot...but I'm grateful for all the good moments, actually I'm grateful for every moment, whether good or bad. I know myself a little better, and know what I can handle a little more than I used to know. This is what life is about. You are given trials to learn. You are only given what you can handle. You just have to take it all one step at a time. Hope you all have a great week, and for those who are getting out of school this week like me...YAY! Now...onto those quotes!!!
