I am 24! In the past 23 years, I played sports, a lot of sports, volleyball, softball, and basketball. I graduated elementary, junior high, and high school (College in December). I have been to Indiana, Missouri, California, Florida, Minnesota, the four corners Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, and Wyoming with a few little pit stops along the way. I have traveled outside our country to Mexico, Ireland, Scotland, and England. I have grown to admire our Country. I thank the people who stand up for it, even though we sometimes take it for granted. I have seen sadness, fear, happiness and hope. I was watched people succeed and fail. I have succeeded and failed. I have learned and grown. I have gained friends, lost touch with friends, and just plain lost friends. I am sorry, if I haven’t been a better friend for the friends that have made me feel like gold and have become my own family. I have had my heart broken by someone I cared for. They know who they are and I thank them. I thank them for opening my heart to love. I got married to a person that changed my whole world for the better. Who would have thought the little boy in 3rd grade that I thought was cute would be the man I married!!! I come from a broken family that is growing. In this growth, I gained a step mother, step father, two step sisters, in laws, and the big family I always asked for. Today, is a day every year, I cry, laugh, and smile about what I have been through. I can honestly look back on this last 24 and not regret a thing that has happened, even if it is good or bad. I am proud to say I have lived. I will keep living and growing. Thank you to those that have been examples and guidance to me. If I haven’t told you, if I haven’t shown you, I WILL. Thank you and love you all!!!
With Love, Stacey
