I'm 18!

Today I have been on this earth for eighteen years. Looking back a lot of things have happened in my short little life. I was born to a seventeen year old that had other responsibilities. The people I call mom & dad where there from day 1 (the used to be my grandparents). They legally adopted me once I was four years old. I moved to a small town in Kansas and grew up there knowing everyone and them knowing me. I made a lot of stupid decisions in my teenage years and paid a lot on consequences but now I am on the right track. Just in the past year I have grown up a lot and I thank God everyday for molding me into the person I am today. If it wasn't for my family and my church family I have no idea where I would be! 

Moving to Kansas City!

I did what I never thought I would do. I begun to move out of my parents house. As I made my trip to big city Kansas (a 2 1/2 hour drive) I reminisced about all my memories I have had with my parents by my side, there sure have been a lot of good times and bad times at my home. Now its time for me to move on to my new house and make it my home. One memory that sticks so vividly in my head right now is when I was packing up all my decorations of my room into a box and my mom just standing there... crying. It hurt so bad to pack up everything that I had accumulated over the years but I knew it was the right thing to do. It was time for me to begin my own life, begin my own family, and experience life. So here is to new beginnings!
