21

I am an adult!

The most surreal, bizarre, exciting, troubling, dangerous, intriguing, awesome sentence I have said to myself!

20; you have been the best year of my life. Thank you!

21; I hope you contain more ice cream. I really, really like ice cream.

I really could go more in detail about how turning 21 feels but honestly 

1. No one wants to hear it

2. I have to catch a flight in 8 hours 

3. I'm apparently making a list now

4. Which gives me and idea to make the list to 21

5. Coconut is the best flavor ever

6. I love wearing long sleeves: Winter, spring, summer, or fall

7.  I've been bit by 2 scorpions. I now see in the dark

8. I hate this number 

9. I am currently reading 4 books 

10. I enjoy homework and studying

11. I secretly wanna be a florist or astronomer 

12. My favorite thing about today was hanging out with my younger brother in my room doing nothing but eating Runts, packing, making stupid videos.

13. I just hand washed a load of my clothes. Outside. In the cold. I loved it

14. I am addicted to chocolate 

15. Listening to family sitting around the table telling jokes 

16. This list is getting to long

17. I invited all my close friends to a dinner at my house for my birthday

18.Every single girl (minus 2 not able to come) have impacted my life immensely

19. Did I mention every single girl has touched my heart deeply

20. We lost about 20% of our blood supply on this night; mosquitoes, touche 

21. I have to go get my clothes out of the dryer

And thank you Jesus for all you have blessed my life with and all the victories you have given me this past year. I owe it all to Him!

Doris: This girl gets you, and if she doesn't you wouldn't know because she's there to cry and laugh with you when you need it. She tells the funniest stories and she also is the best impersonator ever! 

She has the sharpest memory. The most majestic hair. And she  fixes her eyebrows when she talks.

Love you (: 

This is Becky: Don't let me start talking to her because we will be there for HOURS. She is one of the best persons to have a conversation with. Me and her are in a "survivors of anxiety" group. 

Shes my bible buddy and  shes pretty funny. 

Love you (:

This is Mary: If she cries I cry. If I cry she cries. She is my crying buddy and we have had more tears of joy than sorrow. She is my ex-group leader. When she started wearing tank-tops under her shirt, I started wearing tank tops under my shirts. She used to be funnier than me. I caught up (:
Thanks for giving us marriage advice now hahah 

Love you Mar (: 

 This is Nici: This party would have not happened with out her. She has this biggest heart she really does.Always putting people in her life before her and is one of the biggest peacemakeers in my life. Thanks for keeping me balanced!  Shes also my ride or die partner! Any stupid ideas we've ever had we pretty much have done it. She is the only one who didnt care to embarrass herself with me.

Thanks for letting me wax your armpits. 

Love you (:

 This is Andrea: We share a brain. We share the memory of the best mission trip. We share bedbunks. We share chocolate. We share the same seat on car rides. We share toothpaste. We share food. We share a friendship. Her heart is huge as well! This girl constantly puts others before her and amazes me with how much joy she willingly helps people! This is our signature pose 

I love you (: 

 Meet Dennisa and Lorene: This picture explains exactly what they have done for me. Picked me up and carried me through my 20th year of life.
Dennisa: It amazes me how the longer we are friends the more we find out how much we are alike. She is tough on the outside yet soft on the inside. She has one of the biggest hearts for people and it amazes me how much kindness can flow from inside one person. Thanks for chasing cowboys with me!
Lorene: This girl. This girl keeps up with me. And I sometimes am a difficult person to keep up with. She is one of the most free-spirited person I know and she is so full of content, happiness and love that there is no room for anything bad in her. I am amazed that such a person could exist!
 Thanks for heading north with me!
.

Love them (:

 Meet Betty: She is God sent from above specifically for me to be the greatest friend ever. I have never fought with someone as much as I have with her. She lets me play her piano every time Im over even though I know she secretly hates it. A group of 20+ cute bikers just asked for her number at a redlight last week. It wasnt the best night of our life.
Thanks for being my anchor though it all! 

Love you (:

This is Lorena: She is the sister I never had. People ask us every time we are together if we are sisters. Happened 2 days ago again. We spent 80% of our lives together. For fun we get in my car and blast music and eat ice cream while driving in circles around the city. Yes we call that fun. Our moms our best friends. We are best friends. Our brothers are just friends.

She has been my fighting warrior through many of my battles and has had one of the biggest influences on my life. 

Love you (: 

This was the after party/cleanup crew.
