Blast from the Past!

My grandma found some old photos of us while looking around in her office! I was so glad to see them. They remind me of everything I've been through these (almost) 21 years! I have been so blessed with a happy childhood, a family that loves me, and parents that care (including my angel father always watching me). Even in the teenage years I had so many friends and was involved with cheer leading, clogging, school and church activities, I loved every minute of it. I was blessed to not have problems in high school and to get very good grades! When I look back at all of this that I have been blessed with I think "why don't I take advantage of what I'm blessed with right now!" I'm at one of the most exciting moments of life! I've lived away from home and learned who I am and what I want, there have been lots of mistakes and rough patches but THANK GOODNESS I avoided any BIG regrets! I now appreciate my family more and living with them is actually enjoyable for once. I am not tied to anything! I can take a week off work and say I'm going to Logan, or Vegas, or LONDON, and there is nobody that will say no, or I need you here! My money is in order and I have a GREAT job and it's only me I have to worry about, no husband and kids that have to come before me! I am excited for when a family of my own will come into my life, but right now I'm thankful I can be SELFISH!! I can splurge on my clothes and phone and vacations because this is my last chance to focus on ME!!! I'm also so thankful that this "selfish" streak has caused me to really find my own testimony!! I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ! He is my Savior and died so that I could be forgiven and return to him and our heavenly father! There is no greater peace then knowing we can live together with our family for eternity! I'm glad that I got this little "blast from the past" and that it started me thinking in this direction! I'm so happy with who I am and what I have, I've never been more at peace with me and my future!! So here's to 2011 and being selfish!!
