Anyway

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.

Be honest anyway.

What you spend years creating, other can destroy overnight.

Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today will often be forgotten.

Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be good enough.

Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway. 

Tanner

We have made it a year. It has had its slow and fast moments. But in the end i'm just proud of you. Tanner I miss you. I miss our little gossip talks, making Rustin mad, our drives, how you can mimic anyone, dating tips, the scary movies we never finished because we got too scared, the lawn always in tip top shape, even you yelling at kids not to walk on it or even touch it in anyway, how we share our shoe obsession, and how we are both always in a hurry, even when we have no where to be or anything to do. You're a trooper. Thank you for everything. I have learned so much and appreciate the impact you have made in my life. You're doing great things and have taught me the importance in having a good attitude and being happy. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to show you how things work around college when you get back ;) See you in a year.

Called it

The time has come. It is finally coming to an end. After weeks of T.V. every Monday night, we're going to have our winner. I love my shows. But you heard it here first, I am calling it. JP is the one. Watch tonight. It's going to be a grand ending.

Kiana and Cierra, get ready for that sandwich.

Opinions

Everyone has different opinions.

Which is great.

So I would love to hear your opinions.

I am trying to decide what I should do.

Bang or no bangs?

No bangs:

And the bangs:

It's time

How can something you finally realize feel so right but be so hard? You never know what life is going to throw at you. But we all have sadness and hard times, so we can fully enjoy the good times and understand what happy is. I'm selfish. I have gotten caught up in everything. Not taking a time out to truly think things through. I did what I thought would make me happy in the moment. It all caught up to me. That's not what it's about. It's time to look at the bigger picture. See what is best for everyone in the end. No one said life would be easy. But when I look back, I would love to be able to say I did my best. I made the most of the time I had. Remember who you are. Don't forget that. Be strong. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. Sometimes we need to learn things the hard way. But in the end we learn and become stronger. It's time. Stand up for yourself!

We're cool

Sometimes I get really bored.

This is usually what ends up happening.

He is kind of like my twin.

Stolen car wash

You're probably wondering how that happens.

I would be too.

My car was looking a little dirty so my mom and I went to get a car wash.

We went and over to the side there is the box machine where you tell which kind of a car wash you'd like and pay. So we put in our five dollars and the green light comes on to drive forward into the car wash and out of no where a car comes and cuts us off and sneaks right into the car wash.

What the heck?

We sat there and looked over at each other not knowing what to even think or say.

Then we both just started busting up laughing so hard.

Who does that?

It was an old lady. We still aren't sure if she did mean to hurry and steal out car wash or just needed one and drove up and didn't even notice. 

I wasn't even sure what to do at that point. So we just payed another five bucks and got OUR car wash. 

So that day we ended up getting a $10 car wash and a great laugh.
