Graduation

So this week I had the pleasure of seeing my sister graduate......pretty crazy experience. I had to work a graveyard shift before so I went into this with no sleep after drawing little tiny babies in the NICU all night. Needless to say, it was the best graduation ever. SO much better then mine, and it left me in tears. Not only does Copper Hills now have the greatest principle I have ever had the honor of hearing speak, but I got to witness something amazing. There was a boy in Tal's class who's dad accidentally shot him and he was told that he would be paralyzed and would never walk again, He walked across the entire stage to receive his diploma......it was amazing and so inspiring.

I had a really hard time at her graduation, I honestly loved high school. If i could have the opportunity to go back and do it all again, I would in a heartbeat. I think graduations are kind of silly, because they all talk about how you've received all this knowledge and you can go out and conquer the world and do anything blah blah blah. Honestly, its all bull shit. I learned nothing in high school that I use in my daily life.....I don't really use math, I don't use english, Who knows the last time that I used science. I feel like I didn't learn much from high school except for how to sluff class and go to the mall without getting caught and how to forge my moms signature for disclosures. Don't get me wrong, I think my sister is the most amazing thing on this whole planet and I KNOW that she is going to go on and do amazing things, but it just makes me sad that you leave high school and your place of comfort and get thrown out into the real world so fast. Maybe it is just me because I got married so quick and had a mortgage payment right away. Either way, every day is a learning experience....In high school my senior year, I was forced to go through something that was really hard for me and I learned who my true friends were and who weren't. It was probably one of the hardest experiences of my life, but since I have graduated I have learned so much and I have totally become a different person. Yeah, I have made some huge mistakes, but you learn from  them and you move on. High school was just such a simple time in my life and the little drama that I had I look back and wish that could be all I was dealing with right now. Then things like that boy walked across the stage hits you right in the face and you realize that things could be worse and it makes you so grateful for what you have and makes you want to be a better person. So needless to say, I am so proud of my sister. She is the most amazing and gorgeous thing that I have ever seen and I am so thankful that I was chosen to be her older sister. I know that she is going to go on and do amazing things and make an amazing life for herself. I am so thankful for my amazing family and how adorable they are. I am so thankful for my high school experience and it is going to be something that I am going to treasure and remember for the rest of my life, and it is the thing that has shaped me to be who I am today.

I am trying to not post pictures on facebook all summer, just pictures on here so I have a reason to blog more and because it feels more personal. Soooo we will see how well that goes because I am an instagram a holic.   How cute are my pink shoes by the way?! My mom hated them, but they were adorable. (Holla at my homegirl Kalei for still having my dress so I still have your shoes! ;)) I hope that one day my blog posts will be as hilarious as Talia's are and not all the sentimental shit that I always post about. If you want a good laugh click here and read her blog. http://www.taliajune.blogspot.com/ 

Anyways, I have a lot more to say, but I don't feel like this is the right time for me.....yet. So stay tuned and I hope to write more and more and more this summer!
