American Honey

Hello everyone who reads my blog :) I can't believe it's already April 20th! I feel like every month of this year is just flying by. In 3 months & 3 days it will be my birthday (not that I'm counting or anything!) My week has been very eventful thus far! My cousin Bre tried out for the San Diego Charger girls & made it to the last round. Unfortunately she didn't want to continue on, but I know she would have made it if she would have gone back. She is such a beautiful person inside & out & I would say this whether or not she was my cousin. Also this week I got to spend some much needed time with my best friends Corey & Alexes. I feel like some weeks I get so busy that I forget to call or text them, but when I do I always remember why I love them so much. On top of this amazing week I have been helping out my dad & aunt at their small business in Henderson. Seeing as I've grown up in Henderson I seem to always run into people that I know personally or that know my family. As I was filing paper work I looked up to say hello to whoever had walked in & as I turned around there stood my 8th grade health teacher who I get the opportunity to see every once in awhile. Every time I run into someone that I know I can't help but laugh. I feel like my family knows EVERYONE in this town! Being that I have such a huge family I can't get away with anything! Here's a Perfect example! Sunday I decided to skip church thinking that I could get away with it. I was wrong! My dad texted me after my church had let out to ask me why I wasn't there. By this time I'm wondering how my dad knew this piece of information. Turns out he had ran into someone I knew at church that my dad's known for years & he had let the cat out of the bag. Small towns: curse or blessing? Also when I opened my first bank account the teller that helped me out asked me if I knew a man named Maurice. Of course I said yes that's my uncle. Turns out that was her first love & he broke her heart. Only would this sort of thing happen to me & it happens all of the time! My dad & uncle alone probably dated half of Henderson back in the day. Seeing as it was 88 degrees here today already I know I'm in for a long summer of heat, but as weird as this sounds I enjoy the heat. As long as it's under 100 degrees & not humid I can handle it. Now that I'm finished rambling on I've decided to include 1 inspirational thought that I learned myself today. Heavenly father has to put you through some sort of trial in order to make you stronger. He doesn't do anything because he doesn't love you, he does it because of his love for you. If he brought you to it, he'll help you through it. I hope that this thought brings whoever reads my blog a little sense of comfort & happiness.
